Microsoft Windows 7 Campus Rep Program 

WHAT?

A 10-week Microsoft internship for an outstanding student on your campus in fall, 2009. 

In October, 2009 Microsoft will introduce the all-new Windows 7. You told them what you want in a PC.  They listened.  And made hundreds of little improvements and a few big ones that add up to a whole lot less.  Less waiting, fewer clicks, and less complexity. With less of what you don’t need, Windows 7 will help you do more. More work, more play, and more of everything in between.  Making every task simpler and every day easier. 

WHO?

We need outstanding student leaders across the country to help us introduce Windows 7 to their peers.  Specifically we are looking for students who…

• Have the respect of their peer group
• Are recognized as leaders.  They get involved in organizations to lead and influence, not just build their resume
• Are tech-savvy and excited about new technology
• Are experienced Windows and Microsoft Office users
• Are connected to peers, both electronically through social networks and on-campus through involvement in clubs and organizations
• Are “doers.” They’re the ones you trust when something needs to get done.

 

What’s required of a Microsoft Windows 7 campus rep?

Reps will receive everything they need to do the job including a Windows laptop computer.  They will be asked to share an online demonstration of Windows 7 with their peers.  Specifically they will: 

• Promote Windows 7 in different ways each week, following a week-by-week calendar provided by Microsoft.
• Organize opportunities for students to view the capabilities of Windows 7.
• Using Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and other means of social networking, promote the product to friends, post web banners and set up online event invitations for demonstrations.
• Post detailed results to our portal in a timely manner.
• Communicate with our account manager on any problems, challenges or ideas.

In addition to the invaluable experience of working for a Fortune 100 company, students will receive a Windows notebook computer and a significant cash stipend.
