Btw got the job!!
I recently interviewed for another tech company and they also have a similar bar raiser interview process, your videos helped immensely! I've got their offer, thank you GG! :)
Wow that's awesome Shaun. Congratulations- thanks for letting me know.
Thank you so much for the great information! A lot of your videos really helped me ace my interview and I landed an amazing internship! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!
Whoop whoop. Well done. My best wishes for the start of an awesome journey.
This video was so insightful GG. Thank you very much!
Happy to help.
I am so glad I found your channel. I shot my shot and applied for an internship in the HR department and now i have 5 days to prepare for the digital interview.. this was so so so helpful!
Good luck!!!
Once again I totally love this video GG. Thank you so much for sharing. Unfortunately my video panel interview is on Tuesday (it's Sunday afternoon already) and my sourcing recruiter has been MIA since she is located in Austin and is obviously going through a lot with the unfortunate current situation there. I have reached out to the global recruiting lead for the last one week keeping in mind the situation in Austin and have asked if he could put me in touch with someone else or if he could answer some questions I have, but he has only emailed me with some information in reply to just a few of my questions. I'm hoping I can crack the interview thanks to your extremely helpful videos and tips. I am so glad I came across your channel :)
I missed this Preeti- I hope you tracked someone down in the end.
GG, while I didn't get the role, I will say your videos prepared me as much as possible for the experience. From the written sample to the panel interview, your insights were spot-on while not giving away any secrets. The rest was on me, the way I answered or the depth of my responses. It is a grueling process. I'm going to step back from Amazon for a bit as this one stings a little. Keep up the good work.
Hey Tad- I'm so sorry it didn't work out for you. But even making it to Panel is an increadible achievement. I'm proud of you. Come back when you're ready. I hope to see you back and maybe with the Amaz0n Interview Whizz Academy as well as the free TH-cam content next time can be a winner for you. Stay safe GG 🧙
🖤
This is very informative GG as I'm going for a leadership interview soon..thank you so much.
You’re most welcome. Wishing you luck
Thanks for all your interview tips! I've nearly watched all your videos in preparing for my marketing interview this week and they have been incredibly helpful. Feeling a lot less overwhelmed!!
Glad to help. Good luck 🧙♀️
Thank you for the detailed interview tips.
It's my deepest pleasure Aarvi. 🧙♀️
Thanks for your help GG - really enlightening
My pleasure
Thanks GG. Your videos are super helpful. I'm having a final interview with Amazon soon so finger crossed 🤞🏼
Good luck 🤞
Super informative video .. !! Thank you GG.
Thanks watching the content..🧙♀️
Awesome video! Thanks GG!
My pleasure 🧙♀️
Just finished my loop today I hope God blesses me. Thank you GG.
Best of luck
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Hey GG I received an call last night at 10am from an recruiter telling that I got the job and I will receive the offer on Monday. How crazy!!!!
Key Message. Three tips to select the most relevant Leadership Principles for which preparing for:
- Always prepare for DIVE DEEP, DELIVER RESULTS, CUSTOMER OBSESSION
- Look in the job spec - relevant LPs to the role could be mentioned. Otherwise you need to interpret the job spec.
- Ask the recruiter at phone sifting stage
You're a life saver. There another interview coach that claims you need 2 stories per principle. That always felt like overkill. I have about 8 solid stories and examples that are flexible enough to cover all the principles.Just tightening up my delivery.
I agree 28 strong examples would be a challenge for even the most experienced candidate. 8-10 flexible ones that can be spun to a couple of LPs is how I prep. 🧙♀️
Thank you for all the useful tips. Do you have any links about the simulation test?
Hey GG, I love your video content and way of explaining things. Super helpful tips. I am preparing for a final 3*30 minutes online interview with the role of HR partner. If possible, could you let me know which other leadership principles I should pay more attention to? Of course I will take special care of the three principles that you mentioned in this video. Thank you GG :)
Hi there- I'm sorry I don't give recommendations on what LPs to focus on for specific job families- as each role, even within a job family will be different. The tips in this video are you best pathway to understanding what is most important in your role. Good luck 🧙♀️
Yes it was helpful. Ty.
