time to update the resume again?

  • Comments 5

The various Apple pundits out there seem to want to make sure that I keep my resume up-to-the-millisecond. The latest pundit is Todd Russell. To get around that pesky five-year commitment that we publicly made at Macworld, Todd's conspiracy theory is that we're gonna disband MacBU and just port WinOffice.

This, of course, isn't the first time in my six months with the MacBU that I've been that I should have a good relationship with a headhunter. Just before MWSF 2006, Jason O'Grady told me to update my resume. (Of course, he didn't have anything to say after it turned out that I wasn't unemployed after MWSF.) I doubt it'll be the last time that I hear it. I just find it amusing.

Anyway, I'm confident that my job isn't going to disappear. We're hard at work on the next version of Office, not to mention the work we're already doing on the subsequent versions. If you want to join us, we've got some open positions listed over at Microsoft Careers -- just select 'Mac Office' from the products list and you'll find open positions for development, test, program management, and planning/marketing.

  • After reading his article, it seems obvious that Mr. Russell would have little to put in his resume.
  • Someone who thinks Microsoft is going to port the entire Office codebase to WPF/E so it can run on a Mac needs to quit huffing glue while pretending he knows anything about software development.
  • It's encouraging to see that you're hiring in the MacBU as well.  I just wish that they weren't all west coast positions.
  • That's because we only have West Coast positions.  About 100 of the team is currently located in Redmond, WA, and the rest of us (myself included) are in Mountain View, CA.  

    Actually, that's not entirely true.  We do have a small handful of experienced employees who telecommute from their homes elsewhere.  This is, as I understand it, a relatively new development, and is available for experienced employees with their manager's approval.  
  • Heh...you guys need to relo to where the ground doesn't move
