Experiences at Microsoft

We were working on next generation computers and multimedia devices. Some of the things that we designed over 10 year ago are now begining to done by other companies.

I think that confidence on yourself and excitament about technology. Microsoft seems to hire bright very motivated people.

1. Work with smart people. There a lot of them, at every level.
2. Lot of projects and lot of opportunities to learn on the job.
3. Very international by nature. People coming from around the world!

The secret to getting hired at Microsoft is being able to think on your feet, being smart and capable, having potential to learn and push yourself toward your goals and being able to work well with other people from around the world.....all while keeping the customer in mind first. All of the skills you have in computer science and management, etc will help you do well when programming or managing,vbut really the best thing to know about the interview process and keeping a job (I was there for about a decade) is that you can always do better; if you don't know the answer, say that you don't know and go find out for yourself - show motivation and drive. Respect your teammates and challenge yourself and your employees and your managers to always do better....

Be prepared.
Practice your coding - do *not* show up rusty for a development interview.
Be prepared.
Relax, be honest, and be yourself.
Be prepared.
Get a good nights sleep.
Be prepared.

I went to a Countrywide sponsored school that taught me what I needed to know about supporting Microsoft operating systems. I learned shills for MCSE, MCDBA, MCSA, and MCT. I chose the MCSE track and completed 4 of the 7 tests before deciding to explore data center achitecture.

Persistence, and or to contract. The HR staff at MS is so bombarded with resumes, that it takes a while for folks to get back to you.. at least that was my experience.

Contracting at Microsoft, is a fast track in the front door, however, does not guarantee full time employment.
