recently asked me to talk about my relocation practical experience. I think it’s a good idea since we haven’t really spent a lot of time writing about that topic. In fact, I think that we have spent a lot of time focused on resume and interview tips and haven’t spent enough time on what happens if the interviews actually go well and you accept the offer. I like what one of the comments said in Gretchen’s ask for feedback: giving people clues on how to get the job, make them think about being the kind of person that is crucial to Microsoft's success. think that is a really insightful comment. Lou Adler, a recognized leader in recruiting, thinks that organizations spend more time looking at qualifications of a good candidate versus those of a good employee. I tend to agree with him to a certain extent. digress… purpose of the post is to speak a little about relocation and my working experience specifically. for the “core technical roles” that we staff in Redmond, WA we provide a fairly generous relocation package. It typically includes travel to the new location, moving your household goods, transporting your car,win 7 enterprise activation, temporary housing,microsoft office Home And Business x86 key, rental car, relocation expenses,microsoft office 2007 Professional Plus generator key, and storage of your goods for a certain period of time. to stress that this is a gross generalization, but I still think it is fairly hefty given the cost of moving from various locations. Also, there are groups and positions outside of the core technical roles that may not have the same relocation budget. (Tip for any job seeker? Make sure to check upfront what the relocation packages cover!) Additionally,office Home And Business upgrade key, your recruiter can/will tweak your package depending on your specific circumstances; Are you a homeowner? A renter in the middle of a lease? Do you have a significant other? Kids? Pets? An extensive wine collection? :) yeah – the relocation package is great, but what about my practical experience? I have to say it was completely uneventful. The movers came to my apartment and packed all my things for me (nice!). They came and got my car and put it on a huge flatbed truck. I flew out to Redmond and by that time Mr. Zo"e had already been here for 6 weeks, found an apartment and set it all up for us. What a man! more difficult for me was actually making the decision to leave family, friends and familiarity to come out to a completely unknown place and job. What helped me make the decision? It was (and still is) the opportunity of a lifetime. Not just working at Microsoft, but also experiencing a place,microsoft windows 7 enterprise x86, culture, people and environment that I would never have experienced on the East Coast. I actually feel a bit like a pioneer since all of my family is in New York and Ohio. I miss them but the distance is made shorter by planes, calls, IM, email etc. I have loved my time out here and plan on staying for the next little while at least. the fact of the matter is that Gretchen and I can talk until the day is long about how wonderful we think it is out here, but at the end of that day the decision is yours. And it is an intensely personal decision for you to make by yourself or with your family. However, I think it is one you will want to consider before you embark on any job search. If this job requires relocation – are you willing to go? thought...
