I have tried the following so far:
1. Sending resumes to Hiring Managers on LinkedIn, based on their post. Some were not a fit and some HMs just never replied back after sending them a resume.
2. Connected with peers who are happy to refer me for roles im interested in at Microsoft.
Had 2 referrals so far, havent heard back.
3. Cold called recruiters on LinkedIn, only 2 accepted my invitation so far. Nothing beyond that.

what would be a good strategy to get the first interview invite? targeting non-tech roles, MBA level

    OP
    The problem with this is that they are not comfortable with reaching out to HM - because they dont know them personally :(

  • Ask your friend at Microsoft to look up the HM and directly email them a referral. The internal referral system is sometimes a blackhole
