The Amazon Application Process

The Amazon job application is very user friendly. If you already have your resume and cover letter prepared, it shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes of your time to complete.

For this application guide, we applied for a position as a Software Development Engineer. Though the application process should be pretty much identical for all jobs, it's possible that your application experience could vary a little bit depending on the position you are applying for.

At the beginning of the Amazon application, you will be presented with a few choices: You can login with your Facebook, Google+, or LinkedIn account, or you can create an account on their hiring site. The choice is entirely yours.

Next, you will have the opportunity to upload your resume. Providing your resume is required, so make sure that you have one together before you begin the application. If you haven't already, make sure that you take some time to customize your resume for the position that you are applying for. This is your opportunity to demonstrate exactly how your previous experiences have prepared you for the job that you are applying for.

Once your resume is uploaded, you will need to provide some personal information including your name, phone number, email address, street address, and education history. Before you begin the application, make sure that you have accurate graduation dates for all schools that you have completed. You will be asked for them, and it's likely that these are pieces of information that Amazon will validate before making any formal employment offers to you.

Now that your personal information is provided, you will have the opportunity to write a cover letter. Take your time with this. Your cover letter is the perfect spot to explain why you would love to work for Amazon, and talk about how your previous experiences have prepared you for the job. Make this letter as personal and informational as you possibly can. Don't rush.

With your cover letter provided, you have completed the Amazon application. Good luck!
