New Microsoft website for job seekers....and it's actually good

 
      We recently launched a new website
to give a funky little peak behind the curtain at Microsoft. If you
don't have a sense of humor, you'll hate it. Trust me. Don't click on
the singing cowboy videos.
The site is primarily aimed at tech folk, but a lot of the content
makes sense for the rest of us non-coder-types as well. These are real
Microsoft employees (disclaimer: the cowboy is an actor. Just thought I
would let you know in case you wondered if we was on staff). I have
long been, well, kind of complaining, that we don't do a good job of
showing our real employees to the world. Past marketing has been full
of clips of two-dimensional, perfect-looking people. I like the people
on the View<myworld> site much more. Check out Jasmine who writes
one of my favorite blogs Pike/Pine.
There are lots of videos too with people discussing a bunch of
roundtable topics like careers at Microsoft and making an impact.
Yeah. so it's obviously marketing. But it 's real people telling
about their actual experiences. In the staffing industry, recruiters
lament the lack of any valuable career site content. Most corporate
pages are transactional and <yawn> boring. So although I had
nothing to do with this web page going up (though you may see a video I
produced up there in the future), I'm pretty proud of this.
