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!

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.
