Hi GG!! I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! I prepared myself with all your videos and your website articles and it has been the best decision ever! I passed all the interviews and I'm starting as an Amazonian on Monday! I can't be happier!! :) To all of you that are preparing interviews, I can only say, listen to GG and prepare yourself! If you work hard, you will see the results! Best of luck to everyone!
GG - You helped me get my first position at Amazon. Now I have an internal interview loop (same level L5). Should I have an answer prepared for Why this team? Instead of why Amazon?
I am truly enjoying your content and also the passion and deep knowledge of the topic. You're amazing at what you do and your advice is applicable not only to Amazon's hiring process but in general because these leadership values transcend Amazon.
With this idea of hiring only someone better than 50% of existing workers, which had presumably gone through same screening, wouldn't Amazon be reaching the point when it's getting more difficult to hire people? And how much more are they offering for such a demand?
GG- thank you so much for simplifying and yet covering important aspects of answering the question "why amazon". This has given me a better perspective and gotten me even more excited😁
Hi GG, Thank you for all the videos! they have been extremely helpful and i have binged watched them all. I have a few questions if you dont mind answering - 1. An amazon recuriter has setup a call for a position (Sr. Program Manager) I had applied for. But I no longer see that position on the amazon jobs portal nor on LinkedIn, it wasnt there even the day she emailed me. Is it ok for me to ask if that positon is no longer valid? She'll probably tell me herself when/if we speak but in case she doesn't mention it on the call. On my amazon dashboard I still see that position as 'under consideration' but no hyperlink to the JD anymore. 2. I do not know if that position is L5 or L6, i'm aiming for L6 given the length of my experience in that area. Is it ok to ask the recuriter? provided that role is still available. I assumed all 'Senior Program Manager' roles are L6. And if that position turns out to be L5, can i negotiate for an L6 or does not that happen? 3. If I do make it to the interviews, what is the cadence/layout for the phone screens? is it all LP based or are there other focus areas? this role is non-tech so i was just curious on the format. 4. And in the panel interview rounds, the interviewer does not disclose which LP they are focusing on right? that's for us to extrapolate based on their questions? if that is the case, what if my example for the question addresses a different LP than what they were looking for? 5. In each panel round, I should expect to speak for atleast 3 examples between two LPs correct?For any follow up questions they may ask after I lay my example, those can be straight answers without following the STAR? I mean STAR is for the example itself, not for any follow up/probing questions on the example. Not sure if that makese sense. Really appreciate your help! Apologies if i have repeated any questions that you may have already addressed before.
Hi Ganesha- hope this helps 1) Of course you can ask..what’s the worst that can happen? 2) You can ask..a Senior PM should be an L6. 3) It will be LP based but there may be questions so the interviewer understands your technical skills in your field. 4) Yes you have to extrapolate. It’s up to them to get you on the right track. If you’re off the mark totally they’ll ask for a different example. 5) Follow up questions don’t need to be answered in STAR
Good evening. This material is very helpful! Thank you! I am slowly working through your videos. I had a question about how to work with my recruiter. You mentioned the recruiter should be aligned with me; however, it seems that my recruiter has limited interest in my recruitment. He did not provide me any information about the role outside of the job description and no information about my 1st round interviewers. May I ask for guidance on how to better engage with them or how to better understand the role (non-tech role). Thanks!
Hi there- obviously I can't speak to your specific case. The best thing you can do is make it easy for your Recruiter to help you by asking clear and specific questions. Good luck 🧙♀️
Good afternoon, I am facing the same situation currently as yours. I am not sure if it is a good idea to ask the recruiter about the interviewers. did you get the opportunity to do that in your case? If yes, then how was the response? Would you advice to ask such questions? i.e. name and position of the interviewers..
Hi Linfeng- I certainly noticed ;-). Ok, seriously now, I put the single take delivery down to 1) Being a genuine expert in what I'm saying 2) Having some notes in my hand and not being afraid to look down at them 3) Being comfortable to mess up on camera and just keep going- I think you guys would prefer the authentic me, imperfect as I am. I hope you find the videos useful.
If it's a kick off call with the recruiter, they'll be seeking to understand your skills and experience, more than digging into leadership principles. I have known she recruiters to ask an LP question but there's no mandated LP questions. Good luck 🧙♀️
Hello! I’m finding your videos to be immensely useful as I prepare for my interview, many thanks to your hard work in putting these videos together for us! I’m interviewing for a Driver Trainer position, have been at Amazon just shy of 10 months. That said I am struggling to come up with a good amount of situations to use during the interview which reflect on my time at amazon. I have past experiences at other jobs I can use but is that problematic to have fewer of the Amazon examples?
