Shebeer - I do not work for Microsoft. But my advice will sound like it's from one of their recruiters. I have had a chance to interview at Microsoft for various positions. Unfortunately, I didn't impress them. No bone to pick here. I know they must pick the best of best. My advice to you is that do not tell the recruiters at Microsoft that the main reason why you want to work there is because "...I really love Microsoft since my childhood." We all want to work at Microsoft. And Microsoft also knows that most people want to work there. This is why they've such rigorous interviews so as to ensure whoever they pick will bring value to them. My friends tell me that Microsoft offers excellent benefits. It only makes sense that you prove to them that you are a change agent before they invest in you.
I'm sorry to tell you that it's not enough to say that your childhood dream has been to work for Microsoft. You must qualify this by stating clearly how the company will benefit from your presence there. You must tell the recruiters what you'll bring to the table if offered a job. If you can explain this as clearly as you can, you'll sure get a job at Microsoft.

I am now a quadriplegic, i use to work on my laptop using a stick on my mouth after some days my laptop got damaged, my new laptop was not recognizing old stick.
At this time as God's blessing windows speech recognition came to my life.Eventhough a small amount, am now earning something only because of this software...
I would be really happy and grateful if I can join the great creative minds behind windows speech recognition. Since I think this is really a worthy software both for abled
and differently abled ones.I have searched many jobs but they don't match my qualifications since my studies are not complete.
Anyway I have posted my resume and hoping good.
Thank you
Can anyone help me to join windows speech recognition team...!!!

The Solo is actually deemed the official PC gambling headset for MLG (Primary League Playing games). When it arrives to gaming when in front of a substantial, noisy market, you call for a headset they'll block surface noise��

I would have to disagree with the description form the TAM. They are not a trusted "business advisor" in any case. They rarely interact with the business outside of IT, of at all. They become a trusted technical advisor if they do their job well. The Account Technology Strategist is more of a trusted business to Technology advisor.

That is an interesting opinion of the TAM role Jason Ht. In my limited experience, it seems that you become trusted at the levels where you provide the most insight, or where your insight is the most valuable. I think one of the great things about working for a company like Microsoft is the freedom to grow and explore your capabilities. Good luck to all of the applicants, passion is everything.