Pleasure
You are amazing! I love your videos - helped me a lot for my interview. What would be the principles for Process Control Specialist?
Keep the good work up!
Hey there. Thank you for the kind words. I can't tell you the key LPs. Every rule even in the same job family will have different key LPs depending on the business unit, the team, even the manager. To identify them you need to focus on the job description and really deconstruct them. I have a video in my live collection of how this can be done. I also offer a service to do it for you, the link to which you can find in the description of that video. Good luck 🍀
Thank you!!
You're welcome
Thanks GG! I followed your advice and asked my recruiter the key leadership principles for the position I am interviewing for, unfortunately they told me they could not share that information. 😮 Oh well, I will keep using your videos to prepare!
Hi Venita- you're not the first to tell me this. Recruiters are getting cagey I think. Still worth asking though. 🧙♀️
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Agreed!
Hi Ms. GG! Thank you so much for everything so far. Do you have any information on which LP's you would recommend for Loss Prevention positions? Thank you for your help.
Every role will be unique. Check out this video on how to do the analysis yourself
th-cam.com/video/Pd7Cnh4zhWs/w-d-xo.html
Hey GG, thanks for your immense support, for this position, which LP should I focus on , how many questions, and is there any Aptitude test or is just leadership, see detail below: Position: Manager, Enterprise Support
LP : · Innovative thinking and bias for action balanced with a strong customer and quality focus
HI- I'm afraid I can't offer advice of exactly which LP to focus on. It will vary materially even in the same job type, betwen countries, managers, teams etc. Neither can I advise if there will be an aptitude test. Again this is a decision made locally. Your recruiter shoudl be able to tell you.
Hey GG,
I’m Tom, trying to get L4 (being already L3) and I have a panel during following days. I have asked my recruiter about Leaderships and he answered he is not able to disclose further information about my panel 🤷🏼♂️
I will try my best with guessing and thanks a lot for your videos and help! They are amazing:)
Yes, I'm starting to hear Recruiters are getting cagier. But worth asking anyway. Go over the job description with a fine tooth comb. In my experience its very very often there. As an L3 you should be in a good position to spot the key words that lead to an LP. Good luck Tom. Fingers crossed for you.
GG, I'm getting ready for the loop next week. Can I have two questions for the same leadership principle in the same meeting or with different interviewers? Or is it one question per LP and each interviewer has different LPs to validate?
Gigi.. Brilliant video. thank you! I have the Loop on Thursday for a people manager. My interviewer gave me a tip to prepare for performance reviews and people management questions. Any Gigi tips?
Prepare answers from 2 angles 1) a success employee story 2) a failing employee story
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Thank you very much..
Hey Gigi! Great videos!
I wanted to ask- will i be asked directly to state some example on each LP or I will be given some situation/ case or something.. how would I knw which of my example to be used ? Because May be the question is framed in a way that I might fit in 2 -3 related LPs..
Each question is meant to gather data on only one LP. Listen to the question and find an example that answers it.
Hi , thank you for amazing tips!
Had a query - if I am asked to tell a situation where you made an important business decision?
What does business decision means here? Any example!
I mean is it solely sales improvement decision they are talking about?
It just means an important decision in your job
I really like the idea of asking the recruiting coordinator for the key principles but I am a bit apprehensive as I might be creating a negative impression by asking them to help me that precisely with prep. I am interviewing for a Business Analyst and I want to know the key principles in general. I would appreciate it if you could help me with understanding what principles would be best to prepare for
You can ask your recruiter. They might say no, but it won't be held against you. Never once in in the many hundreds of interviews and de-briefs I've done, have I ever heard a recruiter complain a candidate asked if there was any chance they could advise them of the key LPs of the role. At lot of my candidates tell me they get the answer although many don't. It's absolutely worth trying.
Hello, great tips 👏,which principals should I focus on for cloud supportive associate role?
Hey Swathi- Beyond the advice in this video, it is high risk for me to define universal LPs for a specific role. The same job in different teams/regions/countries may have different LP priorities for many reasons such as tenure of team, performance of unit etc. If you follow the advice of this video, the output will get you a more accurate answer that I could assume. 🧙♀️
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 thank you...
finally. I was wondering if I don't work with the end product customers, can I count internal people I work for as a customer ...
