Published 2022-02-28
in this video, I talk all about my interview experience with Amazon for their ux design internship role. I cover my entire experience from finding the role, all the way until I received my offer. I also share some tips, resources, and how to prepare along the way. As a bonus, I also share one of the most nerve-wracking things that happened in the middle of my interview.
I had lots of fun filming this video and reflecting back on my experience when I interviewed with Amazon in the Fall of 2021. I hope this video is able to give you a bit of insight into what it is like and what you can expect if you plan to apply during their next recruitment season.
are you currently looking for your first or next ux design role? let me know in the comments below where you currently are at in your journey, I'd love to know more. ･ᴗ･

Hi Andrea, thank you for sharing your experience! I already had my portfolio review interview, and now I'm preparing for the behavioural one. My question is: Did the interviewer touch on every single one of the leadership principles?

Thank you for sharing your experience!! I sent a request to connect with you on LinkedIn but couldn’t message because it required Premium, but I wish you a successful journey at Amazon :) Can’t wait to see what sort of videos you make next!
