👋 Hi, I'm Mehrunisa. I work as a Customer Success Account Manager (CSAM) and what my role entails is, in collaboration with the rest of my colleagues, I help address my customer's priorities with the whole array of Microsoft solutions. I never even dreamed of Microsoft, thinking that I did not have the right skills and was too 'old'. I was on the verge of signing with another international company when the call came completely out of the blue - then everything went really fast. The people who interviewed me were so professional and that convinced me that this was the place to be! I love so many things about working here. I have always worked on international projects and customers, but this is the first time where I feel that there is a common culture with all the employees across the entire globe. I also love the fact that I am completely empowered by my managers to do as I see fit, it is rare to find such trust, such a great mark of our leadership. The skills I think you need to work in Customer Success and have helped me are: 💡 Resilience to work on customer problems 😊 Ability to communicate effectively with multiple stakeholders 💭 Knowledge of Microsoft products 📘 Showcasing a Growth mindset vs a fixed mindset Come and join us: https://msft.it/6049i7tDx #MicrosoftCareers #MicrosoftLife #PeopleOfMicrosoft #CustomerSucess #WomenInTech #BecauseImpactMatters

Microsoft is looking for a Principal Product Manager. It’s Friday people and that only means one thing. Friday is when positions are posted the most, but also the day nobody is applying even though this is the best time. Hiring managers procrastinate just like you and there is no other time product manager roles are posted on LinkedIn more than late Friday afternoon and a little bit on Saturday mornings. I do this every week and yet people still complain nobody is hiring. Are you noticing the pattern it’s the same types of companies that are hiring product managers over and over again that are looking for the same types of experience. This should be a clue as to where the market is headed and why you may or may not getting any traction on your product manager job hunt. You can see the data on my LinkedIn feed. The majority (not all) of these product manager roles are in the following niches: Digital Payments Healthcare or Health Tech E-commerce Data Privacy  Cybersecurity Growth AI Product Strategy and Roadmap Recently Funded Startup of First PM Hire (💰💰💰) Automotive Product Leader (ie Head or Director of Product Management) I have a resume template for each type of product manager role in Skool! https://lnkd.in/gtQjCfUH See you in Skool.  https://lnkd.in/gtQjCfUH Don’t be late to Skool.  https://lnkd.in/gtQjCfUH PS Are you curious how my team is able to get to these roles as fast as we do?

"What are you thinking of doing after this role?". It was three minutes in to my first interview with Microsoft, and the question caught me off guard. Surely the answer is, "I want to do this role first", right? We all know and dread hearing "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" in an interview, but this time it felt different. What followed was both enlightening and harrowing, as the hiring manager took over half the interview to run through his own career development plan, his planned time to move, and which roles were next for him. Afterwards he again asked me: "What comes next?". This formed the foundation for what became my own lived truth: The best time to develop your career is while you’re happy and inspired in your current role. The best time to learn skills for what’s next is while you’re feeling fulfilled. The best person to own your career growth is you. Even today - I catch myself forgetting it. In a world where we're ruled by KPIs and leading indicators, QoQ growth % and RoBs, top line vs bottom line revenue - the day-to-day grind can be all encompassing. But the reality is that our impact is dictated by the most important thing of all: our own growth and development. I’m a constant - and unapologetically loud - voice for the importance of career development. I’ve been lucky over the last 20 years to have peers, managers, mentors, and friends help me on that journey; not by providing me answers but by holding me accountable and giving me a push or perspective where needed. There aren’t many companies in the world where you’re given a platform that not only facilitates career growth, but makes it an obligation fundamental to our mission: "To empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more". The best time to start your growth is yesterday, the second best time is today. If you're ready to develop and build your career - I believe Microsoft can be the platform for you.

👋 Hi, I'm Stefania. I work as a Customer Success Account Manager (CSAM) and I help our customers achieve their business goals and outcomes by leveraging Microsoft's cloud solutions. What made me join Microsoft was a combination of factors that aligned with my personal and professional interests and aspirations. It is a company that is constantly innovating and expanding its reach into new areas, such as artificial intelligence, gaming, education, and healthcare. My favourite thing about working at Microsoft is partnering with customers to reach their business goals based on Microsoft's cutting-edge technology and being able to contribute to their sustainability goals, while making an impact for the planet. Another aspect of working at Microsoft that I really enjoy and value is the focus we have on diversity and inclusion. I am particularly passionate about being part of women in tech communities, both inside and outside of Microsoft. I really believe in the power of such communities to inspire, mentor, and empower women to pursue and excel in careers in technology, and to challenge the stereotypes and biases that still exist in this field. Microsoft is the place where I can make an impact, by being involved in initiatives and programs that support and celebrate women in tech. ⭐ Come and join us: https://msft.it/6048iQBmr #MicrosoftCareers #MicrosoftLife #PeopleOfMicrosoft #CustomerSucess #WomenInTech #BecauseImpactMatters
