Hello GiGi, Thank you so much for all your amazing Amazon training tips! I binge watched 10-12 of your Amazon interview tips and some of the advice you gave, really helped me. My favorite was the your "Pro -Tip" from one of you clients to use a poster board (with all your stories) behind or near your screen for virtual interviews. I followed that strategy and my interviews went brilliantly! 😊
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Thanks to your tips and tricks, and lots of studying Amazon culture, I got the job offer as well! I have one week to decide! weighing all the pro's and cons!
Thank you GG, I just passed my first technical round, and I'm working really hard to pass my panel round. Your videos has been a blessing for my prepping journey! 🙏
Hi GG, I finished my interview loop on April 18 and received an offer on April 25! This has been the toughest job market I've experienced in a long time and I had almost lost all hope. I was laid off in November 2022 and have been unemployed for almost a year and a half! Your videos made the biggest difference in my interview preparation and I am forever grateful! They were so informative and easy to follow. The interview process at Amazon can be overwhelming, but your videos, especially your Tips and Tricks videos, had the information I needed to help me get the offer. Thank you so much!
This was a great video and makes me a little less nervous about my interview next week as I feel like I know a bit more about what to expect! Thank you for putting out all of this great content!
hey GG, this is such a relief , so glad to know I am not alone at least at 2 things: 1. not only my daughter throws her socks everywhere; 2. I am not the only own who goes crazy when accidentally finds them.. You are adorable!
LOL- it's so good to know we're not alone in our torture!! I'm sure Dante missed a 10th circle of hell which is Discarded Socks. I'm certain I share too much on this channel and if my husband and kids ever decided to plough through it, I'd be living alone... but at least I guess that means no discarded socks and underwear....oh boy don't get me started on the underwear!!!
GG I don't know if you'll recall my comment under one of your videos regarding whether an intern's interview and that of a senior role are similar. I was applying for a Technical Program Manager Internship role. GG I GOT IT! I'M CRYING AND SNORTING AND SLOBBING!!!!!!!!! you did it! Thank you for this and all that you do!!!! God Bless you! Love from South Africa
"CRYING AND SNORTING AND SLOBBING!!!!!!!!! "- I'm a visual thinker and you've painted a brilliant picture. Really made me laugh. Congratulations- if a stranger's pride in you means anything, I'm very proud of you. It was a privilege to have been able to support you on achieving your goal.
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Thank you, GG. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for these videos. You are a gem! I have since dried my snot and wiped my tears! :D
Hey GG! Thank you for creating these videos. I have my 2nd interview today with AWS and your videos have helped settle down my nerves. Whether I do a great job or not today during the interview, your videos have helped shape me during any interview process and I am forever grateful for your candor and insights!
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 my interview with the hiring manager went incredible in my opinion although I had a power outage in between! At the end he said I look forward to speaking with you soon which I have always seen as a great signal for next rounds!
Hi GG, Thank you so much for this video. I've been trying to find a video that talks about the first screening interview for a while now and you came to my rescue. I've been following you and watching your videos and want to thank you for your to the point topics. I have my interview tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
Hi GG, as always thanks for your videos. They helped a lot. I finished my loop yesterday and now I'm more nervous than before the interview 😖 I'm constantly thinking what impression I would have made and what decision they'll take. Seems to be never ending 😂😂
Hi GG! Thank you for all your awesome content. I passed both my phone screen interviews for an L5 position. Thanks to your channel I have my Loop interview next week! Question for you: for both my phone screen interviews , the managers read out the LP, defined it and then asked two questions per LP. In your experience, will they also define the LP before asking questions during the Loop interview? Or is that unlikely now that the BR will be there as well
I think this may fall under the category of “teams doing their own thing”. It’s certainly not standard practice but in that 2 team members did exactly the same thing, it could be a team thing. The Bar Raiser probably won’t do it but they’re not in the room for the rest of the interviews other than their own.
hi GG!! Been watching all your awesome videos for several months now :) you're the best!! simply the best !! all our tips have helped me frame my responses better. wanted to get your thoughts on a question - is is common for the phone screening round for TPM to not have any systems design questions? or even more than one behavioral question? thanks again for all your support to so many of us prepping hard :) take care !!