Yes
Thanks again for sharing invaluable information! If each interviewer is focused on one leadership principle (LP) each, does it mean that all 3 questions are related to that specific LP and I need to have 3 examples for that? Or is one or more of the questions just a general question without LP attached? I have narrowed it down to 6-7 LP based on the job description and I may need 18-20 examples if 3 examples per LP. Hence the question.
Interviewers will be assigned 2-3 LPs to test. Interviewers may throw in a couple of general questions for curiosity/warm up sake. All teams will seek to ensure you have the technical skills in early rounds, some also do so at final round. I advise to have a min of 2 per LP ready. Hope that helps.
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 ok thanks. That makes sense now!
Does it mean that a few LPs (customer obsession for example) may be tested by more than one interviewer?
No. They are only assigned to one person. There are key LPs that they will test for the role. Then they will extend to others once all of those are covered.
Hello Gigi!
Thanks for the amazing content!
How could I reach my recruiter, if I've only a general email address, and only the name?
I'm in the phone screening part of the process.
Cheers!
Hi Yassine- if you have their full name you could try LinkedIn.
@AIW - Do hiring committee consider resume? Let suppose candidate did good in interview but committee consider something from resume and that decrease the chances.
Hi- Kulwinder no your resume is not reviewed at debrief nor is it part of the discussion. By the time you get to the panel stages the round 1 and 2 should have determined that your experience/skills are in line with requirements. Panel round is all about your response to the Leadership Principle questions. 🧙♀️
Hey Gigi. Have you heard of or have insight into a “second phone screen” after doing well on the first and being invited to a loop?
Hi Jason- I'm unclear. Are you saying after being invited to loop, you were asked to do a second phone screen first?
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Yes, that is correct. I thought it was interesting and out of the norm, but was assured it was not indicative of any poor performance from the first PS but simply because the HM wanted additional technical questions to be presented prior to the loop.
Not something that is common- but the explanation seems very plausible. Hope that helps.
The STAR method is specifically for just answering the behavioral questions correct? As in, i should not be using star method to answer functional questions? How do you recommend answering the functional questions, assuming you are tying in LP’s into your answer? Thanks!
You don’t try to tie LPs to functional questions they’re testing your technical knowledge. Imagine asking a mechanic how they’d strip an engine- it would make zero sense to try to show the mechanic behaved like a leader while they stripped it. No STAR required.
With panel you mean "the loop"? That means no overlapping LP questions between the rounds in the loop?
Yes
Hey GG! Do you have any example of stories using any LP

Amaz0n Interview Whizz thanks
Hi there thank you for helping us prepare for success. Wanted to ask if the same example for a LP can be given to all 4 interviews at the bar raiser round. Thanks
Hi Cyrus- I wouldn't recommend that strategy. Only the most junior candidates maybe 1-2yrs experience can really get away with doing that.
Let me reframe this with an example. For Customer obsession if I give one example to one interview can I not give the same example for the same LP to another interview
For the bar raiser round there are 4 interviews. Is each one given a specific LP to probe or it could be that 2 interviews could ask on same LP such as customer obsession
Each interviewer is given unique LPs to ask their questions on.
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 thanks hope you don't mind me asking you a few more as preparations are on.
Hi GIGI I Am speaking with the hiring manager on this thursday i wanted to know how to properly prepare. I am interviewing for the Sales Enablement Manager role.
It's this an interview or a informational
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 its an actual interview with the hiring manager
@@nirajparikh3305 preparation- 1) be prepared to cover these ares - walk through your career history, tell me about yourself, why this role/amazon 2) Prepare examples for behavioural questions based on the Leadership Principles 3) Going by the job title this isn't a technical role if not you won't need to worry about any technical tests
Thanks GG for the valuable videos.Had a comment on the focused preparation for leadership principles suiting the job description.The question as you mentioned in the video to ask the Recruiter : “What’s are the key leadership principles for this role that I am being recruited for ? I’ve looked at the job description and I found x,y,z……..Have I got it right or are there any more that I should be looking out for ?” This didn’t work for me and the recruiter didn’t share the specific leadership principles and instead asked to prepare for all of them.
