What do you want to know about career development?
As mentioned in previous blog posts, we’re working on a new Microsoft Careers site, and we’re looking for reader feedback to help make it the best it can be. We want to know what we can do to ease your online job search and how to best give you the information you want to know about working here.
Now that we’re developing the content for the site, we would like to hear your thoughts on our career development information. There are two types of suggestions we’re looking for:
1. If you don’t know much about Microsoft’s career development opportunities, what would you like to know? Would details on training and mentor programs get you going? Or would you rather hear employees talk about their personal growth at Microsoft? What kind of information would get you excited about working here?
2. If you’re already familiar with career development at Microsoft, what aspects do you think we should highlight? Is our three-way partnership plan a home run? Or do you think tuition reimbursement is our strong suit? What sets Microsoft’s career development apart from that of other companies?
Thank you in advance for offering your thoughts! Be on the lookout for more posts like this. We want you to be involved in this process, and we appreciate your comments!

I'll start things off ... :) Personally for me, I think Microsoft's career development offerings are unique because we have so many awesome, varied internal classes. I feel like I can get a masters degree by just walking down the street. I've also found that the support for learning while on the job has worked well for my career. I've been able to grow into a brand new career without ever having to change organizations.

Networking is the key to career development. If there's an area you want to get into, get to know someone in that area adn ask them everything. Microsoft is good for letting their employees spread their feelers and get to know people and different departments.

I would be very much interested in learning more about Microsoft's Mentorship program. Mentor-mentee relationships are vital to an organization's knowledge management as well as employees' career development yet appear to be underutilized in today's business setting. As a prospective MS Employee I would love to hear more about this program!

I am also agree with Tom & Lena that networking is the much important key to build your career as much as successful. Now a days if a job searching guys not even use networking for their job search so they can't find the best job.
