Today I finished my master’s program at university and graduated! So now I can call myself Master of Science. The rest of the week is reserved for party!

Currently I am a little bit short on time because I have to prepare for my final exam (Master’s degree) and I am preparing for quite difficult courses. My thesis presentation about my stress analysis software is the easiest thing. The topics about wireless sensor networks and advanced data engineering (data mining, genetic algorithms,…) are a bit tricky, but I’ll be well prepared – hopefully.

This week I got the date for my interview with Amazon.com, it’s on July 13 and I’ll go to the U.S. on July 11. Pictures and a report will follow when I get back until then there will be no post.

So check my blog on the July 16 for my trip report and the result of my final exam!

After a relaxing weekend in a local spa, I post the video of my TV interview @ ServusTV as I promised last week. If your able to understand German oder just want to see me check out: http://www.servustv.com/cs/Satellite/Article/gut-leben–011259275657193 (time index 32:30).

Comments are welcome.

Award done…stress reduced. Today I received pictures and video of the Microsoft Innovation Award 2010 and I wanted to share them. If you want to read more about the award just follow this link (German): http://www.innovationaward.at

As I graduate from university in July 2010, I’m writing application to my favorite companies. Currently I applied for Microsoft jobs (especially Windows Azure, Codename ‘Dallas’), at Google and Amazon. My application for the graduate program at Lionhead was not successful, but the application process showed me what is expected. I really liked the fact that Lionhead gives feedback – thanks to Helen – and tells you what went wrong…

But there are somethings I really cannot understand, especially when looking at the graduate recruiting at Microsoft Ireland. I got into stage 2 and information about stage 3 (telephone interview, coding tests) but they never told me that I’m either successful or not. After today short internet overview (some tweets, blogs and so on) I realized that I’m following the MSIrish recruiting tweet and found that tweet:

Miss the deadline for our Technical Graduate Programme? We’re accepting additional applicants now at gradjobs@microsoft.com1:53 AM Apr 26th via TweetDeck

It’s interesting to see such things and even not to get any feedback on your application. I can deal with it, so I’ve got a Microsoft Surface project till I know something about my current applications. More about that later, when I have some information.

Stay tuned.