It happens. My experience is its about 50/50. Some candidates get the answer, some don't.
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Thanks but surely one's got nothing to loose by just asking the question.
For sure. That's why I always recommend people just ask.
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Hey GG thanks again for your valuable insights. Do you offer any course/ boot camp tailored for a loop interview? I have got 15 days left for mine! I can't an email on your website to get in touch. Thanks
Hey Vishal- email me at amazoninterviewwhizz@gmail.com.
I prepped for a few LPs. My interviewer combined several LPs in questions so my stories didn't work. Disaster.
Does Amazon value entrepreneurship or do they don't accept people who have side businesses? Thanks
Yup you just need to let your manager know and get their confirmation there’s no conflict of interest.
In my experience the recruiter
Hadn’t shared anything.
It seems to be that Recruiters are becoming increasingly cagey about this. But if you don't ask then you'll never know. 🧙♀️
what if the recruiter is an amazon person? can still help to define what are the LP for that JD?
Is or isn’t?
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 my recruiter is a person inside Amazon , not someone from a recruiting agency
@@KeigoMoriyama then you should ask them the key LPs for the role. They’re not going to review the job description for you but they should know it based on their conversations with the hiring manager. They may or may not agree to tell you but it doesn’t hurt to ask
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 thank you very much
@@KeigoMoriyama good luck
many thanks , PLZ I have two questions ( tell me a time when you have to do a task under pressure _very tough_ ) here what is Leadership Principles should I meet and what is the interviewer like to hear here
secound question ( Explain a situation where you achieved a Goal and how you would have achieved it better if you have a chance now) also what is LP meet here, what is the answer the interviewer like to hear also
many many thanxs in advance
Hi Mautez- Both are Deliver Results questions. The LP description of DR is a pretty clear one. I'd look to that for the answer as to what the interviewer is looking for. Amazon published them here www.amazon.jobs/en/principles.
No this does not work!
I sent an email to recruiter with the same content she said in video and this is what recruiter replied:
----------------------
Thanks for your email.
Unfortunately, we are not allowed to communicate to candidates which LPs they’ll be tested on.
My suggestion is to practice one or two examples for each.
----------------------
P.S.: I also had mentioned 6 LPs which I guessed from Job Description
I’m afraid it does work for other people. I know plenty of candidates who were given the key LPs by their recruiters. In my experience your odds are about 50/50.
Hi Gigi, what are the questions like for creative/design department? I am interested in Amazon Fashion.
Even in a particular job family the LPs a hiring manager is looking for in that exact role will differ. The make up, relationships, organisation will all drive requirements. If I recommend some, I'd be in large part guessing. I wouldn't take that risk with your career. If you follow the tips in the video, you should get better quality info than I can guess at. Good luck 🧙♀️
Amaz0n Interview Whizz thank you for your reply. I’m kind of bummed out because my recruiter said we will talk tomorrow Thursday and asked me for my availability and I replied with few different hours. This was Monday and I still did not get a confirmation from him for the call. It’s so weird.
hey GG, any hint, on overall process - anything that will help out? - Hey GG, thanks for your immense support, for this position, which LP should I focus on , how many questions, and is there any Aptitude test or is just leadership, see detail below: Position: Manager, Enterprise Support
LP : · Innovative thinking and bias for action balanced with a strong customer and quality focus
hi ccie security- well my whole channel is a hint on the overall process. Min 3 questions per interview. You need to ask your Recruiter if there is an aptitude test, it differs by team. I can't tell you which LP to focus on but the description you just wrote points clearly to 4 of them.

Does Amazon discriminate against Autistic individuals?
Amazon says it’s an equal opportunity employer. I have no evidence to disprove or prove that claim.
Hi, thank you very much for your efforts, your videos are helpful.
I am scheduled for first phone interview in the role, Recruitment Manger, how would I contact my recruiter/interviewer, to guess the targeted leadership principles? I only have her name and a general contact email in case of any inquiry.
If it were me I'd email the general address and ask for the recruiter's email address as I have some further questions on the role and in that I have their name, I'd look them up on LinkedIn and reach out begging polite and explaining I had some further questions on the role.. Good luck 🧙♀️
