| Video Discription | I've worked at Microsoft for 13 years, with most of that time as a Program Manager, and I've both interviewed and conducted interviews throughout my years. I walk through what a typical interview day looks like, how many interviews you'll have, give some sample questions, walk through a good way to structure a response, and talk about how I assess a candidate. How I got my job at Microsoft: https://youtu.be/FvFpH4ZLda0 A good way to structure an interview question response using the STARS format: • Situation - What's the background? • Task - What were you responsible for? • Activity - What did you actually do? • Result - how did things turn out? • Self-aware - what would you have done differently? Competencies and sample interview questions: Communication • Tell me about the most challenging situation that you have experienced, when you had to persuade someone to accept your point-of-view. • Please describe a situation where you led a cross-functional task force or project team. • Please describe a situation where you needed to convince a teammates to adopt a plan, strategy, or point of view. Customer Empathy • Describe the strategies you have used to gather information that increased your understanding of current and future customer needs. • Describe a time when you were involved in the resolution of a complaint from either an internal or an external customer. • Describe the strategies you have used to gather information that increased your understanding of current and future customer needs. • Tell me about a time when you fell short of meeting a customer's needs.

Self-Criticalness • How would you have handled [the customer/the conflict/the delivery of the product or service] differently? • How would you evaluate your performance in that area? On that project? Design/UX instincts • Tell me about a product you like. Why do you like it? ○ What would you do to improve it? ○ You have 3 months to do it, what would you do first? ○ How would you measure the improvement? • Imagine you had to build an elevator system for a tall building. How would you go about doing it? ○ Imagine you have less time now. How would you evaluate what to change? ○ How do you measure the success/failure of your design? Dealing with ambiguity • Tell me about a time when you had to change your priorities in response to the demands of a changing situation. • Describe a time when you had to complete a project in which you were provided with very little information or guidance. • Describe a time when you proposed a major change in your work process or job duties. How did others respond to your proposal? • Tell me about a time when you had to change your priorities in response to the demands of a changing situation. Partnering / Conflict resolution • Describe a time when you worked on a challenging cross-functional team that produced an exceptional deliverable. • Describe how you have collaborated with others outside of your immediate team to resolve a critical issue. • Tell me about a time when you experienced conflict with a team member. • Tell me about a time when your attempt to collaborate across teams was unsuccessful. Drive for Results • Tell me about a time when you successfully removed an obstacle that interfered with your ability to complete a task effectively. • What has been the most difficult assignment or task in your career so far? Influencing for impact • Tell me about the most challenging situation that you have experienced, when you had to persuade someone to accept your point-of-view. • Describe a time when you had to persuade someone to complete a task, but had no formal authority over their work.
