w/aaron hurt from amazon on interviewing
guest: aaron hurt, systems development engineering manager at amazon
- amazon's interview loop can run five hours total and may be split across multiple days instead of one sitting
- each loop interviewer focuses on specific leadership principles or competencies, so expect behavioral questions tied to past actions
- amazon aims to respond within two business days after initial contact and within five business days after loop interviews
- match your resume language to the job description, since missing keywords like a specific os or tool can keep you from getting a phone screen
- avoid vague words like expert or massive on your resume or in interviews, be specific and ready to back up any claim you make
