Calling out for Interns….

Are you a recent Grad with less than one years work experience?

The Intern Program is a 12-month program where we look to develop your skills and experience by getting you deeply involved in a specific business unit. At the end of the 12-month program, we do not guarantee full-time employment with Microsoft, although we do consider our Interns for any suitable opportunities that may arise.

Many of our Interns move into positions with Partners and Customers. This is a great way to broaden your overall industry experience and knowledge.

Good grades are important, but the most important talents we seek from our Intern applicants are genuine passion and curiosity about technology, creative thinking and the desire to work hard alongside some great minds in the industry.

Check out our web for other intern positions that we are recruiting and apply on-line or directly to gr8hire@microsoft.com.

    Is Microsoft east coast centric? Are they focused on the rest of Australia? What about Adelaide, Perth, Darwin?

    Hi Paul,

    Majority of Micorsoft employees are East coast based, we do have offices in Perth and Adalaide with 27 employees working in those branches. Most of our internships are offered in Sydney where we have 364 employees. As Microsoft gets bigger we hope to extend the intern program to the rest of Australia.

    Thanks, JJ
