Short post here as Gret and I are nevertheless working on our "day jobs" :-) Hopefully this tip will help us out,
Office 2010 Professional! We regularly advocate submitting your resume to www.microsoft.com/careers as the best way to indicate your interest in positions at Microsoft. Gretchen also penned a great publish on the journey of your resume once you go through the submission process. Once your resume is submitted to our database we are able to search for you for specific position to which you applied or positions that may be a match based on your skills. There are a couple of tips to help make this process easier as you are submitting your information online. This will also ensure that we know how to find you based on the search fields in our system and then of course contact you. As Gretchen points out there are two ways to submit your resume. You can either Copy & Paste or use the Resume Builder option. In both cases there are steps that ask you to fill out information in relation to contact details, most recent employer, education etc. I know some folks tend to skip these fields since they are already listed on their resumes. However, I would encourage you to fill out as many of these fields as applicable and/or appropriate. Why? The way search is set up in our system certain information is only searchable by the recruiter if you enter in the information online. For example,
Microsoft Office 2007 Pro Plus, if I want to search for people that were most recently employed by XPZ,
Windows 7 Code, Inc. (not a real company with C++, Networking and VoIP skills I enter the skills into a key word search and the company name in separate areas. If you haven't entered that you work at XPZ,
Windows 7 Professional Product Key, Inc. online then you won't come up in my search. Filling out this information can initially be time consuming I know, but if you put in the effort now it can only help you in the future. Thanks for helping me help you,
