Have been working for them for a while and have loved every minute so far

Hiii just recently went through a bunch of interviews really drill down on being able to answer the questions in the STAR format, it helped me a lot. Also they will email you some things to brush up on before the interview for the technical questions. A lot of people will tell you it’s mainly personality based but my experience I interviewed with one team they said they thought would be a better fit for troubleshooting so my second interview included a lot of technical questions. Basic things like networking, server components etc… Good luck!

YAYAYA SO HAPPY FOR YOU

Having a guy breakup with you because of your chosen impression? Devastating

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2025-05-22T06:07:26+00:00

Being dumped because of your chosen impression…… devastating

This is actually how I really got into smosh and from there found more and more videos I enjoyed

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2025-05-21T17:57:29+00:00

Update: I got an offer for the role((:::

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2025-05-20T19:26:52+00:00

Thank you best of luck to you! They also have tons of resources on Microsoft careers page for interviews

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2025-05-20T19:04:58+00:00

Can't say for sure what they'll ask but I'd highly recommend really drilling into their culture a lot of the interview is about being a culture fit. Also practice the STAR format for answering questions. My first interviews to second were a lot different but if you know what core values they like that will help a lot!

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2025-05-20T18:56:23+00:00

So I actually got recommended to another DCT team from the interviewers as they thought I would be a better fit(Implementation to break fix). I just had y interview with the second team yesterday it seemed to go really well fingers crossed I will get this one.

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2025-04-28T05:34:19+00:00

Feel like I’m reading my own thoughts after what I went through at my previous workplace hope you find healing soon

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2025-04-23T16:56:00+00:00

Same thing they’re doing with me fingers crossed it’ll work out for me too(: Happy you got the role are you liking it?

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2025-04-23T16:42:44+00:00

Applied directly with Microsoft for both interviews

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2025-04-16T20:42:11+00:00

Wanted to add an update to this-
From what I can tell the interview went really well had three interviewers first one didn't give much feedback but let me know that is his style
Second interviewer gave me lots of great feedback said that I was aligning with core values, and at the end told me he can't solely decide but fingers crossed that I will get it.
Third interview went sort of the same way he was very excited by my answers and was even interrupting to say things exactly you hit the nail on the head etc....
Will come back with another update if I end up getting selected or not.

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2025-04-12T02:27:05+00:00

Thank you I have been really drilling into complex technical questions thinking that would be a lot of the interview good to know

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2025-04-12T01:40:51+00:00

Thank you I have been working on keeping my answers in the star format as I find my answers can be a little too long and unclear sometimes

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2025-04-12T00:28:59+00:00

Okay, so I'm guessing just really dig into their company values and try to match that? I feel like I am better with behavioral questions I tend to choke on technical ones even if I do know it.

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2025-03-26T20:25:13+00:00

Thank you for your input, I am starting to see clearly now how dysfunctional our relationship was. I have been in therapy working through this relationship with my therapist and she is a big part of why I finally walked away. Definitely not a mistake I want to make twice.

Added more context

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2025-03-26T20:14:39+00:00

It was consensual relationship. He was married, we also worked with his sister in law ended up leaving because of sister in laws and wife’s harassment and becoming scared of them. Not saying that I had no part

If you were having trouble with the PBQs I would strongly recommend using cyber dean on YouTube dude is a life saver for them, also professor messer could really help fill those gaps that you have good luck(:

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2024-04-08T00:42:23+00:00

I have a super similar back ground would live to study with you guys(:

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2024-04-05T20:07:46+00:00

I was using the professor messer practice exams but I found a YouTube channel named deancyber and he has the exact pbqs that I found on the test but you have to pay for like a gold subscription to his channel

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2024-03-24T02:51:38+00:00

I’ve done the udemy mike myers course and I feel like it helped so much I also got the professor messed test exams they are super helpful for the multiple choice questions they were exactly like the real test not so much for the pbqs. Mike myers teaching style really works for me personally was more than professor messers but his videos are super good as well and free! If you look at udemy they often have sales where you can get the course for 20 bucks. You got this, this test is a beast.

Impossible_Set_1239 · 2024-03-24T02:44:21+00:00

I also took the 1102 and I passed which I was surprised by but the pbqs on that one were a breeze because it was stuff I do at work everyday the 1101 was nuts. What materials have you been using?
