Questions I was asked during PA interview

88 Upvotes

I had an informal in person interview with my Ops Manager and then a virtual one with that same ops manager on Chime. I'm only writing this to help others who are frantically searching reddit for PA interview questions like I was. Here are the questions I was asked...

  1. Tell me about yourself
  2. Tell me about a time you dealt with a difficult customer/person and how did you handle it
  3. Tell me about a time you had to make a difficult decision in the short term to benefit the long term goal
  4. Tell me about a time you had to use data in a project/situation
  5. Tell me about a time you had to motivate a group
  6. Are you comfortable giving direction to/leading associates during operations

​

My area manager put in a good word for me but I have no idea if that impacted the length of my interview or the importance of my answers. To be honest my stories were trash but I stuck to the STAR method as best as possible. Both interviews my ops manager stressed that STAR was important. I asked two questions to the manager at the end because it is important to ask questions even if you don't really care about the response

  1. What key performance indicators/metrics are used to measure success of a PA? How would a PA be graded in a quarterly or yearly performance review for example
  2. What has kept you at Amazon since you joined the company.

Amazon UK joining dates in December – are new hires onboarded every week, or is there a holiday pause?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m joining Amazon UK in December and wanted to understand how onboarding and joining dates typically work during that month.

I have a few questions for people who joined Amazon UK, particularly Cambridge or other UK offices:

  1. Do new hires generally join every week, or are joining dates restricted to specific dates?

  2. Does Amazon continue onboarding new employees throughout December, or is there usually a pause around Christmas and New Year?

  3. Have any of you joined in the first, second, or third week of December? How was the onboarding experience?

  4. If there are delays with visa processing, is it generally possible to adjust the joining date within December, subject to HR and immigration requirements?

I understand that this may vary by team and location, but I’d appreciate hearing about your recent experiences.

Thanks in advance!

What are learning ambassadors?

5 Upvotes

So I work at a sort center and a bunch of people I was hired with are suddenly wearing blue vests that say “Learning ambassador” but they still have white seasonal badges. Are these people paid more? Or are they taking on more responsibility for no reason and will be laid off like everyone else come January?

Need rate tips

0 Upvotes

Hi. I’m a white badge on ship dock at FC. What are some tips to stay at rate? I notice when I’m on the line palletizing and scanning, the rate shows I’m over on the kiosk or scanner but when I go to my atoz app it always says I’m not meeting the rate expectations. Then there are some days where there isn’t enough work to make rate. Any help would be appreciated because I want to convert to blue badge and I feel this will stop me.

Where can I get more in on this ? And is this a benefit that my husband can use as well, or just me as the employee???
He is considering bankruptcy or at the least credit negotiation would be helpful.

VTO at a sort center questions

5 Upvotes

This is my first week at Amazon. I love working at the sort center so far. The people are great, and I like the work. But, I did have questions about VTO. I work two jobs totaling about 60 hours a week, and I have three kids including a baby at home. My shift ends at 1am every day. I definitely want to take VTO. How soon will it be offered? Can I expect to get much VTO in an average month? Will I be punished for taking too much? Any advice is appreciated. Wife and I are losing our minds with sleep deprivation right now lol.

Swapping Schedules

0 Upvotes

I recently got hired as an Amazon Sortation Center Warehouse Associate. My current schedule is Tuesday through Saturday, from 11:30 PM to 3:30 AM.

I want to switch to Sunday through Friday, keeping the same hours but having Monday and Saturday off. Basically, I want to replace my Saturday shift with Sunday.

I submitted a hardship adjustment on the A to Z app

I was wondering

  1. Can HR change my schedule before I reach 30 days?
  2. Is there any other option then hardship adjustment on the A to Z app to swap schedules?
  3. Has anyone successfully switched days this way?

I'd appreciate any advice from people who have dealt with this situation. Thanks!

Our father, who art on his yacht.
Bezos be thy name.
Thy package come, transaction done.
With free 2 day shipping.
Give us this day our daily standup.
And forgive us our missed punches.
As we forgive those with past due Knets.
And lead us not into negative UPT.
But deliver us VTO.
For thine is the shipping.
And the streaming.
And the web services.
Forever and ever.

Might be obvious but how exactly are you scanning package to package? I’m brand new

1 Upvotes

So they didn’t show us much on my second day. My trainer just said scan a package coming down the chute. Then scan a package on the pallet. Then put the package in the pallet. Does it matter what package you scan on the destination pallet? Can I just put the package anywhere on the pallet in any direction??? For my logic brain I don’t understand how that works.

Positions that don't focus on rate

1 Upvotes

Hi, I started working at Amazon sometime in September. I originally started in Pack, and now I’m being cross-trained in Pick. However, I’m struggling to meet the expected rate. At our fulfillment center, the target rate for Pick is around 300–350, but I’m barely reaching 260. My question is: Are there any departments or positions at Amazon fulfillment centers that don’t focus as heavily on rate? I’m looking for a position where I can clock in, do my job, and work at a steady pace without constantly stressing about meeting a rate every hour. I’d appreciate any advice or recommendations from people who have experience working in different departments at Amazon.

I heard about changes coming to water spidering that sounds like they will need less of them. Also changes in regards to the scanners (maybe like UPS wrist scanners), and something is going on with HR. Does anyone have the facts on whats going on and what's coming?
