Starting April 2025, this purchase will contain two of my best trainig programs. The original Amazon Onsite Training Program (launched in 2021; 6.5 hours) which helped more than a few land jobs with Amazon. The second training is a more concise version of a behavioral interview training (3 hours). Both versions can be consumed as video and text.

New! Quizzes with over 100 questions to help you improve your chances to spot the Leadership Principles. Includes one quiz for manager level roles.

Training 1: Advanced Behavioral Interviewing

Key behaviors:

  • Conflict & Influence
  • Prioritization & Speed
  • Failure Questions
  • Vision / Strategic Thinking
  • Results / Outcome Orientation
  • Customer Obsession
  • Elevator pitch. Why this company.
  • Strength and weakness
  • .. and more

Other topics:

  • Candidate Interviewing Techniques
  • Employer Interviewing Techniques
  • Quizzes on each section to test your knowledge.

How long is it?

  • ~2h45 in 19 videos (videos do get updated, added and removed; in its first version, this training was over 6 hours). Each video contains chapters for easier referencing - especially useful for revisions.
  • Recap script with everything in text below each of the video with examples.

This content is biased towards benefiting the candidate, on what connects with success in job interviews. My goal is to help you to improve your STAR answers using your best stories:

  • Part one: reasoning by analogy will help you to quickly and accurately find relevant stories for key behaviors.
  • Parts 2 & 3: answering commonly asked questions, and general advice.
  • Full access to AI Interview Training (from the stories dashboard) allowing you to evaluate your stories.

Training 2: Amazon Onsite Training Program

In its first version this was over 9 hours; to save you time, I compressed it to 6h30, in 43 sections. This is best consumed over the course of a few consecutive days.

My goal is to help you to improve your STAR answers using your best stories, in a 4 step process:

  • Section one: reasoning by analogy will help you to quickly and accurately find relevant stories for each principle.
  • Section two: general types of questions; outcome: your elevator pitch.
  • In section three, I'm using the examples from section one, in order to highlight behaviors to use and to avoid in your own answers.
  • Section four - more exercises to further improve the quality of your stories. Outcome: your stories, ready for the interview.

I perfectioned this method throughout the years, while helping & learning from some really smart people.

First, throughout my career, I've worked in both technical and non-technical roles.

Second. My experience coaching people for all major job categories has taught me an important lesson: anyone applying for such jobs should be able to qualify if an answer, including its depth, is for them. Some stories will be for mid-level roles while others will be for L7+ roles, while others will be for sales.

While it is true that many of these stories are from IT, I picked examples from a variety of industries. Furthermore, you have the option to generate examples for your own role.

from a candidate in Seattle - under Invent and Simplify

A side project of mine is to track potholes in the area by designing a reporting system using cameras mounted on garbage trucks; they would scan the road and using AI would find holes in the road, which would be reported to the city for review.
