Are virtual interviews better than in-person?
I'm interviewing for final round of the entry level area manager position at
Amazon. I'm working on multiple stories related to the leadership principles. Can anyone provide me some tips regarding the role?
There are 16 leadership principle and I'm thinking of creating some stories around each but the thing that concerns me is what if the questions they ask are related to the same principle and I might have already used up my stories. Something like that. Can anyone please help?

Referrals, recruiters, and hiring managers. This is standard across large companies in most industries.
The goal is to get your resume even looked at, since they get tons of applicants. Referrals significantly raise the odds. Recruiters are by job description the people who screen you, so if you get their attention, you've got your screen. Hiring managers are somewhere between being the ultimate deciding party on the offer or just a better referral, depending on the company (hiring for a team vs single hiring pool, culture, etc).
In an ideal scenario, any of the three can act as sort of your champion, keeping the process moving and even getting someone to take a second look if they initially pass on you. How to make that happen is all in how you network.
Also be mindful of hiring freezes. Big tech is feeling skittish these days, so don't feel down if your networking isn't resulting in interviews.
Oh, and you still have to pass the interviews. The actual hard part.
Once I've had an interview with Google through a recruiter, which proposed to me to apply for a role they were looking for. Also as far as I know, having an internal reference is a good starting point.
But I'm not at Google, so glad to hear differently if somebody knows better
It's better to apply through referrals or recruiters. It's faster that way than company portals. Maybe you have friends working in your target company. You can ask them for referrals.
