First time interviewing at AWS and freaking out

Not in that role, but recent AWS hire. Learn about STAR interviews, read about the leadership principles in the context of your STAR stories (and STAR is just a format for a story). The HR and phone screen calls are important. Dont try to BS what you don't know, be honest. More on reddit.com

AWS Interview Process

Hello! Not all teams perform assessments prior to the phone screen; some do, some don't. Our phone-screen process primarily establishes your technical competency. Each team has different criteria, so I can't give you a one-size-fits-all answer (example: my team verifies you have technical depth in Microsoft technologies). (Besides, even if I did know and I told you, that'd be cheating! 😉) I will tell you that we have senior-level resources performing these phone-screens, and they'll dig as deep as you're able to go to identify where you shine. The "in-person" (depends on the team and location as to how "virtual" it is) interviews will primarily focus on cultural fit; it's critical to us that you are able to demonstrate the Leadership Principles (be prepared to talk about all 16!). You can learn more about the LPs here: https://www.amazon.jobs/en/principles You may have noticed that I haven't said much about AWS-specific knowledge! While that's always a plus, we are first and foremost looking for smart people with great technical skills who are a cultural fit. The rest can be taught. I hope this helps, and good luck!
