Amazon asked recruiters across the company to provide their best tips for applying for a job at Amazon. With a simple click of "apply now," thousands of candidates around the world begin their journey with Amazon each day. Though our hiring team is not able to personally respond to every application, they work to provide the best experience possible for each candidate.

"Just like we obsess over customers, we obsess over our candidates," said Michelle Jackson, Senior Client Lead Recruiter, Global Specialty Fulfillment at Amazon. "We want to make sure you have a great experience and that you have the resources you need."
