A former employee of Jeff Bezos, in a recent interview with CNN, revealed the process that the businessman follows to hire you at AMAZON. She started her career with him in 2002, and as she said, she was stunned when she saw the founder of Amazon enter the interview space.
He stated that he asked her only 2 general questions, which, however, hid big “traps”.
In his first question he said “I will do the math” and going to a blackboard in his office, he continued “I want you to count the number of windows in the city of Seattle”. Upon hearing the question, she said she was terrified, adding: “I paused to calm down, making myself think about why he is asking me this question. He wants to see how my mind works, I thought. “He wants to see if I can break a complicated problem into small pieces.” Going on, the second question was seemingly easier with the entrepreneur asking her “What are your business goals?”. While, he confessed that after the answer he hired her in the company, placing her just one meter away from his office.
Closing the interview, he added: “Knowing Bezos after so many years, I see now why he only asked me these two questions. He measured my potential with questions that I would reveal if I had the courage and motivation to run at his pace and be brave enough to constantly jump with him and level up. By the end of the interview, we both knew I would do anything to succeed. “
