Microsoft is hiring but they have slowed down drastically and there is no doubt about it.

If you have other information, please post! Did you get an offer from somewhere? Did your interview get canceled? This is all good information!

A friend of mine had a verbal offer from Microsoft and later they said the position in the team has been canceled and now they cannot help. This happened in Nov-Dec '08.

Greets, bad news today

I just joined this forum and see that it is very active and full of people with great ideas. It seems like you all support each other well here too. I am looking for advice as I got laid off from my job 3 months ago and it looks like the mortgage company is going to foreclose on my home.

Do any of you have any advice or are you in a similar position?

I know this is a bit off topic for this forum so maybe you can please join me at <a href=http://www.layoffrant.com><b>LayOffRant.com</b></a> and we can talk through what's going on with me and the economy in the USA.