I got an interview at Amazon as channel team lead hub delivery. So what leadership principles should I go through and how to ace the interview? Expecting your guidance and expertise to make my dream come true
There are thousands of job families and I’m afraid in don’t know the key LPs for them all. Here’s a video on how to use your Job Description to try to work then out Mind blowing guide to finding the key Leadership Principles in your Job Description th-cam.com/users/livePd7Cnh4zhWs?feature=share.

Thanks, this is very helpful! I have a phone interview tomorrow, is it normal that I don't have a recruiter? I was initially sent an email requesting my availability for a phone interview and it is scheduled, but no recruiter has reached out.
Thank you so much GG! for your informative and motivative videos. I saw and folllowed all tricks and tips you provided in videos before 1 day of my interview. I successfully cleared the interview.!
Hello, really helpful content. I have a query. I am interviewing for marketing position. How to gain knowledge about team. I don't know anyone from team personally. And even through Linkedin, all I can just reach out to people in similar positions and not particularly from my team. Can you please give some advice here? Thanks
So reaching out to random marketers is unlikely to give you much insight into that specific team. Amazon is massive chances are who ever you get to respond to you will never have heard of or come across that team. If you have questions about the team or the role you're better off asking your Recruiter rather than wasting time in a black hole of on line research and unspecified conversations with unrelated Amazonians.
Hey Swati- I don't have a video on this. Basically because you should ask whatever question you need to, to be sure that this is the job you'd want if you get offered it. Those questions will be very different for each individual. I don't prescribed to the school of "impress your interviewer with incredibly smart questions".
That was only on Thursday. The SLA is 2 business days. That takes you to the end on Monday. If you haven't heard by then give it another 2 days then send a polite reminder.
Thx for the advice! I connected with an Amazon VP who liked my resume, sent me link to job postings, asked if I’d like to schedule an “informational interview” and said her Recruiter would call me…Never heard back (it’s been a month). This is puzzling to me: A) why did she offer an informational interview only B) does she have positions to fill? C) do I write to alert her that I never heard from her Recruiter? Honestly I’m not looking to to prep for yet another intense series of interviews if not connected to an open position (see: “informational”) . Curious to hear your insights re: this unique situation. TYSM!
Hello thank you for making this! I actually have my first interview with Amazon Pillpak chief compliance officer next week- would it be just as you described or very specific to a compliance manager role (the role I am applying for) in Pharma.
Do the three 45 min. interviews, all include technical/coding/math questions? I have seen some conversations on Reddit on it. Or are they behavioral questions like the phone screening? I applied for Escalation Specialist in Shipping & Delivery Support. Thanks!
OK- I think you are talking about the Panel round- which isn't always 3x 45min interviews. It can be more and they can be 1hr (depending on role and seniority).. The answer to your question is variable and dependant on role. I can't tell you the exact answer for the role you describe- I doubt any one person in Amazon, knows the exact process for every role. Coding/technical/math testing will be done ahead of Panel. If you don't meet the minimum standard on those, you won't get through to Panel. Then at Panel the primary focus is the LPs but some technical teams will ask technical questions/problems in addition to the LPs at Panel.
Love your videos! I applied direct to Amazon and got contacted for a phone screen. I have not recruiter who can help me find out all the details about the team. What can I do?
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Thank you so much for the tip. I'm applying for the Customer Journey Insights Manager role in Singapore, this is from the Customer experience and business trends team (CXBT). I tried to search the same job title on LinkedIn but there are no one with the same title in Singapore. I only tried to reach out people in other markets. Should I be trying to reach out to those with other titles in the CXBT team within Singapore?
hello GG loving the videos. Just a quick question. Currently at the final stage of the process and heard you speak about contacting your recruiter. Is it viable for me to email and ask her the above questions you laid out even though we have had no prior discussions on anything other than stages. Also don't want to look as if i am not as knowledgeable on the role within an area of infancy within Amazon
Hi Adam- at the end of the day you need to own making sure you have all the info you need to do the best that you can. What the recruiter thinks of you isn't really relevant. They don't have a vote on your de-brief. So I suggest you just send them a note saying you want to be as prepared as possible and these are a few questions you have.. Hope that helps..🧙♀️
Hi GG, I bought and downloaded your speaking notes. You had mentioned there are 127 question in the AIQB. Is it possible to access them anyhow, with or without the sample answers?
There's actually more now due to the recent launch of 2 new LPs. The AIQB is a confidential document covered by the confidentiality clause in all Amazonians contracts- it's therefore not something anyone should be sharing publicly. .
GG - you're the best! Thank you for so much valuable free material and for your so kind efforts and help. World is much better because of people like you, all the best.
