# hey... want to come work at MSDN? Turns out we (MSDN) are looking for a few good testers to come and work with us in Redmond... if you are interested in a position, and the following job description (which you may have also seen on [Laura](https://blogs.msdn.com/lauraj/archive/2004/03/12/88709.aspx) or [Kent's](https://weblogs.asp.net/ksharkey/archive/2004/03/12/88788.aspx) blog...) is appealing, let us know via [this link](https://www.microsoft.com/careers/search/details.aspx?JobID=aacc453a-e5a2-48fe-b25b-d82ec1c8bd30). > _Are you ready to join an exciting team? MSDN is revolutionizing the way developers get the resources and information they need. MSDN Test is looking for an experienced SDE/T to help mentor and lead a team of testers responsible for delivering quality releases bringing MSDN forward as a .Net showcase.

A BA/BS degree in Computer Science or a related technical field is preferred. > > **Update:** Ok folks.... not to be too blunt here, but... **Emailing me directly, or posting comments, is not a good way to apply for this position.** In the post above, I mention that [this is the correct link](https://www.microsoft.com/careers/search/details.aspx?JobID=aacc453a-e5a2-48fe-b25b-d82ec1c8bd30)... so any other method just shows me you didn't bother to carefully read the post... and unless I've worked with you before (and had a good experience), I will not be forwarding your resume on just because you emailed it to me. Sorry for any confusion if that link wasn't clear in the first posting...
