Microsoft still hiring

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been hearing a lot of requests for developers lately. Seems as though despite what the media might be reporting, there are a lot of companies still hiring.

Case in point: Microsoft. Although they had to initiate some layoffs earlier this year, that hasn’t stopped them hiring in important areas. As The Standard reports, there are currently 466 job openings in Seattle alone. Interestingly there were numerous roles in Windows Mobile (34 by my count) and Live Search (31). This is good news since those two areas are particularly weak in the Microsoft stable.

Some roles however have been around for a while, like this one for a Programming Writer dating back to March last year.
