In this video, I will describe five big mistakes job candidates make when interviewing with Amazon and show you how to avoid those mistakes.

I'm Nick, a former Amazon Bar Raiser, who has interviewed hundreds of Amazon candidates and trained many other Amazon Bar Raisers.

🌟 WHY WATCH?
Hi, I’m Nick! 👋
I was an Amazon Bar Raiser for five years, and a Bar Raiser Mentor for two—meaning I helped certify which Amazonians were trusted to make final hiring decisions.

After Amazon, I started Amazon Bound, a coaching service that helps job seekers land roles at Amazon and change their careers.
I also created Amazon Bound School, a private community with weekly live coaching, interview tools, and support from like-minded candidates.
More recently, I built Score My Interview, an AI-driven tool that gives instant feedback on your STAR responses—so you can improve faster without waiting for a coach.

On this channel, I share battle-tested interview strategies, live demos, and insider insights from my years inside Amazon. Whether you’re preparing for a behavioral interview, a Bar Raiser round, or just trying to get your STAR stories right, you’re in the right place.

✅ Products I’ve built:
• Amazon Bound School (community) → live coaching, peer support, and prep tools
• Score My Interview (AI) → fast, affordable STAR feedback when you need it
• Amazon Bound (coaching) → personalized prep with a proven framework
