Curt, I've sent my resume to the recruiter and we are in communication 
since thursday. I'm talking now to the visa department of Volt now. I 
needed these 4 days to make up my mind about moving to the US, now that 
it's done, I need to solve some doubts about this position. Feel free to 
redirect me to anyone if I'm asking the wrong person :)

These are technical questions, but I'd also like to ask personal 
questions, such as where to live (near the campus), how's the 
transportation in Redmond, and some other things that I don't know whom 
I should talk to. Could you point me someone?

First of all, I'm being contacted by VOLT people, not Microsoft. That's 
making me a little unconfortable since I don't know yet who am I signing 
a contract with, Microsoft or Volt?

Where exactly would I be working ? Is it in the Microsoft Corporate 
Campus at Redmond? If not, where would it be?

As for the term "contract position at Microsoft" does it mean a 
temporary job? If so how long is the contract term?

As for the game Mythica, when is the expected release date for it?

What's the contractor policy about the use of their workers? Are they 
used in more than one project at a time? Or are they locked into a 
project until it's done ?

What would be the expected date (of the developers) for this job start 
being done? Is it being done by someone already who needs extra help? Or 
isn't it bein done at all?

Thank you very much Curt !
