Job Location: Seattle, Washington
Employment Date: 12 week program, does not specify dates
Work Schedule: Not Specified
Salary: Competitive pay plus much more (read in the job description)
Job Description:
· Internships include: Software and Hardware Development, User Experience, Finance, Legal, Human Resources, Information Technology, and Marketing.
· A
real-world experience like no other. As an intern at Microsoft, you’ll
have real responsibility, real work, and real opportunities to jumpstart
your career. (You’ll get paid, too!) It’s an experience you’ll never
find in a classroom. You’ll be given manageable assignments that you can
complete while you’re here, and your efforts will likely take shape in
Microsoft products—or be used by Microsoft teams—long after you return
to school. You could help create a Web application, a marketing plan, a
prototype, a user guide—the possibilities are endless. And just imagine
millions of customers, not to mention your classmates, seeing your work!
Some interns even parlay their experience into a job offer.
· Intern Benefits
o An
internship with benefits? It’s true. At Microsoft, we treat our interns
like employees, so we want to help you be comfortable during your stay
with us. We’ll set you up in subsidized housing, pay for essentials like water and cable, and even pitch in for housecleaning.
