SUMMARY ⤵️
In this video, I will show you how to answer the "Why Amazon?" question; the question why Amazon should hire you, which you will hear at least once or twice in your Amazon interview loop.
I'm Nick, a former Amazon Bar Raiser, who has interviewed hundreds of Amazon candidates and has trained many other Amazon Bar Raisers, so I know exactly what it takes to stand out in the Amazon interview process. Over the course of 7 videos, I am sharing with you a proven formula of how to get hired by Amazon, how to remake your career, and earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process.

🌟 WHY WATCH?
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.
