What can you do with a marketing or finance degree?

What is the best way for a new grad with a degree in finance and marketing to get a job at Microsoft?

  • I have internship experience at another major Seattle company, a solid GPA, and good recs, but I'm struggling to even get my foot in the door let alone get an interview. Please advise!

  • Answer:

    Maybe it's not you, maybe it's just us. Officially, Microsoft is in the middle of a re-organization, and the CEO has announced his retirement... Unofficially, one side-effect of those things is that hiring has slowed down. One of my co-workers said the words "hiring freeze" a few days ago, but he also backpedaled immediately, so I don't think we're supposed to use that term. I'm sure this is only temporary, but I have no idea what the timeline is. It might stay slow until after the new CEO comes on board and talks about what the company's priorities should be and how much to invest in what areas. In the meantime, the only real advice I have is to look for suitable openings here: http://careers.microsoft.com/
