微软(Microsoft)是一家巨大的公司，在地球上几乎所有地方都设有办事处。因此，他们的要求是巨大的。这意味着“许多”职位空缺和您为微软工作的机会——(Microsoft –)也就是说，如果您申请并被选中。这就是我们将在这篇文章中讨论的内容——如何在Microsoft找到工作，或者更确切地说，如何增加为Microsoft工作的机会。
如何在微软找到工作
当我们谈论大量空缺时，我们的意思是有很多——但分散在全球各地。此外，据说微软(Microsoft)的面试过程是最艰难的。除非你很幸运，否则随机申请是行不通的。该帖子继续解释如何申请等，同时为您提供如何获得幸运的提示！
在 Microsoft 招聘 - 开始
开始寻找工作以加入Microsoft(Microsoft)的最佳地点是其Microsoft Careers网站。该网站除了提供有关工作的详细信息外，还为您提供其他信息，例如人们在Microsoft的工作方式、有关业务和类似内容的信息。
您可以直接前往选项卡 -立即申请(Apply Now) - 并搜索您正在寻找的工作类型。我个人认为这是您在网站上应该采取的最后一步。首先(First)，花点时间阅读有关Microsoft 的业务(business at Microsoft)。在Microsoft的职业网站上，转到第二个选项卡/链接，上面写着Meet Microsoft。此选项卡下的第一个链接是Microsoft(Microsoft)福利的抽象视图。如果您已经是Microsoft(Microsoft)的粉丝并且清楚地表明您希望为Microsoft工作，那么这并不重要。
第二个和第三个标签——即我们的业务(Our Business)和我们的办公地点(Our Office Locations)——是必读的。Microsoft Careers网站上的我们的业务页面向您介绍了您可以在Microsoft找到的各种业务。作为局外人，我们大多数人都知道微软(Microsoft)只是一家软件公司。我们的业务页面显示了所有流程和子流程在Microsoft发生的方式和内容。了解存在哪些流程将帮助您在使用该网站上的“立即申请”选项卡查找工作时决定去哪里。(Apply Now)例如，下表是该页面的屏幕截图，仅向您展示了Microsoft的众多流程中的一部分(Microsoft). 您可以查看它们并决定是否希望进入研究、希望成为编码员或参与Microsoft的营销。
检查办公地点
浏览我们的办公地点(Our Office Locations)将帮助您了解您可以在哪里工作。当然，您梦想的工作可能不可能在您选择的地点获得。你将不得不做出妥协。如果您希望为Microsoft(Microsoft)工作，您将需要根据地点重新考虑您的决定。在考虑地点时，您甚至可能想计算经常回家探望家人的费用。除其他因素外，您还应该检查适应不同地点的文化的难易程度——尤其是您想要的地点。
我们的业务和我们的业务地点(Our Business and Our Business Locations)为您提供了大量信息，以创建包含三个或四个角色和地点的列表。因此(Hence)，我建议在立即申请之前阅读它。

在 Microsoft 中搜索工作
一旦您清楚了可用的角色和位置，请移至“ Find Your Fit”选项卡。此选项卡有两个链接：专业和技术(Technologies)。职业(Profession)链接可让您根据您希望在Microsoft的职业生涯中扮演的角色类型来探索职位空缺。技术(Technologies)链接可帮助您根据您希望从事的所有技术找到工作。下面的屏幕截图显示了Microsoft(Microsoft)当前可用的所有技术。您可以单击左侧的技术并在右侧获取详细信息。
同样，当您单击Roles时，您会得到一个角色列表，例如 – Administration、Customer Support、Finance、Marketing等。单击一个角色将概述您必须处理该角色的主要职责。

