I got a job at Microsoft beta testing Project Gotham Racing 4.

Best job I've ever had, and it pays pretty damn well too.

/huzzah!

Just out of curiosity, what are the requirements like (if there are any)?

They're fairly minimal. I can get you in touch with a recruiter if you like. I would appreciate if you would note that I referred you to the job though, as I get a bonus for doing so.

Cool. I'm not 100% if I'd try to get a job like that (this was the end of my third year, so I really should be trying to get an internship in my intended career). On the other hand, I imagine this job might a temp position, is that right? How long are you signed up for, as it were? Or did they actually give you a job and not just a short-term gig?

Also, what's your commute to Redmond like? Car, bus? Short, lengthy? Do you have to get up really early to get there on time or anything crazy like that?

Contracts max out at 9 months with Microsoft, you could in theory get another contract somewhere else for 100 days - which is the microsoft required break period - and then go back to microsoft if they'll have you. I understand a great number of people are not hired back for a second contract ( ... )
