Dear JobsBlog:,Office 2010 Professional Plus
I am interested in applying to Microsoft, but am worried that I'm not eligible due to the fact I have a degree from an via the internet university. I'd have liked to show up at a conventional university, but did not grow up with a large number of opportunities. Are degrees from accredited on the net universities accepted at Microsoft? If so, how can I showcase my abilities to Microsoft so that my resume is not eliminated within the very first round (when it will get when compared to other people who have attended colleges with fancier names but could have less actual programming expertise than me)?
- Confused On line GradDear On-line Grad:
A candidate’s education is a factor in our consideration, but it isn't the only criteria we value, so... please proceed! Beyond your “formal” education, we also look at any work or project experiences you’ve obtained (especially if those experiences further developed your leadership skills). Your resume is an opportunity to highlight your skills and accomplishments. Include anything that is relevant towards the position and that demonstrates your skills: Computer Science or otherwise. Don’t forget to incorporate unique or challenging projects and achievements that will catch our eye. At Microsoft, we need more than "graduates." We need persons who will make Microsoft better – so, show us how you’ve done that elsewhere. For me, proof that you have added some sort of value to your past company is the most important facet of a well-structured resume. Guarantee you really review the postion that you’re applying for and appropriately amplify the segments of your resume that relate to that interest. The last thing I require on a resume, no matter what school you went to – is a conspicuous absence of typos . Thanks for asking. I hope your search goes nicely here!
