A step-by-step workbook for Amazon’s Behavioral Interviews
Looking to secure a job at Amazon? Preparing for the Amazon Leadership Principles (ALP) interviews can be tricky. This workbook guides you in a clear, step-by-step manner to craft and practice your work-experience-based stories, essential for their competency-based interviews.
Amazon is highly competitive and stands out with its unique interview process. The interviewers dive deep into your work experiences to see how they align with ALPs. Many find these interviews challenging, and simply relying on past experiences without proper preparation can leave candidates shocked.
While this workbook doesn’t teach you about interview prep (there are many resources for that), it helps you work through relevant stories from your experience, frame them effectively, and practice your delivery. Remember, your results reflect the effort you put in. Plus, benefit from a sample set of 40+ questions included.
While this workbook is geared towards Amazon, the approach to preparation and the stories you build will help in any other competitive behavioral interviews, whether in Google, Microsoft, Apple, or anywhere else.
Why you shouldn’t underestimate your Amazon behavioral interviews!
