　　li wenyi feels lucky to have won the chance to intern at microsoft after passing through a professional exam, a translation test, a telephone interview and collective training and interviews at the beijing microsoft headquarters.

　　li was involved in the software department of her college, the nanyang institute of technology, and has won a number of awards for organizing college activities. she entered the microsoft helpdesk technique-support training course in june 2008, along with other 49 students, many of who were sophomores or juniors from prestigious universities.

　　li learned a lot in the training sessions and earned the top score in a speech contest in her group, which won her a two-month internship, along with 30 others.

　　li started the internship by labeling cables. she told the website there was a lot of pressure that gave her motivation and a desire to learn and grow.

　　she wrote in her diary "in my opinion, microsoft is more like a big family rather than an enterprise, and i am a child in that family. i was an infant when i first started, knowing nothing about the work, and microsoft was like my father. i was always afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing. but now i feel at home. i am growing and making sense of the work."

　　six weeks later, li was permitted to provide technical support in interior departments.
