Dear Support Guru: I asked Heather from the Microsoft Customer Service & Support Careers Blog to stop by and share how to learn more about careers in Customer Service & Support (CSS). Others have been asking for more info on CSS, too, so look for more technical support and services careers info here on JobsBlog soon!

In a phone interview during my last job hunt, an interviewer (not at Microsoft) asked me if I had a Facebook account. Since we weren’t meeting in person, he wanted to put a face with the name.
It made sense that he would want a visual, but my heart sunk when I thought about what he might see: “Am I holding a martini glass in my profile picture? Did I set my birthday party photos to private? Will he be able to access the outlandish comments friends post on my wall?”
Now that you’ve seen where I’m coming from in terms of tips and advice, I feel it’s time to introduce my top six pieces of Kenji® branded recruiter advice. Handle with care!
