The STAR Interview
Summary
The STAR interview method is used by millions of people all around the world to answer interview questions and tell stories. Fortune 500 companies (Amazon included) recommend using the STAR method to answer behavioral questions. Whether you’re just starting your job search, already interviewing with a company, or looking for a different way to stand out - there are a dozen different ways you can incorporate the technique into your life. But it’s not just about interviewing. Any time you present yourself verbally or in written format, doing it in a narrative/story format will open people's ears. So if any (or all) of these apply to you, then you can use STAR to help you with all the following: Looking for a job Interview preparation for a full time or part time job Getting yourself noticed as a freelancer Finding consulting gigs Trying to get an internal transfer Writing a badass LinkedIn profile Making a great blog, portfolio, or content to present yourself Networking I’ve helped thousands of people in their job searches and hundreds of (small and large) companies find the right people for their teams. The STAR method has remained a consistent and useful technique throughout. In a day and age when we are all trying to be heard, it is more relevant today than ever before.

Cracking the Amazon Interview
Summary
While we cannot predict every question that Amazon will ask in an interview, the process is fairly structured. This makes the interview process transparent and easy to prepare for because we know many of the themes they will cover and questions they will ask. Imagine if your teacher in university told you most of the questions that were going to be on the test beforehand - all you would have to do is practice. Consider this book your study guide. As a result of this structured interview process, many job seekers who do poorly in interviews simply do not spend enough time preparing. And often, the ones who do spend time preparing do not spend enough time focusing on the right things. I compiled information about the company’s interview process, questions, and techniques that have been most successful for former applicants (current Amazon employees). This mini-guide will walk you through what it takes to get through an Amazon interview, step by step. All you have to do is listen and prepare. What’s in the book: How to supercharge your resume and tailor keywords to get noticed by Amazon hiring managers Tips to answer Amazon's behavioral interview questions A breakdown of Amazon's famous 14 leadership principles Understand the Amazon business model (the "flywheel") and how it relates to the interview Common pitfalls and how to avoid them Perspectives from Amazon hiring managers across the world And much more!
