Maybe you aren’t interested in working in the US, or are ready to move to a fun new locale to try something new. Did you know that Microsoft has research and development centers in: Ireland (Dublin), UK (Reading and Cambridge), Germany (Aachen), Denmark (Vedbæk), Switzerland (Zurich), Egypt (Cairo), Israel (Haifa), China (Beijing and Shanghai) and India (Hyderabad and Bangalore)?  And, that's just a few of our dev centers across the globe.

Microsoft is hiring now for positions all around the world.  Your best bet is to check out our Global Careers site for information on available opportunities both in the US and abroad.  And before you apply, read up on hot new positions, get insider views on the locations, and meet some of our professionals who are happy to share their experiences by visiting the Microsoft International Tech Jobs blog. 

This blog is hosted by our wonderful Declan Fitzgerald, Lead Recruiter at Microsoft Ireland, who understands that sometimes job descriptions just don’t provide enough information…imagine that. Declan's blog provides some very frank and honest information, mostly from employee video interviews that explain what their jobs are, what their team is working on, and why they like working for Microsoft.

There’s also interviews from senior management explaining their team challenges and work philosophies.  In addition, you can view cultural videos (sometimes in many of the local languages) describing a variety of other topics, such as what training we offer employees at Microsoft, to how you should prepare your CV when sending your application. 

The blog is new and growing fast in terms of rich diverse content, so make sure you sign up to the RSS feeds for whatever subject catches your attention. I hope you enjoy the International Tech Jobs blog and don’t forget to leave Declan a comment!
