Interviewed a few months ago and used this list of questions as a resource. Was definitely a good study guide for the questions that came up in my interview, hopefully it helps you too: https://www.glassdoor.com/Interview/Amazon-Sales-Interview-Questions-EI_IE6036.0,6_KO7,12.htm

I’d say study the leadership principles - with the foundation of the STAR method.

It’s really just a bad experience but leadership principles and being clear and concise - if you’re using chime then just have notes on google docs.

Honestly the interview prep and what I prepared for was def not in line.
Good luck. 👍🏼

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. I’ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now I’m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?
