Curious about co-op and new full time jobs at Microsoft?

The Microsoft Human Resources team has put together some webinars to help you understand some of the opportunities available!

Some of the more common questions I get when I am on campus and talking to students are around job opportunities. Microsoft Canada does hire co-op students and new graduates, but, Microsoft Canada does not have a lot of technical positions. The Gaming studios in British Columbia hire interns and graduates, but aside from that most of the technical positions are based out of Redmond, Washington. The good news is that many of these positions are filled by Canadian students! To find the list of current job opportunities from Microsoft corporate visit the student section of the careers website. If you are looking for Microsoft Canada intern opportunities check the Canadian Microsoft student jobs site.

Sometimes it’s hard to gauge what a job entails from a job posting, so the Microsoft HR team has put together a series of free webinars to help you find out more about the types of positions available. This a great chance to find out more about what it’s like to work at Microsoft.   Details on all the upcoming webinars can be found here. Times are probably PST.
