Hi Gigi, I would like to thank you, I used this video as my preparation map and it worked! From this video, I saw others that I considered very helpful. Your videos are amazing! I accepted the offer and I am preparing to start on June 27th. Thank you so much!
Hi Gigi! THANK YOU for helping me get an L7 offer this week! All of your videos and your Day1 material were incredibly helpful. I watched them all over the course of two weeks and downloaded content from Day 1 (great stuff). I honestly thought I blew it when my last interviewer was clearly the bar raiser and I'd used all of my best examples that had good metrics. The only thing I'd do different is come prepared with 15 solid success stories that all have really good metrics so I don't have to think of any "good" ones at the last minute. I had mapped each Leadership Principles to one of my success stories in the STAR format. And I had mapped potential questions mentioned, as well. But I wish I'd also worked it backwards and just picked enough DIFFERENT great success stories with metrics and THEN applied leadership principles so I would have had enough variety of examples on tap. Either way, I feel like your preparation videos made all the difference and am sincerely grateful.
did you just just make stuff up? I feel like the average person doesnt have 15 noteworthy success stories they can tell but maybe thats just due to the line of work Ive been in
Hi GG, It has now become a popular thing. So I come here to the hall of fame, to thank you personally for all the tips you share. I followed all of the advices you provided and I have just landed my L4 Internship at Amazon this morning. Thank you so much and for everyone preparing, good luck.
Hey Gigi - although this is my nerdy hobby account, I want to drop a big thank you. You helped me a lot preparing for and learning about the process. This was the single most important video that I used preparing for my panel interview. It tremendously helped structuring the prep time. Many thanks! Yesterday I received an offer for a Lvl 6 position that I happily accepted. Can’t wait to start with Amazon! Thanks again!
Gigi, thank you so much for your content. I spent hours studying it and with your help, I started my L5 role at Amazon on Monday! Thank you so much for everything you do😊
Hi Gigi! I just want to thank you for all your tips! It happened that I was not approved in the panel for a L5 position but in the same day before I get rejected by email the recruiter called me and offered me a similar role for L4 position. This new role wasn't open at that time but today a new rrecruiter contacted me and offered the position! I will accept it anyways! Greetings from Brazil!!
Just had my TPM interview this past Friday. I performed a lot of these steps in preparation for the interviews, I also took copious notes as to better evolve my approach and answers with each interview (5 interview gauntlet). From my (limited) experience, this is very valuable advice and although I found it 24-72 hours too late, it gives me comfort in knowing I was headed in the right direction. 10/10
Hi GG - Commenting on this video because this served as my starting point for my interview prep. I got my offer yesterday and wanted to say a truly heartfelt thank you. I can honestly say that I would not have been able to do this without this channel. Thanks again :)
Very helpful, GiGi. I had my panel yesterday and without your tips / advice I would not have done nearly as well as I did. No answer on the job yet but it went as well as I could have done and I was prepared for just about everything. THANKS!
Hi GiGi. Thank you so much for all your advice. I’ve just received an email that I successfully passed final stage and will be joining Amazon returner programme. I wouldn’t achieve it without your videos.
Hi Gigi, Thank your for helping me get an L6 job offer! Really glad I found your channel and appreciate your generous and valuable insights. Thanks again!
Very good video, thank you. My interview is in 3 days and I wish I had found this video earlier. But I'm still going to try this 10 steps and see what happens.
Very helpful. I’m Interviewing for a different company but this info has been insightful. I had mock interviews with some AWS / Amazon managers so coupled with this I feel confident now!
Always keep in mind one thing..expect the unexpected....for example you may be ready to tell your first story and you get asked "What are your KPIs in the organization"....and moreover one will never be asked "Tell me a situation where you have shown customer obsession"...it will be twisted enough to such an extent that when you actually start narrating multiple leadership principles will come and overlap with one another.. Bottom line ...package your stories well and then take a minute pause to map to that twisted question.
Hi Gigi, thank you for this channel and for helping so many people! I just want to say your channel was A MUST during my interview process. I made it and tomorrow is my first day! :)
Hi Gigi, I’ve watched many of these types of interviews, but your framework is the clearest and most succinct. I have a follow-up question for you. I just advanced from the assessments to my first phone interview. I’m able to pick three separate dates. However, My grandmother just passed away so I’m busy with the funeral for the next few days. Is it terribly bad to push the date out 1.5 weeks? Should I reach out an explain my decision to schedule so far out? Best,
Firstly I’m so sorry for your loss. Grannies are very special. If you feel you need the time, then absolutely you should contact your recruiter and make the request. They’re human too and will also have/had a Granny. May her soul rest in peace 🙏
Hi GG! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and content to help get us through this process! I'm going for my 1st phone interview for an L5 role and super excited and nervous all at once! I can't wait to share my results and hopeful they will have a positive outcome following your guidelines. Keep up the awesome video content! TY :)
Hi Gigi, Amazingly helpful video, thank you so much. I have my first interview later this week directly with the Hiring Manager. I'm working on the preparation by following all your steps, but would you add anything else bearing in mind the first interview with the HM probably has a lot to do with my skills and fit? Thank you!
Gigi - your videos were so helpful to me and I wanted to say thanks. I had my loop on Friday for an L6 role. I fumbled and underperformed my last interview of the day. I was so brain dead and exhausted. But I did well In my interviews earlier in the day with the bar raiser and hiring manager. Am I done for?
Hi Gigi, thank you so much for your wonderful tips! My loop is coming up next week and I am preparing for examples for each leadership principles but I am struggling to think of examples for principles like strive to be earth's best employer, success and scale, hire and develop the best. I am not going for a managerial position, do you think I can skip preparing for these principles. If not, any suggestions to over overcome my struggle? I think the important ones that I have identified for the job role are - bias for action, have a back bone, frugality and insist on higher standards
Since July I've only had 1 person say they've been asked a question on the 2 new LPs. So I think you're fine to skip those. On H&DTB if you're not a manager then try to think about an example where you helped teach a colleague a new skill, or supported them to lean something new.
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 thank you! Also, do you have any tips on what kind of questions I ask the interviewer at the end of each round of interview in the loop? I used your last tips and that really helped 😊
Hi Gigi. Thank you for the content! I have an interview coming up. Is 45 seconds too much of a pause before answering the behavioural question? Honestly, half of the seconds is to calm my nerves, really. And I observed that this gave me enough time to calm down, collect my thoughts and perfectly deliver the answer without going off track. But I’m afraid it’s too much of a time before every question. I would appreciate your guidance. Thank you!
No absolutely don’t do that! They’re not testing to see if you can identify the LPs, they’re looking for evidence that you demonstrate behaviours in line with the LPs.
Hi Gigi I have been going through your videos in preparation for my loop interviews, very helpful material thank you. Would i be asked the introductory questions on all 5 rounds?
Hi do you have any insight for the interview for the AFP program. I did the interview, used all the suggested, techniques, thought I aced it but didn't receive an offer.

