So I thought I had a virtual interview it turns out to be an information session with the recruiter. The recruiter said, “I wish you applied 2wks ago because the person we are thinking about may not accept this role because they applied to various roles here and have interviews.” I’m sitting there shocked like what? He then says, “if we decide not to go with them we really want to interview you because your experience is exactly what we’re looking for..” Uhmm..idek how to process this lol

Do not spend another minute processing this. You encountered a recruiter who was disorganized and used poor professionalism. It happens more often than it should and not a reflection of you.

At the same time take it as a gift, realize they aren't ready to hire you today, and treat them like a cold lead. Put your energy into the companies that are actually excited to talk to you.

How are you feeling about the rest of your search?

The search sucks! I thought I was going into an interview..that’s hard to come by these days lol and turned out to be nothing. And, yes this is true I should start thinking more of other companies. It just sucks overall.

Do you have advice on how to interview better with Amazon?

My résumé and portfolio are great, and I’ve been asked to interview with Amazon for 4 different teams now. However, it seems like I’m not making it past the first 1:1 interview. 3 out of 4 have resulted in not the right fit for reasons unknown; they don’t provide any feedback either. I have been invited for a new interview today with another team, and I am hoping 4th time is the charm. Any tips on how to do better next time?