准备在微软申请(Microsoft)工作(Job)
使用Find Your Fit可以让您了解如何撰写简历和求职信。对于页面上的两个选项卡，记下与您在Microsoft(Microsoft)寻找的工作类型相关的关键字和关键短语。
在您的简历和求职信中使用(Use)这些关键字，以便在Microsoft 招聘人员(Microsoft Hiring Staff)使用这些关键字搜索数据库时轻松获得您的应用程序 - 例如“working in administration in the capacity of assistant manager…..Learned JAVA, C++ ”。
在上面的引号示例中，斜体字用作关键字。随意使用它们，但不要不必要地重复它们。请记住，只有当其中一名招聘人员使用“Hyderabad C++ 团队的助理经理”之类的短语进行搜索时，才会显示您的(Just)assistant manager for C++ team at Hyderabad。
在创建简历之前，我还建议您访问一些在Microsoft担任类似职位的人的LinkedIn个人资料。(LinkedIn)您可以使用LinkedIn搜索来查找此类个人资料。它们也将为您提供 1) 关键字和 2) 数据表示的想法。此外，请确保您拥有良好的 LinkedIn 个人资料(good LinkedIn profile)。
您的简历不必是您的生物数据。确保(Make)您包括您以前在技术和创造力方面的所有经验、您获得的奖项、您参与的项目以及您的兴趣。充分(Make)利用空白以避免简历看起来拥挤。
如果您即将从商学院(B-School)或任何MBA课程毕业， Microsoft似乎有一个完美的计划，称为Microsoft Academy of College Hires，可以让您加入。
提示：为不同的角色/技术(TIP:) 创建(Create)不同的简历。这将突出您对您感兴趣的角色或技术的经验，同时也让您的简历有更好的机会出现在申请人数据库搜索中。
作业后——瞄准射击
在寻找工作之前，您必须上传您的简历。您还可以使用简历生成器来创建您的简历。这取决于您 - 取决于您必须向招聘人员提供的所有信息。对于初学者，我建议使用 CV builder。您可以稍后通过登录Microsoft 招聘网站(Microsoft Careers Website)更改简历。
以上都做的很仔细，现在是申请工作的时候了。单击立即(Click)应用(Apply)并使用高级搜索(Advanced Search)选项将搜索范围缩小到您想要的范围。它看起来像我为您拍摄的屏幕截图。保存搜索，以便您只需单击搜索的名称并运行它，而不是再次选择所有选项。
提示：(TIP:)你对公司运作方式的研究越多，你被录用的机会就越大。准备面试时，你应该期待一些你不知道答案的问题。你需要说实话，而不是绕开问题。您还可以提出问题。为了表明您很热心，请提出与角色和职责相关的问题，而不仅仅是福利等。
如果您正在寻找Microsoft的工作，请查看Microsoft Careers网站(website)。该网站可让您搜索各个国家/地区的职位空缺，并且还设有针对学生和毕业生的特别版块。以下是一些更有用的链接：
- Microsoft Jobs Blog –(Microsoft Jobs Blog – Get)直接从招聘人员那里获得有关 Microsoft 招聘流程的内幕消息。

How to get a Job in Microsoft - Careers at Microsoft
Microsoft is a huge company with offices almost everywhere on the planet. Accordingly, their requirements are huge. That translates to “many” openings аnd a chance for you to work for Miсrosoft – that is if you apply and get selected. This is what we will talk in this poѕt – how to get a job in Microsoft оr rather, how to increase your сhances to work for Micrоsoft.
How To Get Job In Microsoft
When we talk about plenty of openings, we mean there are plenty – but scattered across the globe. Also, the interview process at Microsoft is said to be among the toughest ones. Applying at random won’t work unless you are pretty lucky. The post goes on to explain how to apply etc. while at the same time offering you tips on how to get lucky!
Hiring At Microsoft – Get Started
The best place to start your job hunt to land up with Microsoft is its Microsoft Careers website. The website, in addition to providing details about jobs, also provides you with additional information such as how people work at Microsoft, about the business and similar stuff.
You can head directly to the tab – Apply Now – and search for the job type you are looking for. I personally feel that this is the last step you should take when on the website. First of all, take some time out to read about business at Microsoft. When at the careers website of Microsoft, go to the second tab/link saying Meet Microsoft. The first link under this tab is an abstract view of perks at Microsoft. This is not much important if you are already a fan of Microsoft and have it clear in your mind that you wish to work for Microsoft.
The second and third tabs – namely Our Business and Our Office Locations – are a must-read. The page at Our Business at Microsoft Careers website tells you about the diversity of operations you can find at Microsoft. Being an outsider, most of us know that Microsoft is simply a software company. Our Business page shows how and what all processes and sub-processes happen at Microsoft. An understanding of what processes exist will help you decide where to head when locating a job using Apply Now tab on that website. For example, the table below is a screenshot of that page and shows you just some of the many processes at Microsoft. You can check them out and decide if you wish to get into research, wish to be a coder or involve yourself with marketing at Microsoft.
Check The Office Locations
Going through the Our Office Locations will help you get an idea of where you can work. Of course, it may not be possible that your dream job will definitely be available at your choice of location. You will have to make compromises. You will want to reconsider your decision based on locations if you wish to work for Microsoft. While considering locations, you might even want to calculate the expenses of visiting your family back at home frequently. Among other factors, you also should check how hard or easy it would be to adapt to the culture of different locations – especially, the location you want.
The Our Business and Our Business Locations give you plenty of information to create a list of three or four roles and locations as well. Hence I recommend it reading before moving to Apply Now.

