I applied for the Software Engineer Internship around September 2017 and progressed to the first round, which consisted of a phone/video interview.

The recruiter asked me several questions:

• Why do you want to work for Microsoft?
• What projects have you recently worked on?
• What were your good and bad experiences while working on one of your projects?

Although I was prepared for all the questions and answered them correctly and relevantly, I was rejected due to the high volume of applications for the position.

In front of you are three boxes. One contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains a mix of apples and oranges. Each box is labeled:

Box 1: “apples” Box 2: “oranges” Box 3: “apples & oranges”

Question: You get to choose one, and only one, box. I will remove a randomly selected piece of fruit from your chosen box and show it to you (so you can tell if it’s an apple or an orange). After that, you will be able to accurately and definitively relabel all three boxes.
