I finally landed an interview with an actual recruiter and have been practicing my STAR responses. I just read that answers should be tie back to the leadership principles but there is just wayyyy to many to remember and my interview is tomorrow.

Is it really necessary to have them memorized for a recruiter call?

Accenture 1 is right, the questions they ask target specific LPs. So I would say no, you don’t need to memorize them. But you should have a number of professional examples ready to go that you think exemplify the LPs. Since you don’t know which LP they’ll be asking about, it’s easier to have a selection of solid STAR stories ready to go.

The question will already be tied to the principle… but for Senior Managers position they really cared about it being concise with the star method. Also it matters more to how you tie in all your experience. Mine included technical stuff but it had to do with AWS. At the end for me, that position was not what I wanted so I used the call to learn about other positions that might interest me.

If it’s a recruiter screen- you’re unlikely to get LP questions. The Amazon recruiter screen is focused on your functional capabilities

Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?

It’s now been a week and both recruiters have been unresponsive. Did I just lose this offer bc I tried to negotiate a more equitable comp pack, or is it a slow process?
