It coincides with the peak recruitment season of March and April, and a large number of cross-border e-commerce companies are trying their best to recruit talents. This year, the Amazon operation job market is unusually lively, and the recruitment demand for Amazon operations has skyrocketed!

Although the recruitment market is hot, it is full of traps. The employment situation this year is still not optimistic. Recently, many operators have complained on social platforms:

The employment environment in 2024 is extremely tight, and Amazon operations can’t find jobs!

I sent out dozens or even hundreds of resumes, but didn’t get a single interview;

When I greeted my boss, all my messages were read but not replied;

The interview is like a civil service exam, with all kinds of weird written test questions one after another;

Many companies want to find a savior but are stingy and make empty promises;

There are many cases where people have been looking for a job for two or three months but still have no luck...

Amazon's weird written test questions

During the peak recruitment season, major cross-border e-commerce companies are also very enthusiastic about recruiting Amazon operations. However, compared with previous years, the interview process of many cross-border e-commerce companies this year is difficult and complicated. Some job seekers complained that the normal interview time is about 25-40 minutes, but now many companies' interviews take 2-3 hours.

According to Zhaodanmao, because of the addition of a written test, it will take as short as half an hour to complete, or as long as an hour to complete.

Data shows that 32% of cross-border e-commerce companies said they set up written tests during the interview process, and 68% said they did not set up written tests. This means that if an Amazon operation job applicant participates in 10 interviews, there may be 3 interviews that require written tests, which is a high probability.

Amazon's written operation test is a test that the company will prepare a set of questions based on the needs to test the operational capabilities. The test covers a wide range of topics, including market analysis, product planning, advertising optimization, etc., aiming to comprehensively evaluate the operational capabilities of job seekers.

What’s even more outrageous is that there are actually civil service exam questions that test your logical reasoning, such as numerical reasoning, graphic changes, etc.

As soon as I got the questions, I knew I was going to fail this subject! Is choosing an Amazon operator like choosing a national pillar?

In fact, it is not difficult to see that the internal competition in the Amazon industry has intensified, the company's requirements for operations have increased, and written tests have become a common testing method.

Previously, many operational interview questions from a certain company had been circulated in the industry, and the content of the questions had also sparked heated discussions among sellers in the industry, raising doubts about the significance of the written test.

For example, interview questions for big sellers are more detailed, and sometimes specific scenarios are set. Questions for small and medium-sized sellers are often broader and more casual, such as please list more than 5 operating methods, please give examples of 10 pricing strategies, please give examples of 20 sales promotion strategies, please give examples of 30 ways to promote comments, etc.

In order to help some sellers become more familiar with answering the interviewer's questions, Zhaodanmao has compiled some common questions for you based on the feedback from seller friends.

① Things to note about self-introduction and interview process

1. The content of your self-introduction is recommended to include: basic personal information, education, major, and focus on work experience (especially work experience that matches the target position) to highlight your professional strengths and advantages. You should also learn about the target company and target position in advance, and explain from a professional perspective that you are a good match for this position.

2. When demonstrating your abilities and experience, don’t just say that you are very capable and experienced. Instead, talk about some successful cases to explain how you solved problems, dealt with challenges, and achieved success. This will be more convincing.

3. Pay attention to your non-verbal expressions, such as smile, posture, eyes, etc., which can convey your inner activities.

4. An interview is a mutual process, so at the end of the interview, the candidate also needs to ask the interviewer some questions to help him or her better understand the company, while also expressing to the interviewer his or her positive attitude that he or she is very interested in this position.
