Question 1
There is no difficult part at all.. only thing I fumbled on was during explaining him my project experiences... and the question that what field were you interested in(particularly in MSFT)?
I said windows mobile and OS's..
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Sídney) in Aug 2012
Interview
I got the interview through university career events applications. I guess you have a better chance than applying online if you apply through your university. The interview had 2 rounds; the first round was mostly about my background and what I like and dont like about microsoft and how can I improve it. In addition to some technical questions and some design questions like design a clock for blind users.
