As you saw from the last post, Microsoft highly values hiring campus candidates. We also know there's a group of you who are "tweeners"- you're not technically a campus candidate (been out of school for more than one year) but you don't have a ton of experience yet to compete with some of the industry hot shots.

This year, we are trying to solve this problem and expand our efforts with the introduction of our "Campus Plus" program.  Jamie Morgan (a recruiter on my team) is starting the effort and I asked her to write a bit about it for all of you:

Campus Plus will target those of you who have been out of school 1-3 years and are ready to make an impact at Microsoft.  Did you go through the interview process after finishing school and think you had found the perfect job? Only to realize that while you're getting work experience, you're not getting the tools you need to grow your career?  We already have the tools in place to tell you how to grow your career and we will provide the training, mentoring and development to help you achieve your goals.  Through Campus Plus, we will offer structure and opportunity.  We will give you the training and career model you may have been promised at other companies, but are not receiving.

Do you want Jamie to get a sneak peak at your resume? Go ahead and send it to her at campplus@microsoft.com.
