Standard interview process. Did my best to impress. Nearly all the young interviewees were offered positions with the company. Looks like you'll work long hours and it will be difficult. Would be interesting to know what most Area/Ops Managers that remain with the company are doing 5 years after hire.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2013
Interview
I applied to numerous Operations Manager postions with Amazon throughout the country. There are positions close, but am willing to relocate and was hopiing that would open up more opportunities. I was contacted through email to set up a phone interview. This happened relatively quickly (within a couple of days). I'd heard taht Amazon asks a lot of behavior-type questions, so I reviewed my resume and prepared some possible situations I could use that had happened to me in the past. This was my first phone interview and now realize who difficult it was to "read" the person who was interviewing. I am transitioning out of the Army with over 25 years of leadership, organizational, and operations experience as well as motivating others. I couldn't tell if my knowledge and experience was coming across over the phone.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There weren't any difficult questions. Most started out with "Tell me a time..." and I had prepared possible answers ahead of time to help me jog my memory.
