I have an interview for an executive assistant position and was told it was an informal conversation (i am a currently an Amazon contractor) but was also asked to block off 45 mins on my calendar… any advice for first conversations? Not sure if this is an actual interview or if they just want to chat since I’m already internal

Sounds like this is as you describe an informal chat to see if they want to formally interview you. As a contractor you’d still need to loop and prove you raise the bar, to convert to blue badge. It’s tough to prepare for an informal chat as there’s no pre-determined structure. Have some good examples of projects you’re proud of and a good answer to why you’re interested in the role.

Additional Posts in Amazon Interview Prep

Hey friends! I hope everybody has had a productive week and had an awesome weekend for those who enjoyed their holiday! This question is specifically for Amazon Web Services in sales.

So I am currently a potential candidate as an AAE. I was told that I would in the future have to prepare a mock deck and deal with objections.

Has anybody had to prepare them and what was the scenario?

Thanks everyone!

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. 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?
