Microsoft offered me a job
 

im 14 yrs old lol

They wanted me to come in and set up some linux boxes

I dont know much about linux yet but the job should still be open

I was offered it to me and my "chums" dont have any at skool who are interested in linux

Is msft getting desperate or what?

wow
 

wow, i wish microsoft would offer me a job. Heck, id even spend the time elarnign to setup linux...

My IP Address is 01001000101

I live in Atlanta and use Cox High Speed Internet, so it shouldn't be to hard to try to do a geographic IP location search if you live near me and want to find me. Yea I live in GA, how did you guess? Hmm really not even close!

im 13
 

im trying to get a+ certifies any helpfull hits how to learn fast

wow this thread is awesome...

Hahaha, I agree.

I'm too.
 

Wow, You are 14 years and got job. I'm too going for A+ certification.

A+ is my only cert

im 14, im learning linux, i can program HTML, CSS, PHP, some J script, i have my own eather net network, i MADE my schools web site...

How come microsoft isent knocking on my door!!!!!

:mercy: :wavey: :banghead: :sob:

because you can't spell ethernet...

jason, leave em alone

smart kid, cause M$ would be more intreasted if you knew ASP or .net, microsoft dosen't care much for PHP. I know PHP, some linux

I know heavily CSS, HTML, Javascript, and especially PHP (I would be considered a guru in PHP). I've made several websites, and made some hefty additions to this one. In addition, I know how to build, repair, troubleshoot, hardware, software, and a multitude of other things. No job offers at all.

What have you planned for next?
 

What type of job you are doing. I got Technical associate job after doing A+, now i'm moving to microsoft to want to earn more. What currently you are doing as you are too little to think about that. Ok. congrats, my advice to go for other comptia certs also. At least for network+.

Well finally companies look at the thing people can do instead of the age. I have worked with a lot of 13+ kids, not because their age, but because what they know! I know alot who wouldn't hire them, because they are to young.

If you are young, and you know alot, just make sure you sound grown up, so people will actually hire you! ( a free tip :) )

Im now 17, unemployed and only a bit wiser, not very much more techie :-P

Yeah microsoft is going to be looking for people with experience with their products and servers. That means microsoft servers, IIS, Outlook and the rest. As mentioned above also need to know .ASP.

Finally, Microsoft does not offer jobs to 14 year old kids.

One of his parents works for MS... so it's possible that they did to him.

I think that's crazy. Microsoft knows better than to give a 14 year old a job... or do they?

or maybe they're smart enough to?

Not likely though. There are all kinds of legal issues involved with that, and I doubt a company like Microsoft is hiring 14 year old kids.

I just don't see it. Maybe his parents gave him a project and paid him for it, but being hired on as a full-time employee is just not likely, even if your dad were Bill Gates.
