My Driver's License

I went to the final road exam for my driver's license today and successfully passed it. I am very happy that from the next week, I will drive lawfully on the road.

I am planning to rent a car also. Can you tell me where you found such a great deal. 160 RMB per day is a good price.

Hi,

My name is Pat DeForno. My son Rich DeForno is working for Microsoft in Shanghai. I lost his business phone number. He is at: Microsoft Global Technical Engineering Center, Metro Tower 20th floor, 30 Tian Yao Qiao Lu, Shanghai PRC 200030, Desk 23.090. I typed this in once before, but I don't know if I lost it, as it disappeared from my screen. Would someone please be so kind to e-mail me his number or the main number at Microsoft at the above address? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Hello,

I'm very interested in the position posted above. I tried emailing it a few times but it keeps coming back. I was wondering if the position was still open or if there might be another email address i could forward my resume too...

Thank you for your help...

I can't seem to send the emails through too. Is the advertisment and the email at comsphr@microsoft.com legitimate?

Posted by: Ls on January 20, 2005 2:35 AM

I am afraid the advertisement has expired.

Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on January 20, 2005 8:12 AM

Could you please comment on the interview process for a technical position within Microsoft? Is it much like the US where they ask very tricky tech/non-tech questions?

Thanks for you help...

I have an interview coming up with microsoft in shanghai. I heard they're very picky when it comes to selecting a candidate.

Do you know what kind of qualities or characteristics they look for in a new hire?

Thanks.

I happened to find this blog.It is very interesting and meaningful. Wang is an observant person and he pays more attention to the small things arround us. I am a Chinese and have the similar experiences as Wang,especially as people from outside Shanghai. They are true feelings in our mind.My English is poor, but I'd like to try. Could you help me? I saw a name of my friend on this page---Jeffrey Kang. I am wondering if he is the friend out of relation for a long time. He studied in Ohio State University in 1999. Could you tell me his email or tell him my email? Thanks a lot! Best Regards!

Posted by: Ling on March 12, 2006 3:57 PM

Ling, thanks for the comment. I am afraid i won't tell anyone the poster's email address, although I fully believe that you really wanted to contact someone. Sorry for that, but it is a policy I followed.

Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on March 12, 2006 6:55 PM

Ni hao, Jiang Shuo... Could you help me, please. Half day I study chinense in Shanghai and another part of my time I thought to work or to have an internship here. But my searching was no result. So can you advise to me somethink. I'm bachelor in IT.
Thank you very much!

Tell your friend Danny Hu, for whom you are posting the Microsoft job for, that if he plans on making a verbal offer to someone, he better follow through. That's what happened to me, except he screwed me over by rescinding the offer and saying I was not qualified enough, when in fact I posses all of the posted qualifications on the job announcement plus more. Let that be a warning to all who apply for this job, that the guy who interviews you for this job may not keep his word.

This job posting should have been expired already, after posted for 4 years. I will update it a little bit so it does not mislead people.
