We Still Serve helps veterans transition into Microsoft
JobsBlog would like to wish everyone a happy Fourth of July weekend.
Let's take a moment to recognize that, for veterans of the US Armed Forces, the transition from military to civilian careers can be daunting.
Microsoft's We Still Serve community supports US Military Veterans and those still active in the National Guard and Reserve, in preparing for transition, or looking for their next corporate opportunities. Check out the recently relaunched site at westillserve.com
We have a group of volunteers that have a shared military experience who will be available to discuss what it’s like to work at Microsoft and to help veterans think through next steps toward applying for a job with us.
NUI, Lolcats and other trending topics at Microsoft
Who says that college is fun and work is boring?
Work life at Microsoft is anything but the cubicle routine found at many contemporary companies. Among a universe of other perks, benefits and support, Microsoft hosts diverse and dynamic speakers who keep employees in touch with the cutting edge (if not the future) of technology.
Yesterday, I saw a speech by Craig Mundie and – a couple hours later – a presentation by Ben Huh. Mundie is Microsoft's Chief Research and Strategy Officer and part of President Obama's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Huh is the CEO and Founder of the Cheezburger Network: over 30 popular humor sites such as I Can Has Cheezburger, GraphJam and FAIL blog. His sites attract over 13 million daily visits.
The two talks ran from the highest levels of tech research down to addictively lowbrow Internet humor… and both speakers blew my mind.
