Year In Review
Katie Ball – Server Team Intern – Year in Review
With less than a few months to go, I can’t believe that this year is nearly over! Looking back over the year it’s really interesting to see what I’ve achieved so far and how much I still plan on achieving in the next few months. Since my last blog post I have hosted my four [...]
CONTENT TEAM, Last day of internship!
Hey there, James and Holly blogging here for the last time as our internship has sadly come to an end and if we don’t leave security will be escorting us out! We have been the content team for the blog this year and have managed all the posts that come to you each week. We [...]
JESS JOHNSON, UK Service Delivery
Hello again, It is sad to write that this will be my final blog as it is coming up to the end of my year with Microsoft. I am glad that my contract has been extended for an extra month; however this year has gone by so quickly. It will seem very strange that in [...]
OLIVIA ROCHE, Marketing
This time last year, all of the Interns we were about to take over from warned us how quickly this year would fly past. At that point, I made it my mission to pursue as many experiences as I could this year, and to make sure I could leave the Internship knowing I’d gained as [...]
ANDY COKER, Services
Hi everyone! Working for Microsoft this year has been an incredible experience. It’s felt like living a dream in many ways. The thought of clearing my desk and saying my goodbyes gives me a ‘last day of school’ feeling… *sniff* I’m one half of the Internal Communications team for the largest business group in the [...]
TONI-MARIE LOWNEY, Intern Awards
We held our annual Intern end of year event for the FY12 Interns on Thursday 14th July in TVP.

RORY OTTERBURN, Advertising and Online
What’s up placement pioneers and graduate schemers. This is my first ever blog written for the Be Your Future team. I’ve been asked to sum up how my year has been; what I’ve achieved, the experiences I’ve had and how I’ve grown as a person, however, the odds of you getting my exact role (even [...]
SIMON FROST, Developer Support Engineer
For the last few weeks I have been feeling that there is something sneaking up on me, something I couldn’t quite place. It was this week that it hit me, full force, without any warning – in a month and a bit, I will no longer be able to call myself a Microsoft Employee. My [...]
TOM DOWSE, Premier Field Engineering
Hi, I’m Tom and I work as an intern in Premier Field Engineering. My year has been excellent here at Microsoft and I’m really glad that I applied, especially as my job was relevant to my degree and has really helped shape my career ambitions for the future. Right from the start I was blown away by [...]
“Hello, Alex Olivier, Microsoft, how can I help?”
Although I find it hard to believe, I am now coming into the last 4 weeks of my year here at Microsoft. This year has absolutely flown by, and I am not looking forward to my last day here at all, I have had such a good 12 months! Looking back to my first post [...]
