Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the lack of recent updates on this blog.

As the Australian Academic year came to an end last November 2009, all 3 of your UWA MSPs have actually graduated!

Today is actually my first day in the office at Microsoft in Redmond, Washington as a Software Design Engineer (SDE)  working on Visual Studio Team System.

I wanted to say thanks, it’s been a great 2 years.

My How to get a Winter Internship has by far been the most popular post accounting for about 5% of all traffic to this blog ever.

New UWA MSPs should continue along with the other WA MSPs with this blog in the coming 2010 year and beyond.

Thanks again,

Luke
Former-UWA MSP, now Microsoft SDE

This is for Australian students and graduates.

It starts by simply sending in your Resume. Applications close by Feb 15th.

Just a reminder that the IEEE Networking Forum is coming up on Thursday 30th July 2009.

In this economy, you want to give yourself the maximum exposure to recruiting companies as possible. The IEEE Networking Forum gives you a chance to talk to future employers and also get valuable information.

Students from all four major universities in Perth will be attending.

Head to http://www.ieeenetworkingforum.org for more info.

Applications have opened again for Microsoft Internships for the engineering roles SDE and SDET.

As posted often on WA MSP, Microsoft Internships are an awesome way to get a headstart in your career, while learning a bunch and having heaps of fun.

A Real World Experience like No Other.  As an intern at Microsoft, you’ll have real responsibility, real work, and real opportunities to jumpstart your career. (You’ll get paid, too!) It’s an experience you’ll never find in a classroom. You’ll be given manageable assignments that you can complete while you’re here, and your efforts will likely take shape in Microsoft products—or be used by Microsoft teams—long after you return to school. And imagine millions of customers, not to mention your classmates, seeing your work! Some interns even parlay their experience into a job offer.

An Opportunity to Shine. Our interns make a real difference. Not by filing paperwork or running errands, but by developing real products. Here, you’ll run your own projects and put your skills to work. This is why our internship program is one of the most successful in the industry. You’ll learn more in 12 weeks than you would in a whole school year. It’s the kind of work that gets noticed by millions of people all over the world. Kind of redefines the whole concept of internships, don’t you think?

More information and full details can be downloaded at AU Internship 2009

If interested, please send your resume by July 22 to: ausrec@microsoft.com
