Solicité el puesto a través de la escuela superior o la universidad. El proceso duró 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Microsoft (Redmond, WA) en ago 2007
Entrevista
Starts with meeting a recruiter at a campus job fair and having around 2 to 5 minutes to tell them about yourself and impress them. They might also ask you technical questions right there. I remember being asked "How would you test this pen for quality". If they like you, you get an email saying that you will be scheduled for an interview on campus. I waited about two weeks before my interview.
Interview day, I meet one of the team leads from Microsoft in a room for a 1 on 1 interview. Introduce myself, discuss resume, asks me about classes, then he asks me to solve 1 programming task. After that, he asks me to test the function I just wrote for quality.

First Round - Coding Test:
The first round was an online coding test with 3-4 problems. The questions focused on data structures and algorithms such as arrays, strings, and basic sorting. The environment was a standard online IDE, and I had to submit the code within the time limit.
2. Second Round - One-on-One Coding Interview:
This round was a live video interview with a Microsoft engineer. They gave me a coding problem on the spot, which involved solving a problem using arrays and hash maps. I was asked to explain my approach, write the code, and optimize it. The interviewer also asked follow-up questions to test my understanding.