Thank you for the amazing videos! However one department I never see really touched on is Loss Prevention. I have my first phone screening next week and am having a bit of trouble finding some good tips and tricks regarding this team. I understand it's a lower level role, but do you have any guidance on what I should prepare for? I applied online so I don't have a recruiter to work with.
Honestly there’s nothing special or different about loss prevention. I Bar Raised on a number of loss prevention roles and it was the same as all the other job families I Bar Raised for.
Hey there- there are no questions in the Amazon Interview Question Bank that ask you to talk about your weaknesses or strengths. That's not a behavioral question.
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 wow who knew. Thank you Gigi for really knowing how to demystify the myths. I think it's a good topic to talk about because we are all over the place panicking about all these useless questions & myths. Love from #Zimbabwe
Thanks GG, great content! These tips are invaluable to an aspirant like me! Having seen a few of your videos has given me the confidence, besides the understanding of my upcoming interview for the SVM role with Amazon UK!
There doesn't seem to be anything for Data Center engineers. :/ I think I might have a onsite interview coming up as my phone interview went well and I'm awaiting feedback. I'm partially prepared as I went did an onsite last year. Didn't prepare for behavioural question and it was 4 hours of Behavioural principle related questions, and I didn't get the job. I'm going to assume it will be the same thing this year, but I also want to make sure I've prepared adequately for the tech side. The question is, should I prepare more for behavioural or tech questions?
You're right, I don't do detailed videos on specific skills areas. There are many hundreds of technical job families in Amazon. Videos for each is unfeasible. Any technical testing either specific tests or questioning will happen in round 1 and or 2, alongside LP questions. Once passed that to Panel, it will be purely LP based questions. Although if you use a technical example in Panel, with a interviewer from your skills area, you might expect a technical follow up question. You'll need to prepare for both. But it won't matter how well you do in the technical tests, if you don't raise the bar on LPs you won't get hired. 🧙♀️
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Yea that's what happened last year. I aced the technical questions but started to repeat stories and LP's. I think that blew it for me, so I'll dedicate my prep time to LP's. I'm fairly comfortable with the technical stuff anyway. Thanks for the reply.

Hi GG, thank you so much for such informative videos. I followed your videos and have completed my on-site interview in Amazon India and waiting to hear back from them. I feel positive about my interview however one thing is striking in my mind is that I talked about flexibility at work to the hiring manager as I have a small baby around. Will that be a backdrop to my selection process? What do I expect.?

I gave my loop interview in the USA and I was so happy about the interview I did and I am positive too but it’s been 4 days and haven’t heard back from them and I did sent email to recruiter today but no response yet and I can’t kill two more days now as it’s weekend 😃😃

Hi, I have a interview this week for the Area Manager position. I've been told that I'll be doing 2-3 interviews, each taking 30-45 mins each. Any tips on how I should answer the questions? I have about 3-4 years of operations experience, and just graduated from college.
Hi Dizmek Bro- all my tips are poured into the channel. If you think I've missed something that you'd like to know about, please let me know in the comments. Good luck.
@@eon001 Sorry to hear man. Don't worry about it, if anything it's good practice. I may start a YT series on the Amazon Area Manager experience etc, and the whole process. I was offered the position.
@@iDizmek Congrats. Also I think I may have onsite interview this month as I re-applied and did pretty good on my recent phone screener. Wish me luck. We might end up working together. ;) I'm also considering doing YT videos on Amazon, google and facebook interviews for DC engineers as I've had experience with all of them.
Yes- especially at loop. That evidence can’t be used to make a decision to hire you, the Bar Raiser won’t allow it. So speaking about it in loop is an utter waste of time. Keep it short
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 thanks for the response. Now I’m nervous. I haven’t sat through an interview in over 10 years!! Let alone in front of a panel. Yikes. Am I over thinking here?

Hi GG! Your videos have been extremely helpful in my interview preparation, thank you for making them. I just have a few questions: If my panel or final round interview is my first live interview for the position, should my response to the 'Why Amazon?' question still be kept short (2-3 sentences)? Also, for the leadership principles questions, what is a good length for an ideal response? Thank you so much again, and any advice would be greatly appreciated!
With due respect sir, Amazon hr interviews need tobe monitored. I mean, they got to be recorded. Many cases, particularly, women who interview the candidates ate sullen and off mood. They bring their frustrations and shkve it on the deserving candidates. Resilt is worthy candidates get rejected amd dismayed. Amazon is fabulous place to work and prosper. Candidates are desirous and generally are in a tense frame of mimd, because they dream to work in Amazon. It hurts. It may reflect on the company, which is wtomg, but, what to do. This happened recently at visakhapatnam.
