Amanda's Feedback
Good job! You can give this answer more impact by talking about how you would fulfill Microsoft's mission in the role you're applying to. How would you help a company work more efficiently or competitively? How would you project business vitality? If possible, talk about a past experience where you were able to significantly improve a client's operations, reduce their costs, or work smarter. This helps the interviewer visualize your ability to put the Microsoft mission into action.
