Stick around until the end where I'll be telling you about

That is so valuable and every single Amazon candidate needs.
Let's get started.
So I'm going to give you my biggest insider tip for answering
your Amazon interview questions.
And when you've heard this tip for answering Amazon interview questions,
you will literally be staggered that is not something you've thought of before.
So here we go.
GG's best tip for answering Amazon interview questions
is write down the questions.
Ooh, I know.
I know.
So let me tell you why I say you really should write down
your Amazon interview questions.
Here it is.
So the first reason is, and this is less important, but it's still useful.
First reason is it buys you a bit of time.
Once you're writing down the question, you can get just a couple of seconds
for your brain to kind of go through that little index and work out, which
of the examples that you have kind of prepared yourself with is going
to be the best example to reshape.
Reshaping is important, to reshape towards this question.
So that's one advantage, but by far the biggest advantage of writing
down your Amazon interview questions is so that you stay on track.
I cannot tell you how many times I've been interviewing candidates and at
some point they have just gone off track and they've gone off track because
they've pre-prepared examples, which is what Amazon tells everybody to do.
It's what I'll tell you to do.
They've pre-prepared an example, but they forgotten that they're supposed to be
reshaping that example in the context of the question that they've just been asked
and what can happen is they go off, down on a tangent and your interviewer is not
quite sure if they've lost them or not.
So the interviewer is going to wait and see whether they get themselves
back on track or whether there's some kind of other point that they're
trying to make that hasn't revealed itself yet to the interviewer.
But what can happen is.
Your interview and then starts to realize that you've gone off track and
you're no longer actually answering the Amazon interview question that you
are asked and your interview is mind is worrying away saying, should I stop them?
Should I not stop them?
Are they going to come to the point?
They're not going to come to the point and your interviewer is no longer listening.
Your interviewer is confused and unsure how to drag you back.
Now they're experts, there's no question about that, but nonetheless,
this is a compromising position to put yourself and your interviewer
in and it's totally unnecessary.
If you've just written down the Amazon interview question, as you're giving
your answer every once in a while, you can just check back down and
make sure, you've stayed on track.
It is without question the best, best tip that I can ever give anyone in
terms of answering the Amazon interview question, write it down every time.
