Featured Success Story
“I was managing to secure interviews but was struggling to get an offer. My coach’s honest and frank feedback has been invaluable and after working with him, following his methods and doing his course I finally got an offer. I even used a salary negotiating technique he taught me and I got an offer 20% above what I was happy to accept.I would highly recommend his 1-2-1 coaching and his course”.
Peter – Business Development Manager (UK)
“My coach was very emotionally intelligent and smart guy and helped me to understand how to make more of my natural strengths, and give better answers to tough questions. He’s got a very systematic approach that ensures you are thoroughly prepared, but he’s also very friendly and reassuring in his delivery. In the end I got the job – the help Job Interviewology gave me definitely contributed towards this positive result. I would certainly work with them again!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Amazon Interview Coaching FAQ
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR AN AMAZON INTERVIEW?
Professionals always ask us for Amazon interview tips, and our biggest one is treat it like any other interview, don’t put too much pressure on yourself as it’s important to be as relaxed as possible. Our Amazon interview coaching focuses on the importance of having a calm mental state as well as smart targeted preparation.
Amazon interview’s will consist of a mixture of competency, strength based and hypothetical scenarios. It’s important make sure that you integrate the 16 Amazon leadership principles in to your answers as these are the soft skills criteria that they are grading you by. Another one of our top Amazon interview tips is not to be afraid to challenge the interviewer or ask for more information. Again your ability to do that will partly depend on ensuring that you’re relaxed in the interview and therefore have the presence of mind.
HOW MANY ROUNDS IS AN AMAZON INTERVIEW?
Amazon Interviews are typically three stages depending on the role. If you have been invited to interview you will be told in advance. This could consist of the following depending on the role: an initial telephone interview, a technical interview, a technical test and a competency based interview (with some strength based questions thrown in for good measure). The final stage will consist of a loop interview where you will be interviewed by 4-5 different people separately in one session. Additional you will have answer a written behavioural interview question 48 hours prior to the loop interview. Our Amazon interview coaching strategy for your will be based on the types of interviews. We will then build a bespoke plan with you to help you perform at your very best.
WHAT DO THEY ASK AT AN AMAZON INTERVIEW?
There will be predominantly be competency based questions as well as your typical ice breaker questions such as “Why do you want to work for Amazon?” and “Talk me through your Resume?” or “Tell us a about yourself?”. If you’re going for a more technical role be prepared for a grilling. It’s vital that you’re not only able to give them the What and How but importantly the Why! In our Amazon interview coaching sessions we will focus on preparing in such a way that you are fully prepared for such a scenario. We recommend you read up on our list of amazon interview questions & answers.
What improvements can I expect after completing an Amazon interview coaching session?
You will be able to do the following:
- Answer the amazon leadership principle questions with confidence.
- Have examples which are between 7-8 minutes long which is the recommended length of an amazon interview answer.
- Increase interview resilience for the 4 hour Loop interview.
- Speak with gravitas.
IS AN AMAZON INTERVIEW EASIER THAN GOOGLE?
Firstly with technical interviews, if you’re technically sound you shouldn’t find the technical interview too daunting, because putting it simply if you’re deficient they will find out (this is why being relaxed and having the presence of mind is so important in this situation to be able to respond and solve the problem they present to you). Therefore the level of difficulty of either technical interview will depend partly on your ability.
In saying that, with the competency based interview and general soft skills interview both are more or less equal. The important thing is ensuring that you prepare properly. This is why in our Google interview coaching and Amazon coaching our focus in training you to present the strongest version of yourself.
HOW LONG IS THE AMAZON INTERVIEW PROCESS?
Once you get invited for an interview the process can move quite fast from the initial first stage interview to the second or final interview. If you are going for a Senior role or a highly specialised role it might be the case that Amazon fly you in for a face to face interview, this can of course delay things. Amazon and AWS (Amazon Web Services) usually has a two stage interview process however sometimes can be pushed to a third. If it is a three stage interview it’s very likely that one of the stages will consist of a strong technical focus. From our years of Amazon interview coaching experience we know that the other rounds will consist predominantly with strength, behavioural and hypothetical questions and in some cases even a case study.
WHY DOES AMAZON USE COMPETENCY-BASED INTERVIEWING
Amazon uses Competency based Interviews to measure whether your experiences align with the role and their 16 leadership principles. Since the principles are predominantly behavioural, competency questions are the most effective way to assess your experiences. Our Amazon interview coaching will focus on helping you to prepare strong stories for your loop interview.

Amazon like all the FAANG companies are highly sought after and therefore extremely competitive. This is why we recommend you consider an Amazon interview preparation course from us or even some FAANG interview coaching.
How long should an Amazon star answer be?
A high quality response to an Amazon competency question during interview is between 7-8 minutes. Yes, that’s correct, it’s that long! However this doesn’t mean that you waffle aimlessly for 8 minutes. Your answer has to be of high quality and pre-emptively cover the interviewers follow up questions. Hence you give them a rich and complete response where they have nothing further to ask, other than to move on to the next question.
