Microsoft Project Manager Interview

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Mountain View, CA (took 3 days)

Initial contact came from a recruiter at a body shop (this was for a 6 month contract). "We found you on the web". Recruiter conducted a more thorough than usual phone screen, seemed to know her subject matter, and referred me to the hiring manager at Microsoft. The hiring manager called me the next day, but she was really sick - the interview lasted about 20 minutes. She was very friendly, the interview was pleasant, the questions fairly lowball. It quickly became apparent that they wanted in-depth technical experience that I did not have (this wasn't clear from the job description). The next day the recruiter called me and confirmed this.
