Hi, I’m Nick! 👋 I was an Amazon Bar Raiser for five years, and a Bar Raiser Mentor for two—meaning I helped certify which Amazonians were trusted to make final hiring decisions. After Amazon, I started Amazon Bound, a coaching service that helps job seekers land roles at Amazon and change their careers. I also created Amazon Bound School, a private community with weekly live coaching, interview tools, and support from like-minded candidates. More recently, I built Score My Interview, an AI-driven tool that gives instant feedback on your STAR responses—so you can improve faster without waiting for a coach. On this channel, I share battle-tested interview strategies, live demos, and insider insights from my years inside Amazon. Whether you’re preparing for a behavioral interview, a Bar Raiser round, or just trying to get your STAR stories right, you’re in the right place. ✅ Products I’ve built: • Amazon Bound School (community) → live coaching, peer support, and prep tools • Score My Interview (AI) → fast, affordable STAR feedback when you need it • Amazon Bound (coaching) → personalized prep with a proven framework 👍 Please like, subscribe, and drop a comment if you’d like me to cover something specific! ⸻ 👀 MORE RESOURCES 🎓 Join Amazon Bound School – a private community with live coaching, peer support, and exclusive bonuses 👉 https://www.skool.com/amazonbound/about?ref=f20dece0f9da4149af5184b3342023ea 🧑🏾‍💻 Score My Interview – get instant AI feedback on your STAR responses (first one is free): 👉 https://www.scoremyinterview.com 🦾 Amazon interview prep service: 👉 https://amazonbound.today ⸻ 🚀 BOOK A FREE CALL WITH ME Need personalized help landing your dream job at Amazon? 🎯 Book a free 15-minute call: 👉 https://calendly.com/amazon-bound/15min ⸻ TIMESTAMPS ⏱️ 00:00 Introduction to 15 Bold Questions That Make You Stand Out in Your Amazon Interview 00:51 How to Ask Great Interview Questions as a Candidate? 02:30 Cultural Questions vs. Functional Questions 03:37 Prepared Questions vs. On-the-spot Questions 05:35 15 Smart Cultural Questions to Ask in Your Amazon Interview 05:48 Question 1 - What’s the Real Reason This Role Is Open Now? 06:08 Question 2 - What Will Make This Hire Fail—Regardless of Their Skill Set? 06:33 Question 3 - What Surprised the Last Person Who Took This Role? 06:46 Question 4 - Who Stands to Gain Most If I Succeed—And Who Might Feel Threatened? 07:22 Question 5 - What’s One Tough Call I’ll Need to Make in My First 90 Days? 07:36 Question 6 - When the Last Crisis Hit, What Did the Leadership Team Get Right—And Wrong? 07:53 Question 7 - What’s the Most Important Thing I’ll Need to Protect? 08:16 Question 8 - What’s Broken, But No One Has Had the Courage to Fix? 08:27 Question 9 - Who Has Power Here—Without a Formal Title? 09:03 Question 10 - When Was the Last Time Someone Said No to Leadership—And What Happened? 09:33 Question 11 - If I Underperformed in This Role, What Would Likely Be the Cause? 10:03 Question 12 - What’s One Truth About This Team That Wouldn’t Show Up in Onboarding? 10:33 Question 13 - What Does Success in This Role Not Look Like? 10:55 Question 14 - Who Are the Top 3 Internal Stakeholders I Must Win Over Early? 11:12 Question 15 - What Would Make You Say—12 Months From Now—‘Hiring You Was the Best Move We Made’? 12:20 What’s Next - Roleplaying 13 Ambiguous Amazon Leadership Principles Questions
