QUESTION 28 OF 30

What are some of the types of development projects you have worked on in your past positions that may be similar to those here at Microsoft?

Organizations prefer to hire candidates who have direct experience with the type of work they do. A Microsoft interviewer will ask this question to determine if you've recently done the kind of work they want to hire you for. During an interview, all your answers should address the needs of the employer. It would be best to discover these during your pre-interview research about the company, its products, and practices. You can find the information you need in the job posting and on Microsoft's website.

"In my last two roles, I was focused on improving applications which manage transactions and interact with relational database systems. My role in the application development was developing all the code to control data queries, lookups, and indexing of the data. I worked with other programmers to design the interface, manage the backend database, and develop other application features. The companies I worked for were focused on e-commerce, conducting sales and other transactions via their websites."
