Microsoft visited my university to advertise job positions. I applied on their website and had a phone interview scheduled within a couple of days. These are the questions I recall:

• What three qualities would you like an assistant to possess? Do you have those qualities?
• Think back about a time when you encountered a difficult problem at work and how you solved it.
• Why do you want to work at Microsoft?
• What level of the computing stack do you want to work at? (User Interface, Application level, or Driver-level)
• How would you test a keyboard?
• How do you go about learning a new programming language?

Behavioral question:

Think back to a time when you had a difficult problem at work and how you solved it.
