2. Amazon Warehouse Associates work a variety of shifts, including weekends, holidays, and overnight. They also put in overtime hours during peak seasons. Do you have any limitations in your availability?
How to Answer
Amazon job postings often state upfront that Warehouse Associates are expected to work long shifts, evenings, weekends, and holidays. If you haven't had a chance to clarify this location's scheduling needs, now would be the perfect time to ask. If you are expected to work 12-hour shifts, you should know that detail before blindly agreeing to the work schedule. Be sure that you can meet Amazon's expectations before committing.
Answer Example
"I am accustomed to working long shifts including nights, weekends, and holidays. I am flexible for days or nights, weekdays or weekends, and the like. In my current role, we are offered overtime pay for statutory holidays, which I find a great incentive to get employees on board with working major holidays. Are there similar incentives offered for Amazon team members?"
