I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft in Nov 2012
Interview
I applied for a summer internship as a program manager at the on campus job fair. I got an on campus interview. About two weeks after this interview I got the good news that I had passed it and was moving on to interviewing at Seattle. They told me to expect an email soon. I received an email about coordinating the times. I sent a response. A week later the scheduler sends an email asking for a response. I told her I had responded and she replied saying she had found the email. Because of this the whole process got delayed and me and the scheduler kept going back and forth with available days until I get a surprise call from a Microsoft recruiter asking if I had any questions for my interview tomorrow. I was still in San Diego. I had not received anything about an interview date or confirming it. It ended up being their mistake and eventually the scheduler told me that the positions had been filled for that year and to try again next year. It was so disappointing because it was my third time interviewing with them and it was my first time I got invited up to Seattle and because of their mistake I didn't even get a chance to try.

Interview
Einer meiner Freunde übergab meinen Lebenslauf am letzten Tag seines eigenen Praktikums an seinen Arbeitgeber. 3 Wochen später wurde ich von einer Anwerberin von Microsoft kontaktiert. Sie verband mich mit einem Verantwortlichen für Microsoft-Vorstellungsgespräche und dieser fragte mich, wo ich denn am liebsten ein Praktikum machen würde. Dann sagte er mir, ich solle warten, bis ich von ihnen zum ersten Interview benachrichtigt werde. Eine Woche später erhielt ich eine Einladung zu einem Telefongespräch. Ich fragte, ob kein Videointerview möglich sei, doch sie antworteten, dass es dieses Mal nur Audio ohne gravierende Fragen sei. Es sei nur, um mich und meine Erfahrungen besser kennenzulernen. Ich bereite mich nun für das Gespräch vor.
