I have an interview with Amazon and they say to "dress comfortably" and that they are a "casual work environment." Should I just wear business casual? I assume a suit would be overdoing it based on that description

Or shirtless, whatever is more comfortable.

Dress shirt/khakis. Better to be too dressed up than not enough.

Amazon’s definition of comfortable and mine are probably very different😂 I’m sure they mean like jeans and a polo. My comfortable is shorts and a t-shirt or sweats and a hoodie depending on the weather😂 Also, Idk why but I prefer wearing slacks over jeans.

I'm 100% with you on the slacks > jeans. They're usually not as tight and they're a more comfortable fabric. Only time I ever wore jeans to the office was when I was going somewhere afterwards where it would be weird to be wearing slacks.

If you’re a male, do slacks with a button down, if the weather is chilly, add a sport coat. If you’re female, wear a suit skirt with blouse/button down or a nice sheath dress, can add a blazer if chilly

Hi Fishes,

I applied to one of the roles and after initial screening I happened to see in the website that there are no suitable openings for my profile.

I heard that the cool off period is six months. Does that apply to my situation because I didn't attend any interview.

Can I use referals to apply before 6 months? Or should I wait for 6 more months?

Thanks for your help.

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?
