I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Congratulations on your new job. Forget what happened in your previous role. Go there with a positive mindset because it’s a chance for you to start over. Listen more than you speak and ask lots of questions. Create a 30, 60, 90 day plan to get very well acclimated to your team, stakeholders, and processes. Build a better relationship with your boss, weekly touch points, and take initiatives when you settle.

Learn to say no and push back when necessary. You don’t want to get into a situation with your new boss if they try to pile everything only on you.
