After 4 years of successful business, I decided to take the next step in my career and apply for an international company. Eventually, I was offered an account executive role at Microsoft. Since my subsidiary employed relatively a small number of people, I was responsible for not only sales but also channel marketing of MS software for new devices. In particular, I partnered with local as well as international server and laptop companies to sell pre-installed Microsoft products and services to customers. Basically, my job entailed finding leads and customers, converting them into the opportunities and closing deals to provide revenue. Usually, projects were so complex that we had to tailor the technical advice of servers and laptops providers to fit consumers’ existing IT infrastructure.

The recruiter was super friendly and encouraging. She was always on time and checking in with me consistently throughout the interview process. The interview questions were standard, nothing out of the blue.
