Below is my voice to text paragraph. This is was fun and thought pr<\/span>ovoking activity about how technology and humans are both susceptible to error, perception, and interpretation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHi everyone. Today I\u2019m going to talk about my recent experiences with virtual interviews. This assignment requires us to talk for about five minutes so I\u2019m gonna try to do that by sharing my interview experience with Lululemon and Microsoft for user experience design positions, so far. I started interviewing at Lululemon, Microsoft, Amazon, and HootSuite last month and the interviews are still ongoing. As you can imagine this is been a tiring experience as most of these interviews end up being about at least half an hour to an hour multiple times a week. I would say so far that the Lululemon interview experience has been the most smooth and easy, but that\u2019s because I know the <\/span>hiring manager from another connection last year, and he has been trying to get me to join their team for sometime now. So the factor of me trying to convince them to add me to their team is not A factor here which is awesome but I feel like I didn\u2019t get all of my answers when I was in the interviews because it was assumed that I would just be a perfect fit and the interviews revolves around more of my direct skills right now in the workforce. Whereas my interview experience with Microsoft has been a lot more thorough it started off with the hiring manager giving me an overview of the company culture. Which is something that I really value, they really drove home the point that Microsoft is a philanthropic company overall and it really matters to them who\u2019s on their team and what these players bring to their team in terms of overall goals. So it\u2019s not just about the skills that you have it\u2019s about making sure that you\u2019re the right fit as well. However Microsoft interview experience has been a lot more demanding the interview experience requires about six <\/span>interviews and four of those interviews are done over two consecutive days back to back and involves two presentations done by myself followed by interviewing with some key players after my presentations. So as you can imagine this is quite daunting and can make and interviewee a little nervous. But I have been very confident in my skills so far so I\u2019m not particularly worried, it\u2019s just that it\u2019s such a large time investment into one company. Which makes sense because Microsoft is a huge enterprise company and they receive an influx of hundreds of applicants a day so in order for them to really parse out the interviewees Who genuinely want the position they will make the interview process a little bit harder.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
