The tips and advice are great :-).

The water feature in the background seems unnecessary though - and probably accounts for most of the video bandwidth!

Hi Greg - The best bet is to apply for those jobs on our careers website at microsoft.com/careers. Theresa doesn't work in the entertainment & devices division, but if you submit your resume to our careers site, the right recruiters will search against it. For your next question, let me get one of our other bloggers on here to answer it.

Ram - Yes! That video is coming soon!

N - That location is our visitor's center. our other videos were filmed in less "bubbly" locations. :)

We are definitely sensitive to how difficult it is in the housing market and are always evaluating our relocation assitance.

Microsoft pays real estate transaction costs, meaning that we pay the realtor's fee when selling your house and the legal closing costs when buying something at your destination location.

Depending on your particular situation, we may have some other programs to help mitigate your issue. Discuss this with your recruiter as they will be the most informed about how best to tailor a solution for you.

Hope this answers your question

Still waiting for it to go live on Channel 9. I was on vacation the last couple weeks so I may be to blame for the delay. It's on its way! :)
