Hi,

Sure, you can put it. Why not? Lots of internships are made as contractor legally as well

Hi A,

Yes. In the description you can add that you worked as a contractor. Or you can have Microsoft (through Xyz) as title.

A contractor role is the same as a full time employee role in terms of tasks and responsibilities so yes absolutely you can put the role and the title and it will be verfied as such by Microsoft

Hi Alex,

I agree with the other comments that you can definitely leave Microsoft in your resume - you can specify your activities then in the description.

Best,

Francesco

Hi Alex,

Yes, sure, you can. Why not?

If you feel it's important to mention that you worked as a contractor, you can add this information. It would not hurt either way.

Do you need any further help?
