I had been to 2 msft hiring events abt a couple of months apart and the first time was almost an offer and the second time all 4 rounds was a NO and of course no offer. Following which I was dejected and did pretty poor on a phone screen with a diff grp a month later. All 3 calls were thru LinkedIn and by recruiters. I haven't seen any more calls frm msft for the last 6 mons. Now where do I stand in terms of future invites for hiring events or a loop interview? Should I pursue through a referral or keep trying or wait after a yr? Thoughts?
I need to work a bit more for my exp. Abt 10+ yrs!
Which role did u interview for ??
Software engg role
Might be due to your lack of attention to detail.
Keep applying till you get one, they dont do any record keeping like what you are thinking
Thanks. There were a bunch of calls in a span of 2 mons (frankly I wasn't prepared then) and then silence for 6 mons made me worried. Will apply actively now in their portal..
I can vouch what @Arapaho has mentioned. I'm still receiving the event invites on same email I used at the time of offer. Two cents, avoid the same group!
Where are these hiring events located, and how do you get info on them?
How do u get info on the hiring event ? Is there some mailing list ?
Mostly the recruiter will reach out via LinkedIn profile with information on an event in your area
Which area did u get invites for
Wait for 12 months. What did you learn from not getting hired?
