Amazon Hi all, so I'm interviewing for Associate Cloud App Dev, A2C ProServe. I was wondering if anyone could provide insight on what the process is like? The recruiter said 80% behavioral and 20% technical. So, will they be testing cloud knowledge?
My background is mostly MERN focused on React/Node.js. I'm open to learning, but am I super out of my depth?
Survey please respond Big 4

It's time for you to take a break for a week or 2. Recharge. Once recharged, think about what went well and what didn't. Have you gotten guidance from your network? What feedback have you gotten on your resume? You need to be self reflective once you recharge. Update me in a few weeks and we can go from there.
Thank you. Guidance is "to keep pushing through, you'll find it soon." But I don't feel that's real pragmatic advice at this point. As for resume, I've gotten "strong and impressive resume." So it's something with interviews, but I can't quite pin it.
I'll be in touch CPO, I appreciate it
One small tip I use when interviewing at the end of each interview I ask “is there anything about my candidacy that gives you pause?” (Or is there anything about my experience that I could expand on is a softer version). I find that it forces the interviewers to actually think and say no not really or if there is something they address it and you have the opportunity to clarify why or how you could overcome that or talk about how you’ve overcome something similar in the past. It’s a good closer type question, in my last interview the Head of TA said he was taken aback and it was an impressive approach.
Additionally, you could try to ask the recruiters what areas you can improve on for future interviews- some companies won’t say for legal reasons but you may catch someone on a good day who is willing to help.
Highly recommend researching behavioral based interviewing and even if they throw a hypothetical question your way, relate it to real life experiences you’ve had in your past.
Good luck!!
The whole point is to put their hesitations at ease! Typically they don’t even have any and it helps them actually say, nope you’re completely qualified for this! Depends on your presentation I guess 😂 if you’re awkward, it will surely be awkward. Not to brag but I’ve interviewed 10+ times and never not been given the job offer (Google, RMS, NYL and two other fortune 500’s I accepted) 🤷🏻♀️ guess it works for me 😬
