You may also want to look into contract roles with Microsoft. It may not be idea to start however I can say for certain that they do prefer individuals who have experience with a lot of their applications such my order, employee central and headtrax. Contracting is a good way to learn their system and add Microsoft express to your resume to help you get an perm role with them.

Sometimes you will hear back pretty quickly. I’ve applied in the morning and had a phone screen scheduled by that afternoon. Sometimes it can take a while for example a recruiter reached out to me today for a role I applied for at the end of August. Next time you apply increase your chances of getting seen by getting a referral prior to applying. I applied to a few roles but got a referral for them after I had applied and I never got a response. Now I’m in the process of interviewing for two roles that I was referred for and then applied to. Hope that makes since.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
