Recruiting Trip Down in San Diego

Every quarter or so, Microsoft puts together a recruiting trip down to San Diego.  The trip usually invovles an hr person with very little technical background accompanied by three or so technical people(PM, SDE, SDET) from various orgs at Microsoft. 

The hr recruiter for UCSD contacted me recently and asked if I'd like to accompany him down to UC San Diego for his next trip Feb 19-20th.  Although I normally would hate to leave the wonderful winter weather in Seattle, I decided to make an exception in this case.  What this particular trip and probably almost all recruiting trip involves is a Microsoft company presentation at night one day and a career fair booth during the day the following day.  Over the next few blog posts, I hope to post some tips regarding interviewing at Microsoft or even getting an interview at Microsoft.  This will hopefully make my blog more popular, more popular being someone other than me reading it.
