Operations Crash Course 

Thanks for watching!

@@Grant0669 @Grant Anderson does amazon have part time work for operation managers or any managers?

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you sir!

Thank you! Glad to hear you went over these topics in more depth in your class. What helps me get through the long shifts is eating regularly, staying hydrated, not letting the stressors affect my mood, having a rhythm for checking all the data sources I needed to ensure operations run smoothly (they do not always run smoothly), and communicating with the others I work alongside constantly.

Thank you for watching! My degree is industrial engineering as well. I cannot speak on the questions they ask you - preparing stories for the leadership principles is a good idea, and definitely read through any communication you have been sent very thoroughly

Good you are ahead of the game!

@@rainierluna6901 In all honesty I am not familiar with any rules around that! If you apply this could be a great question for your recruiter

If an Area Manager did not want to continue with Amazon, they can take those transferrable skills and work in operations at another company that is focused on supply chain, or really try and take their background and skills and try their best to move into an industry that better suits their interests. I believe there is merit to what you are saying about moving to improve, as well as career trajectories at launches, however that is not always the case and that is definitely not the only way to become successful. It is possible to stay at one site throughout you career in operations, but opportunity is much more plentiful if you are open to relocating when opportunities for career advancement become available at other locations. In terms of being in a role for more than 4 years, I would agree that is quite a long time to be in a role especially if you are at the beginning of your career

Sure, you can reach out to me through Instagram @_grant1995

If you don’t mind me asking, why do you feel that way? I start on April 5th

@@jhartman2730 I’m starting at MEM1. I just wanted to know what to expect; if your problems are location specific, then nevermind.

There may be some delivery stations that do not operate overnight, however from my understanding delivery stations typically do have night shifts

Delivery operations is likely at a delivery station. You would be working with ensuring customer shipments are prepared for last mile delivery

Still there?

:D

Free knowledge!? Like AMAZING!! Thank you for your insight and sharing of operations!

One of the ways that Amazon considers itself "peculiar" is that they don't accept cover letters. They believe everything about a person relevant to the job can be fit and found in the resume.

Not typically - other employers give you the option or require you to. It’s all dependent on which company you’re seeking

@@Grant0669 Appreciate the answer. Love the videos, they’re super informative!

Yes!!!
