Getting Hired at Microsoft. March 6, 2015 by Matt Youngquist. This being said, however, let’s not pretend that the largest employers around town (Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing, Starbucks, etc.). While admittedly, a fair amount of the material compiled will be subjective in nature, and shouldn’t necessarily be taken at 100% face value, let’s give this idea a try — starting with Microsoft — and see what we can learn by comparing notes!

LinkedIn Tip: New Functionality, But New Limits. January 20, 2015 by Matt Youngquist. Given the breakneck pace at which LinkedIn tends to change things, I don’t always get around to writing a blog post about every minor adjustment they make to their interface, processes, or capabilities.