Most TPM candidates I’ve spoken with have had a systems design question in early rounds but not always round 1. There is so much variability in the process theses days- not like in my day (as my least favourite grandma would say….all the time 🥱)
Hello GG!!! Thank you Thank you x100 for all of your beyond wonderful content!!!! I have been out of work for 6 months (and my unemployment has run out) so once I get my my first PAY CHECK FROM AMAZON I WILL BE HITING THAT "THANK YOU" BUTTON SO HARD!!!! ON EVERY SINGLE VIDEO I HAVE WATCHED!!!! 😃
Hi Gigi, Thank you for the great videos! I made it to the final interview for an internship role. What percentage of candidates at this stage get an offer? Would love to know my chances. Best
I just completed my first interview with the technical customer support manager. Interview took 40 mins. I believe it went reasonable well. We will have to see haha
Hi GG! Great video as usual! Thanks a lot! Can you please make a video on what to expect from a Sr. Product Manager Technical, MBA grad opportunity interview process? What kind of technical prowess should one have to clear this interview? Thanks in advance! :)
Hi- We don’t focus on technical requirements for specific roles on this channel. We focus on content that is universally applicable so it’s relevant for as many people as possible. Sorry.
Hi GG, Thanks for all your videos. They are super helpful. I have my onsite next week and your videos have been helping a lot. I had a couple of questions: 1. I've had two phone interviews and both my phone interviewers are on the loop panel again. What does this mean? 2. Since 2 interviewers are same, can I repeat my stories with the same interviewers in case I can't find any other story? It might not give them any new data points
Hello GG, I got an offer! Many thanks for your awesome tips, tricks and cheats. I have been binge watching your content and I can't stress how insightful it is. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into making these videos.
Hi GG! Thank you so much for your videos and help! I have my first phone screen on Wednesday here in Italy (I already did my screen with the recruiter) and the recruiter said it will be a mix of behavioural and functional questions. I applied for a role or Label Relations Manager at Amazon Music and this is a non-tech role… what type of functional questions could I expect in this case? Thank you for your videos again!
Hi GG, two questions please: 1). Is the interview process similar in all countries? 2). How long ago did you leave Amazon (is there a chance their policies re: interviews have changed)?
1) the same globally 2) the process changes in tiny ways frequently with team testing new things but the fundamentals don’t change. Plus we have many contacts inside amazon who keep us up to date with changes
Hi GG, I have a son so finding random clothing articles in odd places is a given. Depending on how long they have been there is where it will fall on the smell scale! I have already met with the recruiter and have my first real interview next week. It doesn't seem to be with the hiring manager so I'm thinking a co-worker. It is for a Sr PM role and I'm very excited! Do you have any insights on what behavioral questions this first round may contain from a potential peer? I did also join the whiz academy and am watching the videos to prepare. Thank you so much
Hey Renee- what they ask will be dependent on the most important LPs for the role as determined by the Hiring Manager and then the preferred questions that the interviewer likes to ask from those LPs. There’s no way for anyone to predict which they’ll be. Good luck
Yeah- at loop it’s often used for a warm up question. My position isn’t that it shouldn’t ever be asked- rather that it isn’t evidence of your ability to raise the bar on the leadership principles. At final stage it gets used as a warm up question rather than as evidence and that’s perfectly reasonable.
