I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dallas, TX) in June 2018
Interview
I applied through Microsoft Career Portal. There are many different support roles available and I applied to all of them that I thought my profile and competencies could meet. I received interviews for two different support roles. I got positive feedback from the hiring manager for the first interview but I didn't get the offer since it was finally given to the internal candidate. However, I got the offer for the second role.
