Frequently Asked Questions

You will have enormous responsibility, project ownership, and impact during
this 5 week session. Take a tour of this FAQ to gain a better
understanding of what Explore Microsoft might be like for you.

How does this program differ from the Microsoft College Intern Program?

Explore Microsoft is not associated with the Microsoft College Intern
Program. Explore Microsoft is intended for students beginning their
academic studies and who want to learn more about careers in software
development through an experiential learning program.

What can I expect to do at Explore Microsoft?

Explore Microsoft will include classes to help you learn the basics of
programming and group project experience. The first two weeks will include
coding classes and exposure to each of our four core technical positions:
Program Manager, Software Design Engineer, Software Design Engineer in Test
and Software Test Engineer and the final three weeks your project group
will work together to complete a project for your product team.

Will I work in a number of groups during this experience, or focus on a
specific goal in one group?

We want you to become very involved with your group project, so we will
assign you to a specific product team while you are here. It is the best
way to make sure you have the opportunity to make a real contribution.
However, there will be plenty of opportunities to attend discussions about
different Microsoft technologies and to pick the brains of other employees
working around campus.

Where is Explore Microsoft offered?

Explore Microsoft is currently only offered at our Redmond, Washington,
campus. For more information on Redmond & the surrounding area please
visit http://www.microsoft.com/college/locations/redmond.asp


If I haven't declared a major, can I still apply?

Yes! We do not require that you be a computer science major in order to apply, however, we do require all candidates to have completed an Introduction to Computer Science (or equivalent course) and one semester of calculus (or equivalent). We're interested in individuals who have a demonstrated passion for technology and a desire to further explore the field of software development.

Below is the guide given by my professor who is in Silicon Valley~!
______________________________________________

Startup Students and Job Seekers.
You have asked me how to find jobs in startups. The following is exactly what you
need.
http://www.startuplynx.com/JobSearchHome.asp
TIPS:
1. Start by finding the companies that excite you.
2. Go the the Management page and use the Find search function to quickly scan for
any Cornell people.
3. Then send them your resume.

Summer Interns: Send your resume to the CEO (only) and offer to do all of these
jobs: (1) market research, (2) product plans, or (3) testing new products.

Graduating Students: Apply for your Dream Job to the CEO (only). Open your email
with "I think I can help you increase your company's unfair advantage."
===============
Silicon Valley is getting "frothy" once again, VCs are eager and hiring is heating
up. You have a fine opportunity to get summer work and permanently placed.

And tell your friends about NBA675, Internship in Silicon Valley, 2004.

Hi all,

Please feel free to contact me if you are looking for an internship in a group which does network software engineering at Intel Penang. I'm not sure if we have any openings currently but it's done on a rolling basis throughout the year so if there are any openings, at least you will be considered for it. :)

Check out from Silterra www.silterra.com



ONE of the first lessons many fresh graduates learn upon entering the employment market is the fact that there are more job seekers than jobs available.

In a highly competitive environment, any extra skills that a graduate possesses will give him an edge over the others. Realising the need to empower students with the necessary experience that will give them a boot-up in the field, Silterra Malaysia Sdn Bhd offers both undergraduate and postgraduate internships in the semiconductor industry.

As one of Malaysia's wafer foundry service providers, Silterra not only lets students work with advanced technology, but also conducts training, education and continuous learning for both staff and interns.

As a result of its good partnerships with local universities, Silterra offers students in engineering, physics and chemistry a chance to become interns for a period of two-and half to six months.
