Anyone got some useful tips on how to take effective meeting notes? I think during a call I’m getting all the right detail and then when I go to circulate actions I look at my notes and am like “Wtf is this?! I’ve just listed a random collection of non-related words…are these meant to be today’s wordle guesses?!”

Do you have advice on how to interview better with Amazon?

My résumé and portfolio are great, and I’ve been asked to interview with Amazon for 4 different teams now. However, it seems like I’m not making it past the first 1:1 interview. 3 out of 4 have resulted in not the right fit for reasons unknown; they don’t provide any feedback either. I have been invited for a new interview today with another team, and I am hoping 4th time is the charm. Any tips on how to do better next time?

Also I feel the lack of organization in personal life blows into professional as well. If you are a consultant how do u deal with it ?
