Appreciate your time on the AWS sneak peak, this is something I would like to do for the community. The way you present the things are really great !

[junior-]

thank you for your information!
I'm a veteran, i got a linkedin message from another veteran who is now a recruiter from AWS, he told me about "program for Veterans that graduated ANY IT related Cert, Associates, or Masters between 2022-2024." and he said about training to become a Solution Architecture at Arlington campus, I'm so nervous with the interview now.
I just finished my assessment and now i'm waiting for a prep interview.

Thank you Greg for agreeing to create this insightful video on the interview process! The information shared was incredibly helpful and provided me valuable insights to prepare for the interview. I do have a question: Could you shed some light on how AWS conducts loop interviews for individuals based in countries where AWS doesn't have a physical operating office?

[andreadiotallevi]

Thank you for the insights man - also love you accent

[sunandamukherjee]

Thank you so much for taking time to dive into hiring process in AWS. Got to know the process in depth. More sessions will be appreciated on the same topic. Looking forward to get more insights from you. I am following you in LinkedIn

I have a phone interview, but I have never spoken English to anyone, so I have two big problems, I have to prepare for the technical part, which is not easy as I can see, and I have to prepare my English. To top it off, I'm very anxious and scared, but I will face this.

[RiseUpAddis]

Thanks Gerg. Your informations means a lot to me.

[faithomokaro]

Thank you for the video, great information. I have a technical interview for Senior Security Solutions Architect (Threat Detection & Incident Response), Security Specialist SAs coming up. Will it be all security related or do I need to go deep on databases and other domains?

[HL-uwfk]

Nice one, thanks! Just about to have one, so learning curve has started 😂🎉

[csphrbangalore]

Very Informative. I would like to work with Amazon and I will so Working on it :)

[themadhiker]

Thanks for this helpful and insightful video. I got through phone screening last week and I’ve been invited back for the loop. I appreciate you’re busy but if I buy you a virtual coffee would you have a few minutes for a call as I prepare? Many thanks 🙏

[kamalpreetcor]

Hello Greg, Thankyou for the informative videos so far every week ! Could you please describe the TechU Program for Entry Level Jobs If it is a good topic for you too. Thanks

[akinakinmosin]

This is very insightful... Thank you for sharing this. I will like to know if the loop interview will all be conducted in a day or spread over a couple of days.

[sumeshsidharth]

Thanks, Greg, for the great video. There is a presentation round for the SA role. How can I prepare for this round?

[hellobaymax]

Thank you very much for your video.
I am preparing for an SA loop interview. My recruiter mentioned that each leadership topic will be examined for about 20 minutes, and it should preferably be related to technical cases. They will delve into the cases and assess the technical aspects based on them. However, many of my cases are business-related. What should I do?

[hsissen]

Thank you so much for this insightful video! Your explanations were incredibly helpful. I appreciate the clarity you provided.

I have a quick question: Does the technical screen also include behavioral questions based on the Amazon Leadership Principles, similar to the 'loop interview'?

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

[hemalisolanki]

Thank you for the video, it really helped a lot. I have a question, I applied for Associate Solution Architect from the referral and have phone interview for 30 minutes, is it going to be the same that you mentioned in the video? Thank you in advance.

[sunandamukherjee]

Those customer success stories help us to know the business aspect of SA profile? Or is there any other way to know how a SA aligns business aspect with technical skills?
