Microsoft On A Roll: Hiring in Sales

Thursday, 4 November 2010

Microsoft, which already employs 36,000 salespeople in the U.S. alone, is hiring more around the nation, reports Shareen Pathak in Sales-jobs.fin.com.
Microsoft is on a roll. Last week it announced at 51 percent increase in profits. Also, Microsoft has plenty new to sell, including Internet Explorer 9 and Windows Phone 7. Microsoft is recruiting both entry level and experienced salespeople who have technical expertise. However, there are some higher-level jobs employment which demand the relationship approach to sales. Those require soft skills like listening and the ability to problem solve.
career Job opportunities are listed on Microsoft's career site. Microsoft wants you to know that often positions are listed generically -- there might be only one listing for what could be several available sales positions. Therefore, don't be discouraged if you find only one opening in a large sales territory. Since Microsoft wants the best talent, it has set up a site to explain the best way to introduce yourself to the company.
