College girls beat Tsinghua University Zhejiang university students to break into Microsoft

Li Wenyi, software college student, Nanyang Institute of Technology, Henan ProvinceAt the end of the first-year college course, Microsoft was selected as one of the 30 interns in Microsoft China for training at the Microsoft helpdesk technical support training camp. Through her efforts, she eventually became one of the 30 interns who stayed at Microsoft's China headquarters. Among more than 90% of Microsoft employees who are master students, how did she succeed? At 7 o'clock on the evening of June July 27, the reporter gave an interview at the Sigma building in Zhichun Road, Beijing.

First door: successfully selected 50 members from Microsoft training camp

Li Wenyi was lucky to become an intern at Microsoft.

Microsoft's intern selection process is very strict. First, we should recommend and select the teachers and school leaders of the school, and then conduct Microsoft's written examination. The written examination should be divided into professional examination, response Q & A and English translation; step 3 is a telephone interview with Microsoft China in Beijing to test the professional knowledge and communication skills. Step 4 is to participate in the centralized training of Microsoft's headquarters in Beijing, and finally an interview with the headquarters in Beijing.

Li Wenyi, former vice president of the school Software Institute, had a very easy life because she was the director of the office of the school Software Institute. She organized and participated in many activities and won many honors. It is not difficult to obtain the recommendation. Microsoft's written examination and telephone interview were also very smooth.

In March last June, Li Wenyi successfully entered Microsoft's helpdesk technical support training camp in the suburbs of Beijing. A total of 50 students from hundreds of schools throughout the country participated. Many of them were famous universities, sophomores, and juniors. Of the 50 students, only Li Wenyi and her three students were junior students. During the training, we should not only learn professional knowledge, but also pay more attention to the cultivation of personal qualities, for example, how to face guest visits and how to organize simple reports. These are not taught in school. In terms of personal qualities, Li Wenyi thinks that he is not bad. In junior and senior high school, she has been an anchor of the school broadcasting station. In her senior high school, she also served as the minister of the school propaganda department and trained her ability to communicate with others.

Li Wenyi worked very hard. In the last group evaluation of the training, one of the sessions was lectures. She won the first place in the group where they were located.

Second door: Lucky to be one of 30 Microsoft interns

After the intensive training, Li Wenyi, like other trainees, stood on the selected starting line and only 30 people can enter Microsoft as interns.

However, during the training period, Li Wenyi did not attract special attention from Microsoft training instructors. Dramatic is that one of the departments really wants a female intern and chooses to pick them out. Only Li Wenyi is suitable. So they chose Li Wenyi and decided to give her two months of internship.

The teacher in charge of the training told her: "You have only two months of life at Microsoft. If you are not sure, the entrance to Microsoft will always be closed ."

Li Wenyi understands what the two-month life cycle means.

I went home to clean up my work and took the train for more than a decade to Beijing. Li Wenyi had no confidence in the train. When I first came to Beijing, I was not familiar with anyone around me. Can I adapt myself here?

When she first arrived at Microsoft, she did not understand anything. her one-year study at school could not be used at all in the company. "Working in the world's No. 1 software company, what I learned every moment is my valuable wealth and experience ." She thought so.

Her initial work began with labeling the optical cable. Microsoft's Environment gave her the motivation to actively learn. She would be able to go to the project six weeks later. Regarding this initial experience, Li Wenyi searched the reporter for her "intern Diary", one of which recorded her current situation and mood: "In my impression, microsoft is not so much a big company as a big family. I am a child who lives in Microsoft and grows up healthily and happily. When I first arrived at Microsoft, I was a real baby and did not know anything about my work. For Microsoft, I was as afraid of my father as I was when I was a child and worried that I would accidentally say something wrong or do something wrong, it seems timid. However, Microsoft made me feel the warmth and sureness of my family. I learned more and more about my work. As I grew up, I began to know our family members and started to feel something at work ."

Li Wenyi's efforts earned everyone's approval. Six weeks later, she began to be allowed to work in internal technical support.

