Microsoft UK Get On Team – Visit to White Hart Lane
Being a massive Tottenham fan I couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to go with the Get On team to the Opening Doors event at White Hart Lane last week. The event is hosted by Silver Skills and is designed to inform students of work opportunities and to contribute towards a solution to the youth [...]
IMOGEN WARE, Internal Communications (SMS&P)
When I think back to applying for internships, I never expected to achieve a position at Microsoft. I’m not at all technical, I knew nothing about computers, and in fact a few friends even laughed when I told them I’d applied! And like many, my knowledge of Microsoft was limited to Windows, Office, Xbox and [...]

HELENA WILTON, Account Executive MACH
My Background Hey everyone! So a bit about me: I’m originally from Bournemouth and graduated from Cardiff Uni this July where I studied Economics and Management, I absolutely loved Uni life, and after my 3 years were up I was gutted to leave, but somehow my new London life and Microsoft beats it in so [...]

I was given numerous opportunities to prove myself, managing projects that grew in terms of size and importance over the twelve month placement. It was an easy [...]
MITALI GOHEL, Partner Sales
I got lucky. There are very few internships in the world where you will get to work with creatively innovative people, using the most advanced technologies, and for a company which truly impacts the whole globe. Everything I have ever done at University and before has lead up to now, and this feeling of luck [...]
NINA ANCKAR, Corporate Affairs Intern
Hi there I’m Nina and I work in the Legal & Corporate Affairs (LCA) department as the Corporate Affairs intern. I’ve now lived in the UK for just over two years having moved from Helsinki (Finland) to Birmingham to study Business Management. It’s been a good two years in the UK but an ever more [...]
JESSICA LOVE, Internal Communications Manager
I must say it’s very surreal to think that I’ve been working at Microsoft for three months and it definitely doesn’t feel like that long. I could say that a life without Outlook and world without Windows 8 seems like a land lost forgotten, now that I’m (almost) fluent in the multitude of Microsoft acronyms [...]
ELLEN CATO, HR Operations Advisor
Hi everyone, I’m Ellen Cato! I’m currently an Intern at Microsoft, but first here’s a bit about me; I am currently undertaking my sandwich year from Aston University where I am studying for a Business & Management degree. I have a keen interest in art, photography and all things creative. I also love socializing with [...]
