The interview process was pretty intense. Make sure you really know your stuff for what they're looking for. My interview was about 2 hours long and totally technical. Just be honest and confident when you answer. You'll need to know about things like Hyper-V, server management, project management, SPCC, Windows server management, and printers.

When you go to ask about the GA application process, you'll find no one to tell you about job openings. If you're lucky, you might get to apply for 1 or 2 positions. Most applications aren't reviewed properly; jobs go to those with recommendations. If there are few applicants with strong recommendations, they get an interview. How they select people is still a mystery, like a lucky draw.
