Key Attributes Microsoft is Looking for:
Customer Focus
- "Tell me about a time when you received a customer complaint. What did you do?"
- "Tell me about a time you failed to meet the customer's needs"


Adaptability and dealing with ambiguity
- "Tell me about a time you faced ambiguity in a project"

Collaboration and communication
- "Tell me about a time where you had a conflict with your team"
- Communication is evaluated throughout your whole interview - remember to be concise and structured in your answers.

Diversity and inclusion
- "Tell me about a time when you had to help resolve a conflict between two colleagues (or students)"

Growth Mindset
- "What has been your greatest achievement?" or "Tell me about a time when something didn’t go the way you wanted at work"

Drive for results
- "Tell me about a time when you’ve gone above and beyond the minimal requirements of your goal. What were the results?"
- "Tell me about the most difficult challenge you have faced"

Influencing without authority
- "Tell me about a time where you had to influence someone but you didn't have authority over their work"

Problem Solving
-Problem-solving will be product design questions and, in some rare cases, strategy questions. They can ask you things like: How would you improve your favorite product? or How would you design an elevator?
