Very helpful information! Should one start attending career fairs in their freshman or sophomore years? Does research experience with a professor help?
I'm glad you found it helpful! Yeah definitely go to career fairs just to gain experience on how to talk to recruiters, but note that generally not much comes out of it for the large companies, but for smaller companies you might get an interview. When you get to Junior year though you might score interviews from any company. Research is really good for your resume, it's ranked more on the level of internship, so definitely put it on your resume and talk about it.
Hey! I applied to a new grad role 1-2 days after it opened for PM at Microsoft with a referral! do you have a good method of finding the recruiter for my specific region?? I don't really want to message random recruiters lol. Great video by the way!
Sadly I don't think there's any specific website that will list things like recruiter's emails for each region, I would say if there are any recent alums also doing PM at Microsoft you can maybe ask them if they know the recruiter they talked to and then you could probably find them on LinkedIn after that. Generally the recruiter for your region are the ones who show up to the career fairs at your university so if you ever attended career fairs and talked to Microsoft or know friends who have they might have received an email from the recruiter. Other than that I can't say I have any more ideas (close to career fair times if your university uses Handshake you can see the emails of those companies attending), but I'm sure with a referral you will probably hear back fairly soon. Good luck!
Thank you, this was super helpful and relatable!
