Student Hello. I'm a freshman student from Puerto Rico and I would like to participate in the summer explore internship from Microsoft.

A referral makes a difference in being accepted in the explore internship? I applied last year, but I wasn't accepted or have go to an interview.

Also, how was the experience? if someone have gone throught the internship.

I'm currently leraning c++ and javascript. Which programming languages I should learn?

I'm hoping I can get an asnwer.

Thanks,

You should look into your school's alumni network and see if there's anyone that works at Microsoft there and reach out to them!

This is a great idea, it was an alumnus who helped me when I was an applicant for my first job!

While a referral isn't necessary in landing the internship, I think it would be helpful because a lot of people are applying to big name companies like Microsoft. Is there anyone in your network that might be able to help you out with a referral this time around?

Referrals can definitely help. What have you been putting on your application? Having someone look it over may be helpful too.

Thank you all for answering! I will take on the advice. And no, I don't have a contact that works at microsoft.

I dont know why, but the app doesn't let me answer any comment, just let me post a new one.

I think it is because you probably have a student account? You can't respond back to comments or message is my understanding :)

Referrals are key to getting your foot in the door! The way you package yourself in your resume also helps!