Please GG answer this question--I am interviewing for a "Finance Manager" role...I originally applied for 3 other finance manager roles in different departments, they were remote! Sourcer e-mailed me and said we really want to interview you...THIS ROLE, still a finance manger role, still 100% remote (there is no physical location in my city), but in this department "Traffic & Marketing Tech" Didn't apply for this department? No clue what they do? Will have to look it up? Watched your "Why Amazon video?" I do think that is a super important question to get right...depending on what this department does, I am afraid I will have nothing to relate to this department, and I am seriously going to fail my first interview/phone screen and be the 1-2/10 that don't make it past round 1. I KNOW I CAN GET THIS JOB, I exceed all of the minimum requirements for the roll and all of the preferred. I understand what I am expected to deliver from your videos...I have examples. I am overthinking this. My nerves will get the best of me. I will stumble on my words. I will ramble.
If you don’t know anything about the department either 1) ask for information or 2) skip that bit in the why amazon. You can always tell your interviewer that you were approached by a sourcer you don’t have much info on the team and you’re excited to use this interview as an opportunity to find out more
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Ok, thank you. I am going to read over the JD again and see if it tells me anything? or 2, see if I can read up anything about it on google, otherwise! THANK YOU for this advise! I am writing it down now :)
Hi I'm having a 2nd round of interview with Amazon for senior HSE manager.. On which principles I should be clear with for my role.. I'm preparing for all principles but I seriously feel there is no end to these leadership principle questions.
Ask your recruiter they might tell you- some do some don’t. Otherwise here’s how to try to work it out yourself th-cam.com/play/PLbTV6GsDfNaaPSyC0x62eZfwzit50V8Sh.html
Also, when you talk about the 3 options in this video and you say the "AWS first interview" are you talking about the phone screening here? OR the first interview following the phone screening? Right now, I have completed and passed the assessment, and I have been invited to schedule a phone screening. I am going to schedule it for Tuesday at the earliest. I work a Hybrid schedule currently and would rather do it on my lunch when I am at my home...my problem I think is I am taking in TOO MUCH INFORMATION on the amazon interview process? and I don't know what will vs. will not be covered during the phone screening vs. later parts of the interview process, if I am not one of the 1-2/10 that are turned down after round 1. GG-I am going to reach out to you via Linkedin messages on your amazon wizz page? I follow you there as well? I was on your biz page...I think I would benefit from some 1/1 help from you or else I will fail for sure. I am totally overwhelmed at this point and I just need some 1/1 support please and thank you.
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Ok, so this video I watched here, "first interview" AKA first phone screen, going over the 3 possible options, I paid close attention to option 3 because I am being interviewed for a non-tech role, BUT I took notes on all 3...is going to be what I should expect for my first phone screen coming up this week. Ok excellent. THANK YOU for this response. This gives me something to focus on, rather than me watching all of the videos and getting overwhelmed with info that will not be covered at this point. Ok, so good to know, I will be speaking with a HM in the department or a team member from the department and NOT A RECRUITER OR SOURCER? OMG A TEAM MEMBER? are they trained on interviewing candidates I take it??? I wonder if I'm likely to get tons of those questions from your ummmm video on what was it called???amazon questions you should not get? but it tells me how to handle it?
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 I am sorry, one more thing then I will leave you alone for the DAY I promise!!! Ok, so now that I know for the first interview AKA first phone screen I need to focus exclusively on this video and write down all of the information in this video in my notes...now for the "walk me through your resume" What I am used to is typically, tell me what were your daily tasks in your most recent 2 jobs? (I'm assuming for Amazon I will of course relate that to the job description, which I have already done since I have tailored my resume to the JD) and in my response I will relate it to the leadership principals as well? Now in SOME not all interviews the interviewer will go through the rest of my resume and say you worked at this org and did this role from date X-Y? and just repeat this all the way down my resume, and confirm my education in some instances, tech requirements if the role required? etc.? Is this similar for the amazon "Resume deep dive" or should I be prepared for something else? ***I am also going to be prepared with 10 projects from my last 2 roles that relate to the role responsibilities AND as many leadership principals as I can. Put your best foot forward in interview 1, to not get rejected early on, give your best examples first to also not get rejected early! Will watch again and remember the questions and prepare answers!
