We were thrilled recently to attend a career event at a local college in Dublin. There has been an increased interest in Graduate roles in Microsoft this year which is great - and even as the tables were being set up there was a buzz in the air as the Computer Science soon-to-be graduates started strolling through the aisles. A handful of our more recent Graduate Hires gave students real life stories of starting their career and how it was going! Their demonstrations on the cool products they work on, relaxed work environment, and career mobility gave potential future hires even more insight in Microsoft as their first possible career move.

 

Our recruiting team has been busy for the last few months attending career events at colleges accross Europe. In fact, this was the last Graduate event for us before the end of our application deadline of December 5th.....but then that application is just the beginning......following that there is an on-line Technical apptitude test, followed by an assessment centre day and final round interviews here at the Dublin campus. For all who are applying stay tuned here over the coming weeks, for some further tips and tricks on how to navigate that process from some of our recent hires.....
