Brent · Post by **Brent** » Fri Aug 17, 2001 6:46 pm

no joke

I got a call about doing Contract work with Microsoft for 6-12 months doing phone support for Windows XP

I have to go take a computer test on Wednesday at 9AM to test my NT and 2000 knowledge

Time to study up!

Wish me luck, I BADLY need this job, it's full time, and would pay prolly around $30K a year (but that's negotiable of course)

That would be sweet Brent. I would imagine having Microsoft on your resume would be a good thing. Good luck!

There's no doubt in my mind you'll do great on the tests, so I won't bother giving you a good luck wish

.

Just a note, observe if your sleep habits change when you get the job. I bet you won't be as tired as you've mentioned anymore.

But firsts things first, get that job damnit!

Good Luck? You don't need luck, you need that job! Have a Great Time! Don't forget all of us here though.
Oh yeah, and when your hired in, find out what all the secrecy is about with QMgr.EXE that they won't tell the end user about.