Searching For Jobs in Microsoft
Once you are clear with roles and locations available for you, move to Find Your Fit tab. This tab has two links: Profession and Technologies. The Profession link lets you explore vacancies based on what type of role you want to play in your career with Microsoft. The Technologies link helps you find a job based on all technologies you wish to work on. The screenshot below shows what all technologies are available currently at Microsoft. You can click on technology towards the left and get details on the right.
Similarly, when you click on Roles, you get a list of roles such as – Administration, Customer Support, Finance, Marketing, etc. Clicking on a role will outline the major responsibilities that you will have to handle that role.

Getting Ready To Apply For Job At Microsoft
Using Find Your Fit gives you an idea of how to write your resume and cover letter. For both tabs on the page, note down the keywords and key phrases related to the type of job you are looking for at Microsoft.
Use those keywords in your resume and cover letter so that your application is easily available when Microsoft Hiring Staff searches the database using those keywords – like “working in administration in the capacity of assistant manager…..Learned JAVA, C++“.
In the above example in quotes, the words in italics work as keywords. Use them liberally but do not repeat them unnecessarily. Just keep in mind that they are required only for your resume to show up when one of the hiring staff searches with a phrase like “assistant manager for C++ team at Hyderabad“.
Before creating the resume, I also recommend you visit the LinkedIn profiles of some people working at Microsoft in similar roles. You can use LinkedIn search to find such profiles. They too will provide you with an idea of 1) keywords and 2) presentation of data. Also, make sure you have a good LinkedIn profile.
Your resume need not be your bio-data. Make sure you include all your previous experiences with technology and creativity, awards you won, projects you were involved in and your interests. Make good use of whitespace to avoid resumes looking congested.
If you are about to graduate from a B-School or any of the MBA programs out there Microsoft seems to have a perfect program called Microsoft Academy of College Hires to bring you on board.
TIP: Create different resumes for different roles/technologies. That will highlight your experience with the role or technology you are interested in while also giving your resume a better chance to show up in applicant database searches.
After Homework – Aim and Shoot
Before you search for jobs, you will have to upload your resume. You can also use the CV builder to create your resume. It is up to you – depending upon what all information you have to present to the hiring staff. For beginners, I would recommend using CV builder. You can later change the resume by logging into the Microsoft Careers Website.
All the above done carefully, now is the time to apply for jobs. Click on Apply Now and use the Advanced Search option to narrow down your search to what you want. It would look something like the screenshot I took for you. Save the search so that you can simply click the name of the search and run it instead of going through selecting all the options again.
TIP: The more you research how the company works, the better will be your chances to get hired. Preparing for the interview, you should be expecting questions that you won’t know the answer to. You need to tell the truth rather than beating around the question. You will also get to ask questions. To show that you are keen, ask questions related to the role and responsibilities instead of just perks, etc.
If you are looking for a job with Microsoft, then check out the Microsoft Careers website. The website lets you search for job openings country-wise and also has a special section for students & graduates. Here are some more useful links:
- Microsoft Jobs Blog – Get the inside scoop on Microsoft’s recruiting process straight from recruiters.
- Microsoft Careers on Facebook – Be a fan, stay in touch
- MicroSpotting.com – Follow Ariel as she creeps around Microsoft, finding people who are passionate about what they do. It’s like the paparazzi, but for geeks!
- ViewMyWorld.com – Peek into what it’s like to work at Microsoft.
- YouAtMicrosoft.com – Listen to employees who speak honestly and openly about diversity at Microsoft.
The above is just for information purposes and does not guarantee a job with Microsoft. It intends to guide you through the application process so that your chances of getting hired increase.