You should provide that feedback directly to Amazon. I don't work for them anymore so there isn't anything I can do with this feedback. I'm your sure observation that women are especially moody will be insightful.
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 "will be insightful"...lmao. Oh, yes, it will be very insightful to Amazon, and that kind of feedback greatly appreciated.

Thanks, are leadership questions asked during the phone screen, panel or both? Thanks
Hi George- both. 🧙♀️
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Thanks
Execllent information, and very well communicated! Brilliant!
Thanks
This was really good. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Horrible audio sorry
I know. Early days. On the list for reshooting.
Thank you for the amazing videos! However one department I never see really touched on is Loss Prevention. I have my first phone screening next week and am having a bit of trouble finding some good tips and tricks regarding this team. I understand it's a lower level role, but do you have any guidance on what I should prepare for? I applied online so I don't have a recruiter to work with.
Honestly there’s nothing special or different about loss prevention. I Bar Raised on a number of loss prevention roles and it was the same as all the other job families I Bar Raised for.
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 thank you very much! I shall keep watching then to prepare my knowledge
May you please make a video on strengths and weakness question
Hey there- there are no questions in the Amazon Interview Question Bank that ask you to talk about your weaknesses or strengths. That's not a behavioral question.
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 wow who knew. Thank you Gigi for really knowing how to demystify the myths. I think it's a good topic to talk about because we are all over the place panicking about all these useless questions & myths. Love from #Zimbabwe
Will do!! Adding to my roadmap right now.
Thanks GG, great content! These tips are invaluable to an aspirant like me! Having seen a few of your videos has given me the confidence, besides the understanding of my upcoming interview for the SVM role with Amazon UK!
Glad they help
Nicely Explained ..!!
Thanks GG 😊
Thanks Dhiraj
There doesn't seem to be anything for Data Center engineers. :/ I think I might have a onsite interview coming up as my phone interview went well and I'm awaiting feedback. I'm partially prepared as I went did an onsite last year. Didn't prepare for behavioural question and it was 4 hours of Behavioural principle related questions, and I didn't get the job. I'm going to assume it will be the same thing this year, but I also want to make sure I've prepared adequately for the tech side. The question is, should I prepare more for behavioural or tech questions?
You're right, I don't do detailed videos on specific skills areas. There are many hundreds of technical job families in Amazon. Videos for each is unfeasible. Any technical testing either specific tests or questioning will happen in round 1 and or 2, alongside LP questions. Once passed that to Panel, it will be purely LP based questions. Although if you use a technical example in Panel, with a interviewer from your skills area, you might expect a technical follow up question. You'll need to prepare for both. But it won't matter how well you do in the technical tests, if you don't raise the bar on LPs you won't get hired. 🧙♀️
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Yea that's what happened last year. I aced the technical questions but started to repeat stories and LP's. I think that blew it for me, so I'll dedicate my prep time to LP's. I'm fairly comfortable with the technical stuff anyway. Thanks for the reply.
@@eon001 my pleasure. Wishing you the very best luck. And credit to you for giving it another go. Fingers crossed. 🧙♀️
@@eon001 Hi...Could u please share your experience about your Amazon interview
@@srinivasnamburi1030 I plan on doing a TH-cam video. I've actually got the job, then but didn't make it passed probation. I really want to share my experience.
Great work and incredibly helpful. Thank you.
My pleasure Joe 🧙♀️
Thanks!
You're welcome
Thank you for great tips GG! Does AWS section of Amazon follow similar approach toward interviewing?
Yes. It's exactly the same across every part of Amazon, in every country in the world.
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Thank you!
Pleasure
Very helpful guidance - thanks kindly for presenting this!
Glad it was helpful!
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503.
Really appreciate your effort and support.
Have a phone interview Saturday for aws Data center engineering operations. Any specific advice from your side.
@@afsalmaliyekkal18 hey- my whole channel is my specific advice. There are many hundreds of different role types in Amazon. I avoid trying to provide custom advice for each type as it's just not scalable. Good luck 🧙♀️
Danke!
You’re welcome
Hi GG, thank you so much for such informative videos. I followed your videos and have completed my on-site interview in Amazon India and waiting to hear back from them. I feel positive about my interview however one thing is striking in my mind is that I talked about flexibility at work to the hiring manager as I have a small baby around. Will that be a backdrop to my selection process? What do I expect.?
I mean….that’s clearly not allowed to influence the outcome from a discriminatory point of view
Hi bhavana, what happened to your offer?
@@sowjanyavemavarapu6017 i joined Amazon this week
@@bhavanar2601 can you please tell me how long it took to hear from them after loop interview??