Third door: approved by leaders during the two-month internship period

Manager Hu jungao, who once led her, said in an interview with reporters: "Li Wenyi is smart and flexible. She has two outstanding advantages. One is her cheerful personality, she is good at taking the initiative to do things and can quickly adapt to and work well in a relatively unfamiliar environment. The other is her sense of responsibility, and her work is quite reassuring."

However, Li Wenyi does not have much in mind. The two-month internship is approaching soon. Li Wenyi does not know whether his fate is to stay or leave.

"In the last few days, I packed up everything and prepared to bring things back to school immediately after the manager and supervisor talked to me ." Li Wenyi recalled the situation at that time.

However, two months later, the department manager and supervisor did not talk to her, and she could stay at Microsoft. This means she has a chance.

Soon another two months passed, and no one talked to her, so she settled down. She knew she was finally recognized.

Later, the department manager adjusted. When Jin Xuan, the new manager, immediately found jin manager and said to her, "You must find a way to keep Li Wenyi! She is a good girl !" Soon, her work was recognized by the manager Jin.

Fourth door: 3 out of 30 thousand

In February June this year, the company boss suddenly found her and asked her what salary requirements she had before the formal transfer. Li Wenyi felt a little abrupt about this question. She said she had no requirements but wanted to learn more at Microsoft. Fortunately, the boss raised her salary a lot from 1500 yuan during her internship.

Microsoft officially signed a half-year work contract with her. In fact, at the time of signing the contract, Li Wenyi was hesitant to stay at work or go back to school. She was a little confused. Manager Hu jungao said, "she asked me for advice at the time. I told her that there were many opportunities to work while going to school in Beijing, and I advised her to stay ."

Hu jungao said that there are 40 thousand software students and 30 thousand students studying Microsoft courses nationwide. Microsoft selected only 30 interns this time, only three people can stay at work at Microsoft. So we can see how strict Microsoft's requirements are. Many of the students standing at the same starting line as Li Wenyi are well-known universities such as Tsinghua University and Zhejiang University. When selecting interns, there was a student from Zhejiang University who was the chairman of the Student Union and was excellent in all aspects. However, during the interview, he was often outputted by the examiner.

Microsoft's selection system impressed Li Wenyi. Microsoft does not pay much attention to Diploma in terms of talent usage. In their opinion of employing people, talents are the talents that can be used and available.

The fifth door: integrating into the passionate life of Microsoft Culture

After becoming an employee of Microsoft, it does not mean to become a permanent employee of Microsoft. Microsoft employees are very mobile and often eliminated. Li Wenyi is undoubtedly always feeling pressure on his shoulders.

"At Microsoft, our employees have only six months of life. After the six-month contract is over, if the contract is outstanding, you can continue to stay for work. If the contract fails, you will leave immediately after it expires ." Li Wenyi said that although she now officially becomes a positive employee, it seems safe, but if she does not work hard, leaving is inevitable.

At 7 o'clock on the evening of June July 27, the work room on the sixth floor of Sigma building, Zhichun Road, Beijing had already been closed, but Li Wenyi's work was not over yet. She is sorting out the record summary of her day's work and preparing the work plan for the next day.

The house rented by Li Wenyi is very close to the unit and is only 5 minutes walk away. The company usually goes to work at nine o'clock A.M. every day and gets off work at five o'clock P.M., but it does not require punching in during the working hours. No one will check it out later in the morning. Li Wenyi said, in fact, the company's requirements for them are quite loose, they can freely go in and out during working hours, they can also go to the gym downstairs to exercise, or go to the sofa bar to relax. If you are hungry, you can go to the tea room to eat food, food and a variety of drinks. You can take whatever you want and drink for free ."

"The company tries its best to create a loose working environment for us, but none of our employees indulge themselves and everyone is conscious ." Li Wenyi said that the employees here have a high salary. They have cars and houses and are not short of money. "What is the purpose of a person's work when he reaches the level of no shortage of money ?" Li Wenyi's questioning reminds people of the famous saying of their boss Bill Gates: "I wake up every morning, I am very excited and excited to think of the great impact and changes that my work and technologies will bring to human life." This is exactly the core of Microsoft's corporate culture.

"My passionate life at Microsoft has just begun, and I still have a lot to do compared to other colleagues' work realm ." Li Wenyi said. (
