Internships with Microsoft
Like Apple, Microsoft needs little introduction, and produces and develops the world's most used software.
Interning at Microsoft:
Microsoft takes pride in treating its interns like real employees, having them join project groups and assigning tasks that could potentially impact national initiatives and strategies. These groups fall into a number of categories, some outside of software and hardware development like User Experience and Marketing. The perks don't stop with a real-life work experience. Microsoft interns also receive paid travel to Microsoft (including subsidies for bike purchase/rental!), health club memberships, and discounts on software.
How to Apply:
Apply to a specific group via the Microsoft "College Careers" website, which requires you to sign in with a Windows Live ID: http://www.microsoft.com/college/ip_overview.mspx. This will walk you through the resume building process.
