How To Have A Great Amazon Interview

GG your videos have been my go to I’ve watched so many, but I can’t recall which video it was about reading the stories. I noticed I gave very long-winded unstructured replies because I was so focused on nailing the STARi format that I completely missed my mark on answering the question clearly. Thanks so much for your uploads!!

Romania 😊

Hi GG , I have been accepted to work in amazon for watching your videos , you are the best

Hi GG, First of all thanks for your effort for putting these amazing videos, anyone short on time can rely on them. I got call for a PM role when I was kind of neck deep into current engagement. Could manage to watch your videos randomly and luckily have reached to Loop round. Interview was scheduled next week but now HR informed me position is closed and Hiring Manager wants to consider me for a new yet to be published Sr PM role. Is this normal ? Another point I have already shared my expected salary as it was asked to fill excel before round 2, does that has anything to do here. Request your perspective here.

I bet you were a terrific manager: the way you inspire people and the way you explain things are so crystal clear. You are so emphatic that made my eyes shine.
I’d liked to be one of your report and do 1:1s .

Hope to ace my loop and being part soon of what was your family 😅

Thanks!

If the hiring manager is a bar raiser is it possible they will bring in another bar raiser for the pod? Thank you in advance.

This was helpful. Thanks Gigi

Hi GG! Loving these videos - thank you for sharing this. My fear here is that English is not my mother tongue, so I already run at a great disadvantage since it is not a technical interview where English could be easier.

Amazon recruiter did not attend my interview as she had some tech issues. The team who contacted me to reschedule was very poor in communication skills. Are you sure that they do hire the best or this is just a rumor. Tech issue by the recruiter or a big tech company? Disappointed

I understand, but it's kind of shows the limitations of an interview as a process. The candidate might be brilliant, but because you didn't vibe, you think the candidate isn't up for the job. That's is an unscientific and unprecis tool if anything.

If you live in Italy you need a kick in your a**, that means you can be taken for the role only if you have knowledge. Very disappointed. I m not going to take into account any other job offer.

Hey GG,

I am from Port Ludlow Wa. I have a bachelors degree and have a background of 9 as a small business owner and contractor. My goal is to transition into a remote role in big tech as a non-technical recruiter

Thanks for the channel. Great content, clearly presented without the fluff. Interviewing for a Technical Curriculum Developer.

Hi GG, thanks for all your videos. I'm from Milan and I'm studying for an application in Amazon as Catalog Associate. The interviews will be in two weeks. Ciao ;-)

Hi GG, I'm interviewing for the IT support associate position. For the final interview, do you know what the first and second interview will be like? I have it on Thursday and it says that there are two consecutive interviews.

This is true, we sometimes forget that the one doing the interview is also a human being, the first part of my last interview with Amazon was extremely enjoyable, after I answered the “how are you” from the interviewer with a simple 15 seconds reply, I asked them back “how are you, xxx?” They were so evidently surprised by my question, like no one ever asked them that in a long time, even less from someone applying for a job. The second part’s interviewer wasnt as friendly, which made me think it was the reason I didnt pass the behavioural interview, and now I’m watching your videos, thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom!

Amazing information and knowledge share, really appreciate your putting the time to share such great content. Thank you

I have applied for an executive level position and getting help from your videos. Thanks for sharing.

Hi GG, this is my first time on your channel and I am overwhelmed by your valuable content. Happy to learn about acronyms and jargons. Thanks for making such an amazing video (love from India) ❤️❤️

Hi GG, I wish I watched this video yesterday 🤣 Just had a terrible interview today

Hi GG, Indiana and trying to break the L4 hourly to L4 salary in RME. Thank you for the tips.

Hi GG. I am interviewing with AWS for the second time. I tried three years ago, made it to the Loop but was not offered the job. I now have another opportunity! A second go round. I believe that I am better prepared (thanks in part to your wonderful videos, well done) and I know what I could have done better last time. My question is will my interviewers look at my previous answers? Does it matter that I didn't make it through once before? Or do they treat this as a clean slate? And should I even be concerned about this at all? Much Thanks. Brett

As usual fantastic tips & outstanding videos. Would like to tell you that next week I have my final loop interview for L5 level Pre-construction Manager. Any recommendations on how to prepare and what questions to focus on?

please can i get your linkedin details, i want to connect with you

Hi GG, thank you ! for your awesome videos, they are still relevant after years. I m from India and I m preparing for my SDM interview at Dublin

Thanks for the tips! I got an interview at Amazon here in Costa Rica and i will definitely make use of your tips! Wish me luck! Even thought its an internal interview i want to do it right

Hi GG! Amazing content here! Would like to ask you if leadership principles should be taken in mind for a technical interview as well . Thank you !

GG - thank you for the channel. Is there a reason why AI is not used to automatically transcribe the conversation and create a summary of the candidates responses to the questions. Seems rather 19th century to manually take notes in an interview.

Hi GG; I am interviewing for an Operation Manager Position in Brampton, (just outside of Toronto Canada) the "loop" interview is scheduled in August

Thanks GG. Hope you had a great time with your daughter today. You saved me a lot of time pondering what’s coming my way and what’s I’m into. Loop the loop coming next Monday! From Singapore with ❤️

Hey GG, thank you for the information. I'm scheduled for my 2nd interview(s) for a Site DWS Manager in Salt Lake City UT, USA

Hi GG, this is such an amazing content. The best I have seen. Thank you

Hi 👋 I'm from Germany and currently thinking about applying at Amazon as a solution architect. Your videos are great, not only if you apply at Amazon. Most of the stuff is very useful for interviews in general. I'm really impressed how much effort Amazon puts into everything. Sounds like a great place to work and learn ❤

I have an interview for a HRA role. What LPs should I focus on?

Hi I am from India. I am expecting Program Manager interview next week. Your inputs will be veryful. Please guide me.

Hi GG, thank you for sharing such helpful content. Do you have any guidelines around length of (initial) response to an interview question? I've heard somewhere that it should be no longer than 1-2 minutes. I understand that there will be probing questions, but I feel that a minute or two per question for a 45-minute interview seems too short and not the best use of an opportunity to give a full response that showcases your skills. I'd welcome your thoughts!

Love the tone, detail & pragmatic approach! I'm in the UK and preparing for my interviews. Good luck with your venture. regards Andy

Thanks for your videos. Watching in sequence. I am from India and interviewing for a program manager role.

I also want to know your thoughts on the following - I have finished my first phone screen and going into my second. My recruiter has not told me anything about which leadership principles to focus on and there has been no response to my email asking for more direction. I am focusing on the three leadership principles that you have said are the most important. But in such a situation how do you do the necessary preparation? Can you please post a video on the same?

I stumbled upon your videos while looking for content on Amazon leadership principles and really enjoying your tips and suggestions on how to do well in the interviewing process. Great work.

Hi GG,
I am from India and am currently preparing for manager, quality services role interview. Your videos are really helpful. Please continue doing the same.
Could you please let me know what kind of questions can i expect for this role?
