Congrats to Rodrick from Prairie View A&M University for Landing a Job at The Last Microsoft HBCU CONNECT Event!
|
Posted By: Roger Gates on September 30, 2020 Kudos to Microsoft for landing another talented African American Software Engineer, Rodrick Blanton, at the latest HBCU CONNECT Hiring event hosted virtually in August of 2020. Microsoft has hit it's stride with regard to consistently landing Black tech talent thanks to a 10 year relationship with HBCU Alumni Megasite, HBCUConnect.com. Rodrick, a Sr. Software Engineer and Prairie View A&M University graduate (an HBCU), attended the HBCU CONNECT Hiring Event with an open mind, curious to learn more about the specific team at Microsoft that was hosting the event along with HBCU CONNECT. Shortly after the HBCU CONNECT organized event, recruiters reached out to Rodrick to discuss his experience and a possible fit with Microsoft. "Will, Congratulations Rodrick! Microsoft is a great company that has being working hard to bring in diverse candidates at all levels.
