Applying for an Amazon job is straightforward, but there are several steps you'll need to complete before your application is considered. Depending on the position, you may be asked to create an account, submit an online application, complete a hiring assessment, and monitor your application status throughout the hiring process.
Follow these steps to apply for an Amazon job.
Step 1: Search for Amazon Jobs
Start by visiting the Amazon.jobs website and searching for positions that match your skills, experience, or preferred location. You can filter openings by job category, schedule, work location, and employment type to narrow your search.
Click on a job listing to review the responsibilities, basic qualifications, pay information (when available), shift details, and hiring requirements before applying.
Step 2: Create an Amazon Jobs Account or Sign In
To submit an application, you'll need to sign in to Amazon.jobs.
If you're a first-time applicant, you'll have to create a new account using your email address. Alternatively, Amazon also lets you sign in using:
- Amazon
If you've applied to an Amazon job listing before, you may have to sign in using your Amazon.jobs credentials. If you do not remember, you can reset your password.
Step 3: Complete the Amazon Job Application
Fill out the online application with your contact information, work history, education, and any additional details requested for the position.
Depending on the role, you may also need to:
- Upload a resume
- Verify your work authorization
- Select your preferred shift or work location
- Answer role-specific questions
Review your information carefully before submitting your Amazon job application.
Step 4: Complete Next Steps Post-Submission
Many Amazon jobs require candidates to complete an online assessment after submitting their application - you may be immediately prompted to do so like in the screenshot below.
While there are various Amazon.jobs assessment types, the main goal is to evaluate your work style, problem-solving abilities, and job-related skills. The type of assessment varies depending on the role you've applied for.
If an assessment is required, you'll receive instructions immediately after applying or by email. Completing it promptly can help prevent delays in the hiring process.
A side note: on this page, you'll also be able to opt into SMS updates on your application status (see button that says Enable SMS updates)
Step 5: Check Your Amazon Application Status
After submitting your application, sign in to your Amazon.jobs account to track your progress. We walk you through this step by step in another article, linked here.
Your candidate dashboard lets you view your current application status, see whether additional steps are required, and stay informed throughout the hiring process.
In the screenshot below, you can see that the assessment has not yet been completed and there are 29 days left to do so. Taking next steps will push the application through the funnel.
Step 6: Watch for Email Updates
Amazon sends important hiring updates by email, so check your inbox regularly after applying.
You may receive emails about:
- Hiring assessments
- Interview invitations
- Requests for additional information
- Application status updates
- Job offers and onboarding
Be sure to check your spam or junk folder as well so you don't miss any time-sensitive communications.