I gave my loop interview in the USA and I was so happy about the interview I did and I am positive too but it’s been 4 days and haven’t heard back from them and I did sent email to recruiter today but no response yet and I can’t kill two more days now as it’s weekend 😃😃
@@priyavermavms5656 i got my offer after a month. 4 long weeks. I can understand how you are feeling but I hope it do not take you so long. All the best :-)
Really useful, thank you!
Delighted to have been helpful
Hi, I have a interview this week for the Area Manager position. I've been told that I'll be doing 2-3 interviews, each taking 30-45 mins each. Any tips on how I should answer the questions? I have about 3-4 years of operations experience, and just graduated from college.
Hi Dizmek Bro- all my tips are poured into the channel. If you think I've missed something that you'd like to know about, please let me know in the comments. Good luck.
Dizmek Bro
Hope you did well. My Amazon onsite was brutal. Started off ok, then lost steam at the end and started repeating stories. :/
@@eon001 Sorry to hear man. Don't worry about it, if anything it's good practice. I may start a YT series on the Amazon Area Manager experience etc, and the whole process. I was offered the position.
@@iDizmek Congrats. Also I think I may have onsite interview this month as I re-applied and did pretty good on my recent phone screener. Wish me luck. We might end up working together. ;) I'm also considering doing YT videos on Amazon, google and facebook interviews for DC engineers as I've had experience with all of them.
@iDizmek did you eventually do the YT videos? What's your channel?
Great video!!
Thank you. 🧙♀️
Nice one =)
Thanks
great information
Hope it's helpful
Thanks for the video, do you also coach candidates for the interview preparation at amazon?
Hey Sheetal- if you'd email infoamaz0ninterviewwhizz@gmail.com I can provide you with some information. 🧙♀️
Very helpful! Many thanks for putting this across.
My pleasure. Thank you for watching it. 🧙♀️
Very helpful advice. Thank you. Can I use the same example of a situation in the phone screen as in an actual job interview?

Can i just email HR and ask about the team ??
There's no reason you can't. 🧙♀️
Hi there! I’ve got an interview for Loss Prevention Specialist, any information would be helpful??? Thanks!
Hi there- all the content on the channel is appropriate for this role, except the video on Graduates.
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Thanks to the awesome content, I got the job back in August with a nice sign on bonus ✅
@@NoFear9219 amazing!!!!!!! Congratulations
Hi Gigi,
What if I haven't been asked this question in the phone screens? Should I still keep the answer to 2-3 sentences in the panel round?
Yes- especially at loop. That evidence can’t be used to make a decision to hire you, the Bar Raiser won’t allow it. So speaking about it in loop is an utter waste of time. Keep it short
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Thank you so much! I have my loop tomorrow. And I am very excited. Your content has been very helpful :)
@@anushidoshi9589 good luck
Thanks for the content. Do all or most positions sit through a panel interview?
Most. Some processes like MBA and Graduate programs are different.
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 thanks for the response. Now I’m nervous. I haven’t sat through an interview in over 10 years!! Let alone in front of a panel. Yikes. Am I over thinking here?
@@SS-ql7bt check out my Interview Preparation Masterclass. It's only $40 (I say only, I appreciate you may not be in a country where it is "only") but is really really comprehensive (I think I've under priced it) about exactly how to prepare.

@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 thanks I’ll check it out
Hi GG! Your videos have been extremely helpful in my interview preparation, thank you for making them. I just have a few questions:
If my panel or final round interview is my first live interview for the position, should my response to the 'Why Amazon?' question still be kept short (2-3 sentences)?
Also, for the leadership principles questions, what is a good length for an ideal response?
Thank you so much again, and any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Alex- yes I'd still say keep it short and concise. For the length of response please see my video "How Long Your Examples Should Be". Good luck.
With due respect sir,
Amazon hr interviews need tobe monitored.
I mean, they got to be recorded.
Many cases, particularly, women who interview the candidates ate sullen and off mood.
They bring their frustrations and shkve it on the deserving candidates.
Resilt is worthy candidates get rejected amd dismayed.
Amazon is fabulous place to work and prosper.
Candidates are desirous and generally are in a tense frame of mimd, because they dream to work in Amazon.
It hurts. It may reflect on the company, which is wtomg, but, what to do.
This happened recently at visakhapatnam.
You should provide that feedback directly to Amazon. I don't work for them anymore so there isn't anything I can do with this feedback. I'm your sure observation that women are especially moody will be insightful.
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 "will be insightful"...lmao. Oh, yes, it will be very insightful to Amazon, and that kind of feedback greatly appreciated.
