西部落：软件无处不在（在线收听）

The company isn't just software, in fact it's everywhere

Coming in high at NO. 6 in universum's annual survey of more than 40000 undergraduate students nationwide, is computer giant, Microsoft Corporation. From its headquarters campus in Redmond Washington, microsoft oversees roughly 71000 employees in over 100 countries. With 2006 revenues just over the 44 billion mark.

To simply define the company, it's fairly to say that Microsoft develops, manufactures, licenses, and supports a large variety of software computing devices. And that the company's best known for it's windows operating system, and its Microsoft Office suite made up of well known programmes like WORD, POWERPOINT, EXCEL and OUTLOOK.

But the company isn't just software, in fact it's everywhere. Online at MSN.com, on cable television at MSNBC, or even in your living room, with game systems like X-BOX 360. The company recently restructured and founder Bill Gates's stepped down from his role of chief software architect to concentrate on charitable work. But Microsoft remains strong and bent on growth, looking for new employees who don't just work in techonology,but who live and breathe technology.

With sparkle in the eye, we're looking for very passionate people, i'm also looking for people that have loved technology all their lives. So a lot of times, i will ask them,you know, when did you start coding, you know, if it was like 7th grade that tells you something. Right, that they, or they do something on their own, not part of a project, you know, that kind of thing. So that's what i'm looking for.

Microsoft has an in-depth careers website, loaded with national and global job information, and you can find the link to their information right here on our website. For career TV, i'm sean O'grady
