How to avoid pitfalls when applying for Amazon operations during the golden months of March and April? Be sure to save these must-ask questions for company interviews!

In the magical year of 2021, cross-border e-commerce Amazon sellers have experienced "involution", "account blocking", "bankruptcy", "freight price increase"... Especially the "account blocking" in May, which dealt a heavy blow to Chinese sellers. Many companies have to start cutting costs, making companies more cautious in recruiting and more stringent in recruitment requirements.

In 2022, in addition to layoffs and reducing burdens, many cross-border e-commerce companies have also adopted salary cuts as a way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, with some cuts even exceeding 30%!

It is worth mentioning that: " Some cross-border e-commerce companies have also changed their skill requirements for operators "

Previously, job seekers with operational staff assessment experience and their own resources would have a great advantage in job hunting, but now, they will be suspected by recruiting HR of being just mindless salespeople. Therefore, if your resume contains such practices, you will basically be screened out in the interview very quickly. Past "achievements" have now become a shackle on the road to job hunting.

Zhaodanmao has had many clients interviewing for Amazon supervisor positions recently . Through communicating with them and collecting some information online, Maomao has compiled some points to better screen out companies with promising financial prospects and a good team atmosphere.

As a former Tencent employee, Zhaodanmao would like to add a few points:

• Companies recruit employees and employees interview companies. This is a two-way choice and value exchange . Therefore, we must also carefully evaluate the company we are interviewing with. Don’t worry about annoying the other party by asking too many questions. If the company is unwilling to answer these simple questions, you can directly pass it.

• For those who are averse to written tests, you can ask the HR whether there is a written test when sending an interview invitation. If there is, if you cannot accept it, don't go;

  Because many Amazon sellers may think that written tests are meaningless for interviews. If the written test scores are high but the interview results are unsatisfactory, will the company accept them?

  The written test was terrible and the interview was good, but the company still didn't accept me. It's meaningless except wasting the interviewee's time. And it looks like a fraud.

• Zhaodanmao believes that written test is a very common interview method. Before Zhaodanmao, no matter he joined the Internet giant Tencent , a well-known foreign company or Amazon operating company , there would be a written test .

  Because the written test (business related, not civil service exam) is not intended to screen out outstanding people, but to do the most basic filtering, and directly give up some of those who have not passed the basics temporarily, saving everyone's time.
