How to get ahead in Interviewing...

Many people ask us how to put your best foot forward when interviewing for a role in Microsoft.... there are many tricks of this trade, and some of the information that you need may differ depending on the role. However some of the key things to keep in mind are:
 
  •  You can NEVER prepare enough. So do your research, on the company, and if possible the team and the products.....scour the internet for any titbits that can really highlight your interest in this group/role/company
  • Preparing, should in turn, really help out with your nerves. Try to put aside your concerns, so you can portray yourself in a calm, confident manner. This is a great start to any discussion. However if you are still nervous, don't worry too much about it - a good interviewer will always try to put their candidate at ease
  • Prepare examples of where you have delivered on tasks, assignments and other areas of work, as we typically use competency based interviewing, focussing on your proven track record to date
  • Finally, be yourself. The more comfortable you are, the better a picture the hiring manager can get of your strengths (and weaknesses), making the interview memorable for all the right reasons. Who knows, it may not be the first job you interview for that you get, but another role that arises in the future.........so make that hour count!

Check out the below video clip to see how one of our groups in EDC typically hire for a Sofware Development Engineer (by the way we are looking for one at the moment, so if you are interested you can apply at the following link )

Best of luck!
