You got job interview with Amazon…
This is my once in a life time to interview with a big global IT company. Honestly, I’m not interested in Job Hunting but this one is really trembling me.
First, I got approached by recruiter from Linked In. She said about the new opportunity for big IT company based in Seattle.
I know it at the first thought that it will be Amazon. That because, I’ve read through a lot of blogs about AWS.
Then, I prepared resume for recruiter to apply it for me. After 2 weeks passed, I got an email that I got an opportunity to have job interview at Amazon Japan in next week.
For interview at big IT company like Google, Facebook and Amazon,
I knew that I do need a practice in programming, data structure and some algorithm.
After I hearded about this opportunity,I do some practice in a site like
GeekForFeek and CareerCup.
And I also read Cracking the Coding Interviews.
And this is what I found on interview:
- You need to writing on Whiteboard to describe about your ideas, opinion and answer.
- All you have for programming is notepad :)
- Here is some answers that I can remember.
- Design parking system
- Write the binary tree search function.
- Write how the stack work (push, pop)
- Write down the insert function in Heap
I did some practice in Java, then I tried to answer it all in Java also. The reason behind is I can finished some tasks by using terminal only. (Use vim as editor and compile it with javac)
And that’s it… I got rejected from Amazon.
