But, is it really worth making a blog that you got an interview though, through a hook-up at that? Not to mention you're given a leg-up since you have an MS employee to vouch for you lol. Seriously, I don't get the shock. I applied to MS online and they gave me an interview haha. Not knowing anyone, etc. IIRC, Microsoft was one of the companies that gave me an offer last year for an internship, but I went with Intel. I made the right decision. In any case, I wish you the best of luck with the interview. It's a combination of things that lead to getting a job offer, but one main factor is if you get a nice interviewer and easy technical questions, you're guaranteed a job. If you get a nazi, you can go beast mode on the interview and still get rejected. | ||

I like writing blogs about things that interest me that I think other people will enjoy reading, or that could help other people somehow. | ||

I like writing blogs about things that interest me that I think other people will enjoy reading, or that could help other people somehow. Yeah, don't mind me. I didn't mean to come across as raining on the party. Maybe it's that I've done so many interviews, that getting an interview is no big deal at all. I've never had one via some kind of contact and back story, so I guess it would be more special if I got an interview in that manner haha. At this point, it's hard for you to fuck up. A Microsoft employee got you an interview, and most likely is having something to do with the recruiters/interviewers. In other words, you're set, but make sure you really prepare (as I imagine you're doing). Don't believe me that you have some kind of leg-up? I can tell you a hundred stories. One set of stories comes from a professor at my school who personally knows recruiters from various companies, and tells the tutors who work for him to e-mail them and tell the recruiters he sent them. They're not only guaranteed an interview (unless their GPA is abysmal), they also get a HUGE leg-up over most other candidates since said professor vouches for them. Hell, to talk about extremes, the professor pretty much handed like 10 of them Facebook internships last year, since he is really close with people from FB apparently. You would have to fuck up really bad not to get an internship/job. But I don't want you to barely make it. I want you to blow them away. Good luck. | ||

Thanks a lot for the kind words man, I appreciate it. I'll be doing some followup blogs on how things go for sure! | ||
