I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Apr 2011
Interview
I interviewed initially with a recruiter over the phone. It was 40 minutes and very engaging. I was asked to give a quick summation of what I had done in the last two years. I landed an in-person interview from the phone call. I'm transitioning out of the military so it was a little difficult to translate my military skills to the civilian world but it seemed to go well and I'll see how the on site interviews go.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Quickly describe the last two years and what you have done to increase production or productivity.
All virtual. STAR interview questions (situation task action result). Think of examples of tough situations you had to deal with. I think I had 2 or 3 interviews before I got an offer. Pretty smooth process overall.
or an Amazon Level 4 (L4) Area Manager phone interview, you will face 2 to 3 main behavioral questions, alongside a highly possible operational math screening question. Because L4 is typically an entry-level management role (often targeted at recent college graduates or individuals with early-stage leadership experience), the focus shifts heavily toward potential, basic problem-solving, and your ability to lead groups of people
STAR method is a must. very results focused so add what you contributed. had 3 back to back interviews that were quick and they spent most of the time reading and taking notes
