Dear JobsBlog:
I'm gearing up for an interview with Microsoft. I’m prepared for the technical questions, but want to know what non-technical "soft skills" I should focus on in my interview. Any suggestions? -Covering All My Bases
Dear Covering All My Bases:
In Part I of my answer, I explained The Three P’s of Microsoft: Passion,
Office 2007 Professional Plus Activation, Potential and People and I focused specifically on how to convey "Passion" during the hiring process. In Part II,
Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 Keygen, I discussed "Potential. Today, in my final part of this series, I will talk about "People."People
The hiring process is all about people. People make Microsoft a positive - and fun - place to work, learn,
Office 2007 Key, play and innovate. Candidates who accept an offer from Microsoft over competing companies often tell me that they chose Microsoft because of our employees. It is very common for someone to say, "It was the team of people I met during the interview process that impressed me and helped me to pick Microsoft."
Microsoft is full of very intelligent and motivated people. We consistently file the top number of new patents in the software industry, which is a direct reflection of the innovative people who work here. These are the people with whom you'll interview and with whom you'll need to connect on a personal and intellectual level. If you have some unique skills that they feel you will bring to the collective IQ, there's a good chance that you'll get a job offer. If you demonstrate intellectual horsepower during your conversations and you are perceived as a team player, you have the skills that we're looking for. Intellectual horsepower can be demonstrated in many ways from having an engaging conversation on a broad range of subjects to comfortably dealing with concepts and complexity to giving concrete examples of the work you've done which showcases your capacity to achieve. For example, if you've designed a solution, written a piece of code or tested an application on a regular basis, explain the direct results of your efforts (e.g. reduced downtime by 25%, increased uptime by 10%, boosted sales,

When smart, creative, passionate people get together, the results are astounding and the opportunities limitless. -Sandeep
