Advice from a senior exec at Amazon,
6 things job seekers MUST know.
I helped a senior tech director land a job at Amazon,
We got to chatting, and he said a few things that I’ve decided to share on todays post 💁♂️
Here are 6 words of advice he’s given to jobseekers:
1: your resume is everything, there’s nothing else for us to go off until we meet you.
2: technical ability is important, but commercial and emotional intelligence are gold.
3: only a very small portion of resumes make it to human review, keep it short, remove all the fluff.
4: reach out to members of the team on LinkedIn and introduce yourself, proactive > reactive.
5: we do hire internally, but we endeavour to bring fresh faces and new ideas into the fold.
6: salary offerings have no correlation with your nationality, or any other perceived biases.
These points were specifically highlighted for job seekers in the UAE & KSA, but are applicable to everyone 🎯
Remember, your job search should take 2-4 weeks.
Ps, which point stands out the most to you? 💬
