It is expected that the candidate research Microsoft's various businesses and product groups, and come prepared to speak in-depth about his/her résumé in addition to asking thoughtful questions. After the first-round interview, the recruiter will consider Microsoft's current business needs and evaluate whether they are in line with the candidate's qualifications and interests. The candidate can generally expect to receive the results of the first-round interview from the recruiter within about two weeks of the interview date (First Round 2006). If selected for a second-round interview, the candidate is invited to travel to Microsoft's headquarters located in [[Redmond, Washington]] for a second-round interview. The candidate is contacted by a Microsoft recruiting coordinator and a mutually agreed upon date is determined for the second-round interview. Travel and lodging arrangements are then presentedprocessed and finalized. The maximum length of the candidate's interview trip can be up to three days and two nights, which includes one day to interview and one day to sightsee (Overview 2006).
