Windows 7 Activation blog priya-s-next-adventure-a

It's been a though since I've posted something. I've been fairly hectic with my new position. Sure, I have been meaning to post this for any even though. I recently altered my job and moved from my function as an Worldwide staffing advisor into an HR company companion position inside the Income, Marketing and Services group at Microsoft. People often talk about stretch assignments, opportunity to grow, and diverse experience - I've been lucky to get all this here at Microsoft. My career at Microsoft began with a campus interview and internship offer to join the human resource group at Microsoft. I found this place to be intense, the people to be fun and extremely smart, and immediately knew that this was the right place for me. So, after my internship ended, when they offered me a full time position, there was no doubt in my mind that I would join Microsoft. My first employment at Microsoft was that of an International staffing consultant where I had the opportunity to hire talent from the Middle East, South Africa, India and Pakistan. Every day on this profession was a learning experience, and gave me immense satisfaction on multiple fronts. The fact that we were bringing world class talent from around the globe to work here on global Microsoft products, and that I had an opportunity to make an impact by hiring those people, was a significant contribution in my mind. I got to travel many many places, and meet some amazing and very talented people. The most rewarding piece for me has been seeing some of the people we hired now in Redmond. Every time I go to a cafeteria for lunch, someone comes by to greet me and says, “Priya do you remember me, you interviewed me in Istanbul?”, and of course I do! After 10 international trips and more than a year in this career, it was time for me to move on and do some thing different, so I decided to support the Product sales, Marketing and Services team, as an HR Organization Companion. You may be wondering: what is an HR Small business partner? Well, it truly is what some companies call “HR Generalist”. However, here we work real close with businesses and clients to support them on business decisions and coach them on strategic initiatives apart from taking “care of the company and the employees” on all matters including benefits, compensation, career related, etc. With the staggering number of H1b visa applications this year and the whole lottery thing, our team has had its own challenges in hiring worldwide talent for Redmond-based positions. I know for some of you, the wait has been too long. I just want to tell you that we are watching and listening and working diligently to come up with solutions to ensure that we as a organization still continue to hire the best regardless of geographical boundaries. With this, I would like to introduce a new guest blogger to the blog..Anne Cheng. Anne has taken over my function and is an amazing person. She has a great background and a passion for international recruiting. Anne will keep you posted on what is happening with the Worldwide recruiting team, where are we going next, updates, etc. And of course, she will love to answer any questions and read your comments. She will be posting her intro very soon, so make sure you check back and read it,Windows 7 Activation! But wait, this is not my last post. I will still continue to blog and be here to listen to your feedback, comments and answer any questions you have. So, it truly is not yet “Adios” time. I would love to know what is on the mind of readers. What do you want to know? Let us know the topics that interest you, so that my blogs are less about me and more about my readers' choice. More later.. -Priya
