Cracking the Amazon Interview: A Step by Step Guide to Land the Job
The Ultimate Guide to Land a Job at Amazon
While we cannot predict every question that Amazon will ask in an interview, the process is fairly structured. This makes the interview process transparent and easy to prepare for because we know many of the themes they will cover and questions they will ask. Imagine if your teacher in university told you most of the questions that were going to be on the test beforehand - all you would have to do is practice. Consider this book your study guide. What You'll -How to supercharge your resume and tailor keywords to get noticed by Amazon hiring managers -Tips to answer Amazon's behavioral interview questions -A breakdown of Amazon's famous 14 leadership principles -Understand the Amazon business model (the "flywheel") and how it relates to the interview -Common pitfalls and how to avoid them -Perspectives from Amazon hiring managers across the world And much more! What People Are Saying "If you have interviewed with Amazon much of this book will resonate with you. From understanding the corporate values and principles to using the STAR method for your storytelling, it is a great resource" - David "Not only is it a great guide but an excellent resource too. This is a must read for anyone considering applying at Amazon." - Jeremy "Introduction of key concepts, framed well, and clear guidance on the importance of each. A great starting point for preparation." --Dill

Useful content that would fit better in a few blog articles.

This book really helped me in understanding how these big techs hire and what are they looking for. Hiring the right candidate is equally challenging to get hired.

Just what I needed for interview prep
Too soon to tell if I have gotten an offer yet but I can tell you one thing - I was OVERLY prepared for my virtual loop interviews and had no problem answering every question completely. Well worth the time and money. Thank you!

Not a fan of the book. I compared the advice of the book with a friend who works there and was told there are a few items in the book that will be a red flag in an interview and prevent someone from moving forward in the process. Better to be yourself and if you fit into the Amazon culture, you will get the job, if not, better off searching elsewhere.

I read the book because it is free under one month of Kindle unlimited trial. It is pretty informative. Though I suspect readers could find similar information in online articles.
