Includes resume tips as well.

MS College “Interviewing with us”: http://www.microsoft.com/college/int_second.mspx

While geared towards college candidates, valid for experienced candidates as well.

 

· Do some Google or MSN searches on your own to find additional information on interviewing at Microsoft.

· If you are a technical candidate, brush up on your core computer science knowledge—it will come up!

· Please, please, please, do your homework! One of the worst things you can say during a phone or in-person interview, “I haven’t really had the time to check out Office Live (or relevant product) yet.”
