not quite right

entry type: 
Last week I had the awesome opportunity to interview with a very cool team at Microsoft. We talked for hours about the technical challenges they are facing, trying to determine if my skill set would be a good fit for an open position on their team. I found out today that they felt I would be "an excellent test manager", but their position was more "hands on." I'm disappointed as I felt the "hands on" part of the job was particularly exciting - never could keep from coding - but I respect their decision. The staffing consultant for the team is going to pass my resume to other teams and I'll keep hunting for just the right fit!

David, I'm surprised they didn't bring you in for this position. What a bunch of knuckleheads. I'm sure you'll land in a good place, but it's disappointing that they haven't recognized how much you bring to the table. I'm praying for you and thinking of you. Soon we will celebrate your new job with a geeky trip to Fry's and a hearty Jimmy John's sammich!
