Microsoft HR Interview questions for SDET position

I got my first HR interview today with Microsoft for the SDET position and I am going to put a list of questions that were asked. I didnt got any search results for the HR interview question when I was preparing so I thought it will be helpful to put my experience here

1. Why do wanna go for SDET
2. What do you think went wrong when the last time MS interviewed you? or tell me something about your previous interview experience with MS
3. What was the most challenging project that you had either in you academics or in your internship
4. How will you design a alarm clock for a visually impaired person
5. How will you test a keyboard
6. How will you explain internet to kinder garden children
7. What are some products that you like of MS
8. Tell me something that you want to improve in these products that you like
9. If given an option which team would you like to join and why?
10. Do you have any questions for me?

My interview went on for an hr and I guess the above questions summarize my HR interview, I ll go through each of them in the next post

4 reasons why a college student must have a iphone

1. Stop scavenging on net for free music so that you can feed ur ipod, iphone app store has many free music apps such as imeem, yahoo music which can stream almost every type of music free of cost

2. I know its hard to maintain a car for a college student, so most of us travel in public transport. Use that time to surf on your iphone. Go on to digg, write notes on what are you going to do the whole day ,do almost everything

3. OK !! , so weekend trips and you have tried every thing from calling ur friends or ur parents for a GPS but everyone seems to have a reason not to give it you. Or some of us can even go to an extend where we go to the wallmart buy a cheap Tom Tom gps on friday and then return it on monday. Stop all of this!!!!
iphone comes with a inbuilt GPS which is as good as a Garmin NUVI.

4. I wont even go to the millions of applications that iPhone appstore boasts off. From games like Car racing to apps such as zippo lighter , you have almost everything to kill your time.

How to enter the values in textboxes continously without placing the mouse pointer

Below is the trick that does it
U have to fire the keyup press event so whenever the key is pressed, the event will be fired and the text box focus will be changed according to the maximum length of the textbox.

C# Code
if lets suppose u have to enter the SSN in the three text boxes
Enter the SSN : [123]-[23]-[1234]

private void textBox1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (textBox1.Text.Length == 3)
{
textBox2.Focus();

}
}

private void textBox2_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (textBox2.Text.Length == 2)
{
textBox3.Focus();
}
}

private void submit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(textBox1.Text + textBox2.Text + textBox3.Text);
}
