Preparation Strategies
A recruiter makes the first judgment on a candidate. Prepare by looking at his LinkedIn profile. Offer examples from your past work to demonstrate customer obsession and data-driven skills.
The Interview and Evaluation
Amazon uses a Bar Raiser program to evaluate candidates against its Leadership Principles, ensuring innovation and culture fit. First, understand the stages of the process. Amazon only interviews people it wants to hire. The process further assesses culture fit.
Resumes and Communication
Use keywords and action verbs in your resume and interviews to effectively highlight your skills and abilities.
If you get an offer, a compensation committee will review negotiations. Salary negotiation unlocks big offers at big companies.
Applying for Hourly Roles
When applying for hourly roles, you don’t need a resume initially. The process differs for customer service roles. Our online application consists of providing information about yourself and selecting your preferred shift. Bring proof of identity and eligibility to a 30-minute New Hire Event. This is part of applying, you don’t get paid.
Connecting with Recruiters
To connect with recruiters, stay active on professional social media sites. Some recruiters may assist in preparing for the interview. Referrals boost your chances of getting an interview call.
