About the Episode
We live in difficult times. Over 17 million Americans have filed for unemployment benefits due to layoffs in March and April. More than likely, this trend will continue over the summer. Millions more are at home, adjusting to working remotely, homeschooling their kids, and facing the uncertainty that the recession brings.
It is not a secret that large tech companies are some of the best prepared ones to face the current situation. Amazon is particularly well-placed to not only survive the recession but to grow. Granted, a lot of their openings will be for fulfillment roles, but we can still learn from their adaptability and ability to scale solutions during the current crisis.
I spoke over Zoom with my friend Karin Ulloa, a project analyst for Human Resources at Amazon, to get her take on the current situation. We talked about what it’s like to work at Amazon during Covid-19, how to build relationships with recruiters using LinkedIn, how to get referrals from Amazon employees, and how to navigate a layoff if you find yourself facing one.