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Ok, I am sorry, this is REALLY the last thing...and then I will get back to my preparing and I am going to watch this video like 15 more times...when I am giving my examples in this first phone screen or the next interview (because I am going to knock this out of the park and I WILL be moving on) 😃 As an example, I don' have the leadership principals in front of me but I know the first one was customer service being at the forefront. When I was working at Cap1, we also had a operating principal that customer service and building strong and long term client relationships was of the up most importance! So when I am giving examples of my projects and/or an example and answering a question and I am incorporating a leadership principal should I say--I utilized Amazon leadership principal X and specifically name it? So it is super clear to the interviewer? (I don't want to leave anything up to interpretation-that I know them, reviewed them, or that I have demonstrated them in my most previous roles)! What do you recommend here please? ***Because even on my first interview/phone screen when I am going over my projects-I want to be brief but I want to explain that I used the leadership principals to demonstrate I know them/and have used them.
@@ebendus NO. Don’t LP drop. You need to evidence the LP behaviour. Just saying “I showed Customer Obsession” isn’t evidence you did- you need to explain HOW you behaved. And why would you want to be brief? You can’t demonstrate evidence of your behaviours by being brief.
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 it's been a while, but now i can confidently say just how great the content on this channel is :) thanks to your videos i knew how the process works in general, even when some of the recruiters weren't very responsive. i also knew what LPs to focus on, when they might repeat, and how many stories to prepare realistically. when two teams tried to schedule separate loops, i knew that a split loop is possible and how it works. i knew what the interviews' general structure is and what to expect. and eventually i got an L6 offer! so thanks so much again for all the great content. that like i clicked was well deserved :D

@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Ok, I am sorry, this is REALLY the last thing...and then I will get back to my preparing and I am going to watch this video like 15 more times...when I am giving my examples in this first phone screen or the next interview (because I am going to knock this out of the park and I WILL be moving on) 😃 As an example, I don' have the leadership principals in front of me but I know the first one was customer service being at the forefront. When I was working at Cap1, we also had a operating principal that customer service and building strong and long term client relationships was of the up most importance! So when I am giving examples of my projects and/or an example and answering a question and I am incorporating a leadership principal should I say--I utilized Amazon leadership principal X and specifically name it? So it is super clear to the interviewer? (I don't want to leave anything up to interpretation-that I know them, reviewed them, or that I have demonstrated them in my most previous roles)! What do you recommend here please? ***Because even on my first interview/phone screen when I am going over my projects-I want to be brief but I want to explain that I used the leadership principals to demonstrate I know them/and have used them.
@@ebendus NO. Don’t LP drop. You need to evidence the LP behaviour. Just saying “I showed Customer Obsession” isn’t evidence you did- you need to explain HOW you behaved. And why would you want to be brief? You can’t demonstrate evidence of your behaviours by being brief.
Hi GG! Can you talk about Tech U program please?
As far as I’m aware the methodology for interviewing is the same.
can you put a video for the limitations of attending Amazon online assements in detail
Sorry I don’t understand the question.
Hi Gg, you refer to 16 amazon leadership principles, isnt it 14?
No.

If evidence it's telling stories that you will not be able to verify, I do not think it is evidence and the best approach to interview

clicked like for the socks
I’m sad the quality of the content wasn’t enough to deserve the like but hey this girl will take all the likes she can get 😁
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 hahahaha oh no, the quality is great as well, loved the detailed explanation. definitely raising the bar.
@@alexf0101 ahhhh thank you 🙏
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 it's been a while, but now i can confidently say just how great the content on this channel is :) thanks to your videos i knew how the process works in general, even when some of the recruiters weren't very responsive. i also knew what LPs to focus on, when they might repeat, and how many stories to prepare realistically. when two teams tried to schedule separate loops, i knew that a split loop is possible and how it works. i knew what the interviews' general structure is and what to expect. and eventually i got an L6 offer! so thanks so much again for all the great content. that like i clicked was well deserved :D
