Reviewing & using The Amazon Leadership Principles is a great place to start when preparing for the Amazon Behavioral Interviews. Intuitive reading of the principles along with the descriptions provides a LOT of guidance on how to answer these questions. The types of answers and the focus for how you present your stories is key to addressing any of those principles.
We will go over each of these principles, identify the key points & then write stories for them. We’ll practice telling your stories and also to drill down into them. Being able to answer the deeper questions increases your score with the interviewer.
Amazon’s Interview Structure
Each interviewer is also given two of the principles to focus on, so having 4 interviews plus the Bar Raiser, the 4 interviewers will cover 8 of the 17 principles. The Bar Raiser is all about how you fit in the culture at Amazon and how would you raise expectations for all the people around you.
I have been doing interview coaching with candidates for all the FAANG companies now for more than 2 years. I cover a lot of the questions that I and other interviewers have asked candidates over the 1000+ interviews I participated in. And I know I can work with you on how to format your answers as stories to get the best results from your interviews.
Tame the Amazon Behavioral Interviews
Amazon Behavioral Interviews are just another animal that can be tamed with targeted work and repetition. Doing mock interviews covering these common questions will get you ready for the big day. The interviewers will ask probing deep dive questions to focus on the specifics of the areas they’re covering. The mock interviews will do the same and get you ready for the big day.