Hi Gigi, I want you to know that you're doing really amazing by helping alot of people like me who want to work for Amazon. That being said, I recently got a call from the recruiter for PM II role and then I had phone screening with the hiring manager on 8th December 2023. I was told that there will be an interview and the feedback from hiring manager was positive. But I haven't received any calls yet for the interview. I'm not sure what does that mean because this isn't the first time Amazon recruitment team has ghosted me after the call. Could you please help here and let me know what could be the case? Thank you.
Give them a chance. The 8th was a Friday 9th/10th a weekend. 11th was yesterday. So they’ve had 1 day so far to arrange the next step….Give them a few more days and then send a polite follow up. Good luck
hi Gigi, thanks a lot for the insightful video; really appreciated; any particular advice or recommendations for Legal counsel interviews? when applying the customer obsession principle, shall we focus on our internal customers (e.g. business) or the end customer of Amazon? Thanks!
A lot of sites and AWS' own recommendations say to have 2 unique stories for each leadership principle but it seems like you're saying 10 or so is enough. On your blog, it also says not to repeat stories. 10 doesn't feel like it would be enough but 32 unique stories from the last 5-6 years feel overwhelming. What is the sweet spot?
@@amazoninterviewwhizzdayone503 Thanks for the reply! Maybe I misunderstood in this video but it sounded like 10. I think I have about 20 stories. Can I reuse the ones I had on my phone screen or do they need to be unique?
@@jesse4036 different schools of thought on this. Some interviewers are fine with it, others aren’t. Best course to cover all eventualities is to avoid if possible, if not possible use it for a very different LP than you did the last time. Good luck
I say get rid of anything that IS NOT contextual or behavioural. Contextual means any information that is needed to make the story make sense. For example “I stubbed my toe”= context “I screamed and swore like a sailor”= behaviour. If I told you “I screamed and swore like a sailor” - it lacks any context as to what was going on that led to that behaviour so it doesn’t make sense.
Hi GG, I am still in the interview process, my second interview is this week. i went to the job description and it seems that the job opening on which i applied is now deactivated. Is it normal? What can i expect ?
Normal as in does it happen in the majority of cases….no. Does it sometimes happen…yes. A few possibilities 1) they’re reprioritising the recruiters time and are pausing bringing new people into the pipeline 2) the JD is being updated 3) they’ve filled the role. If the role is filled you’d hear about it pretty quickly
Hi GG, a very quick question on this. Will I be asked same questions by all the interviewers across the 5 rounds? As in the first round itself I was asked most of the questions by the hiring manager. Can I repeat same examples at least couple of times across all the 5 interview rounds? How do I understand that I am giving a bar raiser round vs one of the 5 rounds? Can I use some personal life situations or everything has to be part of my professional life?
GG i failed AWS 1 month ago but now i got an opportunity with microsoft. first round tomorrow. i see similar interview hiring process.bit scared because amazon hiring process of 2months broke my confidence.it took so much energy out of me. can you suggest how to bounce back. can i do private coaching with you?

Hi GG, a very quick question on this. Will I be asked same questions by all the interviewers across the 5 rounds? As in the first round itself I was asked most of the questions by the hiring manager. Can I repeat same examples at least couple of times across all the 5 interview rounds? How do I understand that I am giving a bar raiser round vs one of the 5 rounds? Can I use some personal life situations or everything has to be part of my professional life?

I am wondering how many days of work is this :)
The average candidate preps 20-30 hrs. How many days this takes is of course dependant on how many hours you do a day.
Alguém Brasil ?
