They have many projects they work on ranging from real estate to green tech to sports and museums.
Michelle is in HR and makes many hiring decisions. One interesting thing she mentioned about hiring at Vulcan is that they do extensive background checks because Paul Allen is actively involved and they don't want any psychos getting near him.
Michelle gave us some good advice about interviewing. I'll list as much as I can remember:
1) Research the company
2) Know the company culture
3) Go into an interview with questions prepared
4) Overdress
5) Shake hands and smile
I also asked her a question I had about putting future experience on a resume. At the bottom of my resume I put "The next 6 months..." and listed skills and stuff that I would get during that time. She said that was fine and suggested I put it higher up on the resume depending on how much work experience I had.
