If you don't know how to get there maybe you shouldn't be working there. Microsoft usually only hires smart people, and smart people would be able to figure out how to get there. Use bing, google, then there's always Microsoft Careers?

First of all proper good english is a prerequisite.

Then you can have a look in all the Microsoft Courses. MSDE, MCP etc.

That should keep you busy for a while.

Heh. Reminds me of a couple of weeks ago, while waiting to take my road test. There was this man who could barely walk there. He told his story casually, said he had gotten in a motorcycle accident years ago. Later on, I told him I felt his pain and he replied with "God doesn't give you any more than you can handle, and he still lets me walk even though I shouldn't be able to without the $1000 leg braces I'm supposed to be wearing." I just smiled and nodded though it took massive effort to not say "Well, who crashed the motorcycle?"

Yeah, ignorant people who hide behind fallacious fictional characters annoys me to no end. Reminds me of when I was in the hospital my family is quite religious in the craziest most racist religions in the world that I have heard of, Mormonism. I have been a proud out spoken atheist ever since I hit the age of reason. I was forced with my first surgery through my mother (but it's objectivism, which you'll learn later in life to do things to make happy the people around you) to have a prayer by a bunch of mormon missionaries who'd I'd rather not even talk to. Story short, I needed surgery again, however, she was in another state when it happened, so I just went in to the OR (I was a frequent visitor at the time), and got it done. Guess what happened both time? I survived surgery. Not because of a holy fallacious blessing, but because of the advances of science, and people who know what they are doing.

My mother told me that it was a miracle and I should thank jesus for my second chance in life, but honestly, soon as she spoke of that I thought that would discredit the surgeons who has spent so many years in their profession to become the best in their field (and they were, The lead surgeon of my operation was the leading organ surgeon at Duke NC).

Objectivism is something I learned a couple of years ago.

Living in the Bible thumping country that I do with the family, which I was evolved from when people usually debate on religion I just throw a fossil at them, scream out Dinosaurs, and other very rude and cruel accurate scientific facts that religious zealots hate to dispute. Usually I chose to dispute with an arsenal of knowledge in Abiogenesis, Darwinian Evolution, or simply just dispute the idiocy of imagining a single being that could be in anyway infinite by it's omnipotent or omniscient ways.

But enough of the fairy tail, I think this person who started the post should simply think about working somewhere else.

I feel your pain. I live in central Alabama. As I've jokingly mentioned before, you can't walk to the end of the drive to get the paper without tripping over a stack of Bibles.

OT:

I think it's great that you have ambition, and that you set your goals high. There is nothing wrong with dreaming big. However, you need to take things slow. You need to spend time improving yourself, your skills, your experience. You need to get other jobs. You can't just jump into a Microsoft cubical in a single day. Work your ass off.

A lot of people that I've talked to on this forum think that things like grammar and spelling don't matter; they do. They matter more than you know. Little stuff like that can make you look bad. If you look and act professional and confident, and have the skills and experience to back it up, you might just reach your goals.

Well Raynes, I must objectively refute your comment, "There is nothing wrong with dreaming big", and that you encourage him to be ambitious and to set his goals high.

Many times than not I have seen developers on various communities, of various skill levels who dream big, has great ambition and drastic dreams on their careers, but has no realistic truth on how high they're letting there imagination climb. It is absolutely repulsive! I have seen great projects get the back burner just because they didn't realize how much work was actually involved in the development of their project.

I have seen people cry for not getting a job, or worse getting fired from their "dream job", because they didn't realize the intensity of the career they wanted to pursuit, for reasons of not knowing they would work all day and night in an office, or simply they didn't discipline themselves' working with a crowd of other developers, or discipline themselves' in their desired field.

People do have potential to do great things; however, most times than not these great things come to an end, for the lack of understanding of the difficulties and discipline needed to accomplish such great dreams.

Most of what you agree with was made up for by my comments about working for it. If you don't have ambitions, then what's the point of living?
