Amazon interview course: from A to Z

$250

Amazon interview course

As you'd expect from a trillion-dollar company, Amazon has a rigorous and unique recruiting process. We worked with former Amazon bar raisers and recruiters to put together the curriculum :

Amazon recruiting process: Navigate the process with ease with practical suggestions from Amazon recruiters
Amazon Leadership Principles: Learn what each principle means and adopt the repeatable framework that top candidates use — and ditch STAR
Written assignment: What is required to succeed

This course covers the Amazon behavioral interview across all roles and includes access to our community where you can view interview questions separately.

Chatham House rules apply.

To ensure insights can be shared honestly and sincerely, this courses requires a commitment to confidentiality. More about Chatham House Rules
