<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:windowtext">Microsoft is actively recruiting student partners for the 2012-2013 academic year. A Microsoft student partner helps create awareness of Microsoft’s latest
technologies on campus via events, guest-speakers, and social networking. The position offers a generous stipend and other benefits, and requires an average of 10 hours per week that is flexible depending on the student’s other academic commitments. This
is an excellent way for students to get a big name on their resume, and get real world experience that can make a big difference. The Microsoft Student Partner position does not require polished technical skills, although technical acumen is always a plus,
so this job is a great “first” career position, but can also be a “breadth” type position that shows off the softer side of a student’s skill set. Good interpersonal skills are a must, and the ability to get a crowd together is definitely a plus. Please
feel free to distribute the following job description widely to your student lists, but particularly to club presidents, TA’s and other students you know well.
