  • In this video I take you through my favourite questions to ask in an Amazon interview, based on over one thousand hours of interviewing for Amazon.
    I break down the questions to ask in an Amazon interview into 3 categories to cover the 3 groups of people you'll meet in the process.
    I'll also briefly explain to you why I recommend the questions to ask in an Amazon interview aren't the types of questions most other interview coaches will recommend you ask.

    I just want to say thank you, I had my panel early this week. I saw many of your videos, took notes and prepare my examples and my answers. Not for every LP but for the ones most job-specific. I focused on structuring correctly with Stari, and remain calm and positive.
    I nailed the 3 interviews. They told me I made a great impression, next day early the hiring manager called me, gave me awesome feedback and invited me to jump into his team! So I’m super happy.
    Thanks a lot for your videos were a life saver.

This ensures you work with the best people that mesh with the Amazon culture. I’m really excited to get started!

    I've got my loop coming up in a couple of weeks, and I'm glad to see you're recommending asking openly about challenges. Honestly, there are so many horror stories out there about working at amazon it's terrifying. I assume since amazon is so big that its a 'your mileage may vary' kind of thing.

      One of my AIW Academy members who just got an offer asked me something similar today. Here's my thoughts.
      All companies will have employees with horror stories. But the bigger and more well known the company the more and more visible these horror stories will be.

    GG, i have watched about 80 percent of all your videos to prep for my interview few weeks ago, and I have inclined for that interview.
    It was a complete disaster imo , the interviewer was even trying to calm me down and try to help me out too. however, imo it was a level 3 role so it had some leeway. I think I answered 2 question perfectly and the rest I just answered them on the fly.
    However, most of the questions on most of your videos are for like level 4 and higher. To me I have prepared for the wrong questions because they were not asked on my level 3 interview.
    some of my questions was :
    tell me a time when you gotten feedback from your co-workers or your bosses in job.
    the next question was tell me a time when you gave feedback to your co-workers and bosses.
    Well I knew how to answered these because That video i watched which was so great wanted me to see how i will behave so they know how I Will act on the future.
    So i used the S T A R method and answered them to my advance :D.
    Anyhow, the best way to answer or prepare these questions is to study the 14 " " 15(hidden) leadership principles and apply that to your answers to demonstrate you are a leader and can lead the team.
    GG , to me if you can I think it will be best if you can
    just make separate videos on how will a
    Level 3 PA interview will go
    Level 3 Yard Marshal interview will go
    Level 4-5 Area manager interview will go
    Level 5-6 Op manger interview will go.
    because later on the line i think I will need to come across those but I literally can not find any videos targeting them specifically.
    I do not know if by design or amazon policy but when i was preparing for my level 3 interview , I could not find any interview for my role on youtube.
    Anyhow, Thanks GG for the wonder informative videos, I really liked the video that tells the hidden leadership principle and the video that teaches about how amazon uses the interview to see WHAT YOU Did in the past instead of what you will do.
    really helped understand the whole logic of it all.
    And also that the first question is an icebreaker and I can just talk about anything and it didnt really matter.
    and also, how the interviewer is typing .. and not to worry about the long pause cause he/she is typing. LOL

      @amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hi there- so I don't cover any specific questions in any of my videos on TH-cam. Both of the questions you reference are Earn Trust questions, these questions you note could be asked of any level. All interviews in Amazon will follow broadly the same structure. Differences will come in 1) any technical competencies needed to be covered in that role 2) the whims of the specific interviewer. I'm working on gathering a collection of 1:2:1 interviews from Amazonians in different roles. There are however thousands of roles in Amazon, so I'm unlikely to get to all of them. Good luck with your result.

      I'd expect your recruiter to explain what is happening in your process. Loop is a series of interviews in close succession so it would be very strange to just schedule one. But that said it would also be strange to have a 3rd early round before loop. You should ask your recruiter for clarification.

I interviewed for an L2 role in April and got email with feedback that I cleared the interview but the position got filled at the time and now I have applied for L1 position and I have an informational interview scheduled on this week with new hiring manager. What can I ask in this interview?

    Hey Gigi, thanks for these videos. I just wanted to say that the information you provide here is valuable; however, since you say & mention a lot of fillers & context, it makes it hard to follow your point. As a suggestion, if you cut these fillers and context in between ideas out, it'll make your videos much easier to go through and follow without having to skip through a blurry cloud of thoughts.

      Thanks for the feedback but I feel that’s part of my charm. My videos are like meeting me and getting to know a real person not just watching a dry corporate video. I get a lot of great feedback for exactly the things you’re not enjoying. I appreciate it may not be for everyone, and I’m sure there are others out there you can watch that have less personality. Good luck with your process.

    SO... I had an interview for a leadership role in 2020 and the interview went well and I was inclined but I did not get the role... the manager that did my interview told my manager that the way I asked my question at the end of the interview implied that the area managers did not do their job. My question was "What is being done to try an encourage people, who are scared of covid, to come to work." His response was it is our job as AMs to make amazon a place people want to come to work... I just responded with that must be hard right now. This was May 2020 so right at the beginning of covid and amazon was offer unlimited time off.

    some people are not great at interviews even though they are talented, have great professional skills, and experienced. Sometimes they fair poorly, but that does not mean they do not have what it takes to be successful for the role, so the the best way to find out is to gauge the candidate's aptitude, and desire to work and prove they can live up to the expectations and even exceed them. Given a chance for a month or 2 they can prove what they can achieve and accomplish. So hire them on probation for 2 months and if they don't prove what they claim they are please let them go. Fair enough ...for both interviewer and interviewee???

    • @amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503
      @amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I wouldn’t do that as a leader- the likely failure rate is high and the resource drain on the existing team of trying to onboard and train someone to have them exit 2 months later would be unsustainable. Although the traditional model of interviews does risk missing good candidates, that risk is acceptable to companies when weighed against the high cost of failure for other models such as this. From your perspective I’d recommend practice, practice, practice. Good interview technique is a skill that can be taught and practiced.

      I help by producing hours of free actionable content that people have used and gotten jobs. Thousands of people haven’t given me a penny/dime/peso/yen/cent etc and gotten a job based only on this TH-cam channel. I’m not “hiding” anything. I just don’t hook people in with vague high level information then slap them around the face with a sales pitch in order to get actionable information. If you want someone who’ll give you half the information than slam you with a sales pitch for the rest, you’re on the wrong channel.

    I can relate to this part of the *Dive Deep* concept. I just like to be prepared or don't like the feeling of not knowing what comes next. I think preparation is a strong key to have for many things and (sort of my) sense of comfort. I tend to stay aware of taking (pre)caution of not diving in too deep🤿 where I'd drown; only just necessarily deep enough where I can “see”🥽 or *Learn and Be Curious* (P.S. I like your segue 11:31 - 11:45).
