      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft in Apr 2013

      Interview

      The first step was a standard online upload of your cv/ cover letter and three questions on why you want to work at microsoft. The second was a logic test, this lasted roughly half an hour and was a sequence of logic shape tests, nothing too complicated. The third stage was a telephone interview that was scheduled to last 45 mins but only lasted 30, the questions were competency based. and consisted of sections about. Motivation, confidence, drive and emotional Intelligence. You are required to answer in the STAR format. Also they asked if I knew of any Microsoft products.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Can you explain a time when you had to pitch an idea to a manager when initially they were sceptical, explain how you won them round.
