Hi Dan, i gave an Amazon interview by seeing your videos, it helped me a lot, but i couldnot answer 1 particular question. Question - "Suppose if a customer asks you a question which you are not aware of, or is out of scope of your department, then how would you handle it"..The answer i gave was," I will see if i can check for the query in any internal portal, if not i will ask the specific department for solutions and will give relevant answers, giving the customer a timeframe for resolution". I am not sure, if this was a correct answer or not.
I am a little confused. Are you saying people are using AI prior to interviews to generate inauthentic-sounding scripts which they read verbatim during the interview? I would think having a script in general is a poor idea (vs organically speaking), whether the script has been "optimized" by AI or not. Am I understanding what you're saying?
Yes
Thanks!
I am quitting midway, you have too many adds. It’s absolutely fine to have adds but not after each question. It’s preposterous.
Thank you for the effort put into this video and the wise counsel.
I wish I see this one week ago. I was asked about tough workplace situation, didn't know what to say. Was interviewing for E6 role, with ~$600K/year total comp. I'm wondering if I gonna be downleveled because of that. Still looking forward to the final decision from them. For the technical part I wasn't bad IMO.
How to brag better (self advocacy) about myself when i don't have work experience in a positive way but create impact during interview with some examples so that it can lead to high salary.. which books would help in this scenario ..
Just finished my panel interview. Preparing with these questions helped me ace it.
Appreciate you keeping up with those , despite as you said a lot of people going to GenAI for answers. One point I wonder why none or almost of these videos focus on Sales roles... it is almost always a PM or a SW engineer focused. I get it that it's based on yours and others background, but Ive must have watched a few dozen clips...and still looking for a Tech Sales role oriented help.
Any role at aws is a sales role 😉
not knowing how to use AI these days is an actual weakness
Sir what would be some best books to read for getting a job after a big career gap of 5 yrs as hvac engineer.. i have relevant skills so which books can help in networking and attracting high salary as fresher..
lovely videos!! thanks so much Dan, always the best guidance!
Taking care of our folks! No, Taking care of your guest!
Hello there, Nice to see your content you are really doing well❤. I am a video editor but here I notice video editing part video editing can convert your content to Next Level and Viral if your videos look attractive then you can get huge engagement and convert your revenue/channel growth 5x more. I also do Thumbnails design, Video SEO and I am a video editor. If your say then I will do for it with 100% satisfaction, its not video editing it about telling a story about your self business or may be the world around in today's everyone try to tell there own story but sometimes words are not enough and the come video editing and I am also able to provide a trial🎬can I?
Understranding why this question is asked is very helpful. Thank you!
Hi Dan! Everything you said worked! Thanks so much!!!!
cant even understand your english.
Did you try Closed Captions?
Well explained , I found this very helpful
Thank you!
Hi Dan. Looking at Microsoft job listings, they don't seem to be terribly consistent in terms of naming for the Product/Program Manager roles in that some have the "technical" word in the job title, and some do not. And in many cases, the job descriptions for the roles that don't have "technical" in the title are at least as or if not more "technical" in terms of requirements. Searching for info online there seems to be a lot of confusion even among ex/current Microsoft employees regarding this topic. Most say they're all the same role, essentially, and that the responsibilities only differ depending on the team/org where you happen to find yourself. Do you happen to know if these roles have the same "levelling" ladder behind them or if a "re-slot" is required if you want to jump from one to another (as it's the case within companies such as amazon, where there's a clear distinction between a PM and a TPM). PS: love the videos, thank you
interesting insights, thank you for sharing
Why is the cause of the problem
Just had my interview and it went really well! This video helped me out a lot.
Dont bother with Amazon, seriously.
Hey Dan, any chance you could share the "6% remainder" of the F.A.Q. in Amazon interviews? I have deconstructed the job description and this is the result (LP, # of occurence in job desc): Customer Obsession, 8; Earn Trust, 5; Ownership, 4; Think Big, 4; Deliver Results, 4; Invent and Simplify, 3; Dive Deep, 3; Bias for Action, 2; Insist on the Highest Standards, 2; Are Right, A Lot, 2; Learn and Be Curious, 2; Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit, 1; Hire and Develop the Best, 1. Thank you very much in advance
Six printed pages is written as: 6pp not 6pg unless writing an extra a and e is too much effort...
No one should work at Amazon your health will decline!
I am sorry to say but i did not find exact answers but how to , if you could add precise example . Communication and trust are very high level also there could be EMs , project maangers giving these rounds and approach could be different . Would love if you can address in a follow up video
😆
Jeff Bezo said “We’re not going to raise our prices.” Amazon prices are thru the roof on so many products. Not to mention the excessive costs charged to the third party sellers. which is passed on to the customers.
I studied your videos to prepare for an interview and just got the call I landed my dream job! Thanks for all you do!!!
on question 6. are you saying that it would be a mistake to answer the show grit question by describing a story closely related to my field of expertise? are you saying to choose a story that is not related to my area of expertise?
I think he's saying answering with something related would avoid a mistake
@@dmitch1983 Your comment just confused me more. I think he is saying that you don't want to fall into the trap of answering using a story within the realm of your own expertise. Instead, you want to answer using an example that would be interesting to the interviewer, such as something related in the job posting. Would you agree?
Had three straight interviews in different companies never asked the question what can u tell us about yourself.
Thanks for this Dan, do you have any videos that talk about what “good questions” look like?
Thank you for your questions. Halfway through the video, I got disinterested because it primarily focused on "what not to say" rather than providing specific examples or scenarios that illustrate what hiring managers typically expect. As a candidate, it would be helpful to see more examples to better understand how to effectively prepare myself for the hiring process.
I’ve got 6 days to submit a virtual interview for an Amazon RME position. If this works, I’m coming back to let you know.
thank you, this was helpful!!
Good luck!
Have my interview tomorrow. Thank you so much for this!
Good luck!
How was your interview
@@aarondixon691 I have the next interview Tuesday
Good chance I get a flight to Seattle.

this hurt :/
So you are telling me that if you have to do more than 1 week(timestamp 3m20) of Leetcode, you are not a strong candidate?
Only for FAANG companies.
leetcode is trash and I wouldn’t recommend interviewing for companies that rely on that as a skill assessment
Hi Dan, come back to see your video again for my next internal int!
Good luck!
@@DanCroitor it was not easy for the first internal interview. The interviewer was my counterpart then the questions were unpredictable. How to deal with internal interviewers, some of them we were familiar somehow. Highly appreciate
This video is not boring. More like this please!
Thanks so much Dan for all your videos and help. I am more confident and feel well-prepared. Please wish me luck. Your blessings and wishes are golden for me. May God bless you with immense happiness and prosperity for helping so many students like me.
Thank you for your video. I really like the way you structure and tell you story and certainly learnt a lot.
Hey Dan, while framing my answers do I directly mention the name of the Amazon principle or subtly talk about the situation and the interviewer will derive the principle out of my conversation? Thanks so much for such great guidance!!
The "you are right one" is my favorite. It is often misunderstood. It doesn't mean you assert your (potentially wrong) opinions. It means you seek the truth, listen to others, and admit when you are wrong.
The volume on this was low.
I heard him fine. You need your ears cleaned
@@Helixuryou sound pleasant. Good luck on your interviews.
@@bettycheung2319 and you sounds like a jackass instead of being thankful. No thanks.
Excellent!! Excellent video. Thanks so much!
Where do you work yourself ? If you ever need to prepare, you aren't good enough or the process is to fake. Just be real and use your brain and answer questions do not do role play.
