Don’t repeat stories! Have 1-3 stories per interviewer memorized that you can choose from to answer the question. I had the title of each story listed on pieces of paper in front of me and threw them out as I went through my Loop so that I didn’t re-use them. Got the offer!

I will tweak this advice somewhat - you will have 5 interviews in the loop. Each will ask 4-5 questions. It’s okay to use a story twice; just frame it appropriately.

Get on YouTube and search for Amazon interviews. Lots of great advice on there. I had a list of potential questions and stories for each printed, and printed out the leadership principles.

Looking for some sincere advice. I absolutely bombed a case interview today. I’m defeated. I performed as well as someone with zero preparation after over a month of prep. I seem to always panic, I get disorganized, I’m flustered and lose sight of important relationships in cases. I feel like I need a complete overhaul. Any advice of what has worked to help you change your instincts? I care more about building up my skills and self improvement than I do about doing this for an interview. TIA

Hi Googlers,
I had a question for you all. Do interviewers give their feedback and rating (or score) before your “package” being sent to HC? And if there is a bad or lower rating in one of your interview, does the “package” still get sent to HC knowing that it may not pass (60% possibility).

Hi all! This is not necessarily an interview tip, more like a what should I do now kind of dilemma. I received an email to complete an in-person interview with a company last Wednesday. I responded via email the following morning with a few times I can go in as requested, specifically a time on Monday. I hadn’t received a response by Friday end of day so I waited to send a follow up email on Sunday. I still haven’t received a response. Do I continue to reach out again or cut my losses?
