By: Monique Douglas, Guest JobsBlogger-in-Residence Hi, my name is Monique, and I'm a Global Staffing Manager for the Online Services Group - consider me a "guest" JobsBlogger-in-Residence! I wanted to point you to a cool challenge on mtvU's Quad Squad that features Windows Live Search, scary smart college students, lots of great prizes, and an opportunity to interview for one of Microsoft's awesome internships. I've been involved in this fun and interactive project which definitely offers more than just a recruiting opportunity. In mtvU's words, "Traditional college rivals settle their differences in the business arena on mtvU's Quad Squads. A new product needs a plan, and two teams of four marketing students give their best pitch. The winners get prizes,
Office 2007 Serial, professional cred and, of course, glory for their school." Prizes, professional cred, glory - awesome! And tying to a Microsoft product like Live Local Search lets students see and get to know one of our leading edge, cool products. Soon, I'm heading out to meet the rival teams and am looking forward to hearing directly from the students about their experience with this challenge. Stay tuned, I will share the results!
