Microsoft Student Partner Update – Considered! | Posted at 3:45 PM
So I got the call today. They interviewed me quick (6-7 minutes) over the phone and said they’ll be reviewing applications in the next couple of weeks. That means I’m considered! How exciting.
I wish I had time to prepare, they interviewed me out of the blue. I think I handled it well, but I wish I had the opportunity to think of more responses. They asked how I’d market an event on campus and some ideas eluded me:
- Use my connections with student groups to advertise through them.
- Host an event “in association� with a group I’m involved with.
- Announce event before specific classes (this I did mention in my essay to them)
- My blog? :P
I did say these ones, though:
- Display cases in Coffman
- Posters on the bridge
- Event posters at Carlson
- Posters in IT or CLA
- Chalking
- Facebook events
- Word of mouth
Anyway, I did my best so that’s all I can do. I wonder if they Googled my name… if they did they probably read my blog, weird. Well, that is kind of the idea, isn’t it? So they can see how varied I am, I suppose.
I checked Analytics and since the beginning of May my blog has been viewed using the keyword “kamran ayub� 18 times. With some cross-referencing, 6 were from MN and 2 from NY and CA along with 4 visitors using T1 connection speeds. It doesn’t mean anything, it all depends on where that computer was located, but it could certainly be the case that they didn’t. Either way, using Analytics to drill down like that is pretty sweet, huh?
