Jeff Bezos hired this Amazon applicant 'on the spot'—here are the 2 interview questions he asked. (via CNBCMakeIt)
Initially, I hadn't thought about applying to Amazon. When I was growing up in Redmond, Washington, most of my friends' parents were tech executives, and while they made good money, their lives didn't look particularly fun to me. But many of my classmates were graduating without job offers, so I felt as if I should explore all options.to Amazon without much thought. To my surprise, I was called in for a first-round interview for a junior assistant role.
I felt relaxed going into the interview that October morning. I was patiently sitting in a conference room chair when the door opened and in walked Bezos. He sat down across from me and introduced himself. I outlined how I would start with the number of people in Seattle, which I thankfully correctly guessed as around 1 million, just to make the math easier. Then I said that they would each have a home, a mode of transportation, and an office or school — all of which would have windows. So I suggested that we base the estimate on averages of those.We got down into every possible scenario, group, anomaly and ways to account for these exceptions.
Knowing Bezos as well as I do now, I see why those were his only two questions. He was measuring my potential by asking questions that would explore whether I had the grit, courage and motivation to run at his pace and be brave enough to consistently jump with him and level up.
