Amazon prefers to hire candidates who have direct experience with the type of work they do. An interviewer will ask this question to determine if you've recently done the type of work they want to hire you for. During an interview with Amazon, all your answers should address the needs of the employer. It would be best to discover these during your pre-interview research about the company, its products, and its practices. You can find the information you need in the job posting and on Amazon's website.

"In my last two roles, I was focused on improving applications that manage transactions and interact with relational database systems. My role in the application development was to develop all the code to control data queries, lookups, and indexing of the data. I worked with other programmers to design the interface, manage the backend database, and develop other application features. The companies I worked for were focused on e-commerce, conducting sales and other transactions via their websites, much like Amazon."
