this situation happens a lot to me too. Applications got rejected, interviews failed and stuffs. Then months later the recruiters contacted again for a second chance. Theres a plethora of reasons to that but why should I care anyway lol.
goodluck bro

Wow, congrats Cecil. You'll surely nail it with your passion for programming. I'm a second year undergraduate studying CS and I've been looking for internships myself, but not to much luck yet.

Best of luck in your interview! This opportunity was bound to come your way sooner or later.

Microsoft Research do take interns! I don't know about the work environment as a standard MS intern, but as a MSR intern it is really great. Over the summer there are a *lot* of great scientist visiting MSR, so there are a lot of interesting seminars, the interns are pretty well cartered for (extra-work activities). I really enjoyed my experience there, good luck with your interview!

Oh wow, sick, what kind of preparing do you think you'll have to do? I'm studying CS at the moment and my friend who got a interview with google had to do this insane programming test/challenges WHILE answering your regular interview questions.

Though Kefka is kafkaesque in a way so kefkaesque isn't too far off the mark.

Congrats Cecil!

Truth.
You've been here in the dark for way too long, do you remember how it felt in the sunlight? You're still smiling through the pain you're hiding in, but everyone can see that something's just not right.

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.

Kids are told that they're lucky to have a job. Good luck with the interview OP and don't be star-struck or anything, this is business as usual.

Haha thanks for the advice It's a big deal to me as usually Sophomores don't have interviews at all, and the alternatives for spending my summer aren't as awesome as interning.

I'm not 100% sure, but according to my classmate who interned in MSR, the only criteria is that you have to be published in atleast one journal (or be in the process of publishing). Of course, the bar is much higher for a full-time job (they expect Ph.Ds), but for internships a publication should be sufficient.

Awesome man! Congratulations, sounds like you have a knack for programming (the ones who do it in their spare time are often the best programmers; you can't beat passion)

If you need help or have any questions, I'm a professional programmer. Gimme a PM if you need help on anything! Some links for you:
