This is especially important as the company grows and expands into new territories, such as its latest stint in food technology for home delivery. Why? Because the company wants people who "rise up to attack a challenge" and who can "show that you're doing something above and beyond your comfort zone." "Make it very driven on the impact," says the recruiter.Īpplicants should also point out areas in which "they've taken ownership of something that is not in your wheelhouse," she says. Younger applicants who are just joining the workforce should focus on where they've shown a challenge, on their resume and in interviews. This means the company looks for "deeply curious" workers because "things are always changing and there's always something new to be involved in."įinally, the company places a high value on employees who can "take ownership of and beyond your role," Park says. "Amazon is a super fun place because it's so dynamic," says Park. Park's next piece of advice for young professionals is to be "relentlessly curious." She says the company always asks itself: "Can something be better?"Ĭuriosity is particularly important, says Park, because although Amazon is viewed as a massive marketplace, it's really just a "series of start-ups." The company continually explores new ideas and welcomes innovation from its employees, she says.
"We work on things that we know customers like and that's not going to change." "What has worked at Amazon is focusing on the customer.putting the customer first, which is easy to say but difficult to do," Bezos tells CNN in a 2013 interview. This customer driven ideology has been a longtime mantra of Amazon's CEO Jeff Bezos.
Park says that the company culture is laser-focused on this rhetoric: What problem are we trying to solve for our customers? Knowing this, applicants should highlight where they have worked in a customer based role, focus on jobs that deal with the "customer profession" (even something as small as being a sales clerk) and highlight examples where they made things better for the customer by going "above and beyond." "We start working backwards from the customer." "We would consider ourselves customer-centric," says Park. With so many applicants looking to get hired, how can millennial job seekers stand out when applying to the company?įirst, Park suggests applicants take a hard look at the company's main principle: Focus on the customer. "We are delighted by the volume of people that respond," says the head recruiter. For any given job posting at Amazon, there are thousands of applicants vying for the position.
