Research how to interview at Amazon. They have a whole process that they require.

I've done a lot of phone screens at Amazon too - compared to the average company, I find that they want much more polished & rehearsed stories. You should also try your best to align to their leadership principles so that each story aligns to at least 1 but ideally 2-3 LPs.

How is your voice? Ask a friend if you come across as clear. A lot of people get by with hard to understand accents or mumbling. But it can be hard in an interview.

My company is in need of a update online, could use your opinions! We need to better showcase our culture (caring, supportive, fun, intelligent IT industry leaders) as well as diversity. We are predominantly white still but making strides to improve here. What’s the best way to approach? I don’t want to seem disingenuous or that we are singling out our diverse employees (asking for photos). We have a remote and on-site workforce about 350+ EEs. Non white EEs make up about 35% of the company rn.
