I made contact through a college fair.
After submitting my resume there, they reached out for a phone interview. The phone interview was relatively average.
Following the phone interview, I received an email stating I had passed the phone round. They invited me to visit Redmond, but unfortunately, no positions were available at that time. They suggested I could try again next year and bypass the phone round.
