Interview with Microsoft

You may have heard that Microsoft has had a hard interview in the past. Maybe you have never heard of a person appearing in various Microsoft departments for an interview at the same time. And I am such a person. Here, I am very grateful to chinansoft International and also to Shanghai micro-creative for providing me with so many opportunities that I will continue to summarize and improve during the interview. The following are some of my interview questions for your reference:

Summary:

1. Microsoft spoke highly of me throughout the interview, especially in terms of mentality and overall quality. In this year's employment pressure, Microsoft's threshold is getting higher and higher, and some jobs have even raised their academic qualifications to master's degree. During the interview, I found that technology is not the key to your success, but your experience. Your work experience is much more than that of Microsoft, however, they lack senior engineers. I think experience is more important to a graduating student than anything else!

2. English is very important. keep accumulating your vocabulary, be sure to understand the terminology, and understand the relevant English explanations, every person who works at Microsoft can speak English. During the interview, every interview manager will give you a few comments in English. Therefore, the addition of Fluent oral English and standard pronunciation will give you 70% confidence in the interview!

3. Pay attention to your algorithms. They can be said to be endless in Microsoft interviews. Some algorithms are not commonly used in actual development, but remember that this is an interview, not a job. Algorithms test your logical thinking and solutions.

4. Pay attention to your data structure. The most frequently asked questions during the interview are tree, graph, queue, heap, stack, and linked list.

5. Pay attention to the quality of your code writing. Microsoft interview Manager requires you to write code on site. The bugs in your code are clear. Code writing must be artistic and quality!

In the future, I will make up the phone interview questions, hoping to help you!
