Amazon Interview Dos and Don'ts from an Amazon Sr. Recruiter (Things to know before the interview)

Extremely helpful.

Thank you so much, although it was extremely helpful there are certain key takeaways. It’s pretty evident if you are honest they seem to only want to dig deep, find faults rather than actually see how technically capable the candidate is!

I interviewed for a highly technical role at AWS. They only cared about the behavioral questions. They didn't care about the technical aspects. After watching Amazon coaching videos like this, I have learned that Amazon wants you to make up stories. Just lie out your butt. They are looking for good liars for technical roles, not good workers. And they wonder why they can't find anyone to fill the technical roles. A good EOT never deals with customers, because they are behind the scenes. (And don't give me the BS that doing work in-house for other departments is working for a customer. A customer pays you directly for your products or services.)

Very good even if just a refresher it was exceptional dialogue and appreciated!!!

Its so refreshing to know that Amazon vets through each resume. This is why Amazon stands out from the rest! Thanks for the video, really helpful

Hi Yong can I be part of your team?

Great interview, thank you for unpacking and asking the right questions

Hi,
What does it mean when recruiter contact you for screening then help you schedule an interview with hiring manager but then stops answering any emails from you asking about coming interview format and expectations. It was totally unpleasant experience and shock my confidence before I even had the interview thinking the decision was already made even before the interview happen. The interviewer by the way didnt even read my resume according to what he said when I asked him why he keeps asking on something thats not core skill in my resume nor in the job description. As if I was setup for failure. Is it possible that they would change their mind before the interview happens but decides to go with it as formality for some other reaons? which is unfair for the interviewee. Thx

Hello yong. Thanks for the video. I wanted to ask.. For certain questions like which LP do you resonate the most.. or what we are your strengths etc. do we need to explain the answer in STAR stories too? Thanks 🙏🏻

Why Amazon doesn’t share the feedback after loop interview when you don’t select the candidate? It will be extremely helpful for candidate to know what are they missing so they can work on it.

Your questions to your guests are helpful. Your videos are informative for learning how to structure my narrative. One nit: There are quite a few typos in these videos which made me question the veracity of the content. I powered through but better grammar would go a long way. Don't let it hold you back from creating content but Grammarly could help :)

This is really helpful. When you have the interview, should you wear a tie?

Amazon work culture is toxic

amazon recruiter please stop sending recruiting scam emails to everyone. that is bullshit. fix it

So helpful :)
