Prepare for Your Amazon Assessment Centre and Interview
Were you invited to an Amazon interview or to the assessment centre?
This is the final and most crucial part of the hiring process, so make sure to prepare for it in advance. Learn how to shine during your Amazon interview process, case studies, and other onsite assessments with our detailed online guides.
In-depth preparation for interviews requires working on both verbal and nonverbal communication, which helps emphasise your fit for the role. We elaborate on this topic in our pre-recorded video interview page.

Our pack was designed to help you prepare for the main assessments you may take part in during your Amazon assessment day. The pack includes the following preparation materials:
Amazon Interview Preparation
In the pack, you will find a detailed interview guide written by our accredited psychologists. The guide offers important interview tips and covers different aspects of interviews. It discusses, among other things, competency-based interviews and how to use the STAR method when answering questions. It also provides advice on how to answer common interview questions. The pack offers a brief review of Amazon’s leadership principles as well. Going over these principles and carefully reading the guide will help you prepare for your Amazon interview.
The pack also includes numerical drills with which you can rehearse some basic concepts (e.g. probability and combinatorics, work-rate, and more). These will help you tackle the maths problem you may be presented with during the interview.
Amazon Assessment Centre
The assessment day usually requires candidates to work on a case study. To help you prepare for the Amazon case study, we have included in the pack two complete case study practice tests with recommended solutions and scoring forms. You can use these scoring forms to evaluate your performance according to the criteria real assessors look for. The pack also features a thorough guide explaining key points for solving a case study. This guide offers solving strategies for case studies as well as guidelines for case study presentations.
The pack also includes comprehensive guides for two other activities you may face at your Amazon assessment centre: the role play and the group exercise.
Amazon Phone Interview
The first interview you should pass is the Amazon Phone Interview. In some of the cases, you may be assessed by a phone interview several times. You may also be invited to participate in the Amazon online interview.
