News flash (hee,
Microsoft Office 2010 Pro, hee … well, not really) ... Alexandre Gueniot (the guy with the cool flash animation resume) has been hired by Microsoft,
Office Home And Student! Robert Scoble blogged this bit of news last week,
Office Standard 2010, but being the good HR girl that I am, I wanted to get Alexandre’s permission first before announcing that he’s joining Microsoft. (You never know who wants to keep this stuff private, you know.) Last week, Robert sent me the link to Alexandre’s latest creation and asked me to check on whatever happened with his application. When Alexandre posted his flash resume, Robert forwarded it Zo"e and me, and Zo"e forwarded it along to our college recruiting team. I knew a college recruiter planned to contact him, but I didn't hear anything after that. Nicely,
Office 2007 Pro Plus, it turns out that Alexandre begins his internship with the Office Graphics team on Monday! I’ve asked Alexandre if he’ll write a guest entry for this blog to tell us more about what prompted him to create his resume and what type of reaction he received afterwards. He agreed and also promised to write about his first impressions of Microsoft. Maybe he’ll make another animation … this one about the Microsoft culture. Office can be a weird place ... watch out,
Office Standard 2007! Congrats, Alexandre. Welcome! gretchen
