I submitted my resume both at a college career fair and online. When I got to was invited to the on-campus interview, they told me I would be applying for a position with MSIT. This took me aback at first, but the interviewer said I would be working as a developer, so I decided to continue with the interview process when they invited me to fly out for another round in Redmond.

The process of scheduling the interview was a bit difficult and I ended up going right in the middle of my semester final exams because they couldn't accommodate another time. That said, they were very attentive and detail-oriented when it came to scheduling drivers and hotels to make my trip as painless as possible.

The day of the interview I went with a group of other prospective interns to the campus recruiting building at Microsoft, where we got a brief introduction to the interview process and were then sent off to our first individual interviews. There were 4 interviews in total, with each interview clocking in around 45 minutes and involving a mix of interpersonal and technical questions. Interviewers drew on my resume to find starting points for the different technical questions, and though I often felt like I didn't quite reach some of the conclusions they were after, I had great conversations with the interviewers about the challenges involved in each one.

I received an offer two weeks later and accepted shortly thereafter.
