Memorial Day - an opportunity to give thanks
We will observe Memorial Day on May 30th this year. Though we have shared the story of this video before, but we'd like to take a minute to share the video again as we prepare to honor all those that served our country. Espcially to everyone in our Microsoft family - thank you!p>
Military veterans at Microsoft: We Still Serve
Transitioning from a military to private sector career can be a challenge. All too frequently, our military veterans and active reservists are unable to find positions that utilize their unique skills and experience.Everyone respects the service of military veterans and reservists, but Microsoft honors their contributions with more than just words. We expressly desire their skills, work ethic and experience. Through Microsoft's We Still Serve community, the company assists veterans and reservists to transition into a cutting-edge career in technology.
The entire process is guided by veterans already at Microsoft who understand the specific challenges of this type of career transition. See the new We Still Serve video below:
We Still Serve helps veterans transition into Microsoft
JobsBlog would like to wish everyone a happy Fourth of July weekend.
Let's take a moment to recognize that, for veterans of the US Armed Forces, the transition from military to civilian careers can be daunting.
Microsoft's We Still Serve community supports US Military Veterans and those still active in the National Guard and Reserve, in preparing for transition, or looking for their next corporate opportunities. Check out the recently relaunched site at westillserve.com
We have a group of volunteers that have a shared military experience who will be available to discuss what it’s like to work at Microsoft and to help veterans think through next steps toward applying for a job with us.
