How I Passed Amazon Interview (Proven Framework)

[@ITProjectManagers]

🔥 There’s one skill that separates great IT Project Managers from everyone else-project tailoring. Most project managers get stuck trying to learn every new tool and process out there. They dive deep into theories but still struggle to deliver projects on time and within budget. It’s frustrating. The truth is, great project managers don’t try to do it all-they focus on tailoring simple processes and tools that work best for their team and projects. That’s what creates transparency, predictability, and results. But here’s the thing-tailoring isn’t just guessing what might work. It’s about knowing three critical components: 1) Understanding project management on a deeper level. 2) Knowing exactly what to tailor. 3) Applying it effectively in real companies with real people. That’s why I created the Professional Development Plan for IT Project Managers-to help you master project tailoring and finally become the project manager who delivers every time, no matter the challenge. ✅ Click the link below to get your development plan now and take the next step toward mastering project management. itpmschool.com/get-plan?

This video was super helpful in nailing my interview loop and getting my first Big Tech role! Your full course on the ppm framework has allowed me to confidently transition from "accidental" IT project manager to now playing the big leagues.

[@ITProjectManagers]

Glad it was helpful!

I really enjoyed your video. I am trying to figure out though what a technical interview for such roles in AWS could look like. I've applied for a CSM. I know it's off topic a bit but would appreciate your input.

[@ITProjectManagers]

There are whole KZbin channels that explain the interview process. I'm not the best expert of all ins and outs. But overall, you get a series of interviews and interviewers often stick to the script and ask situational questions based on Amazon Leadership Principles.

Excellent content as usual!

[@ITProjectManagers]

Glad you think so!

Looking forward to more interview videos like this. If we have interview for like Technical PMs are you able to assist on a 1-1 basis with stories around Project types. Like I have a couple of interviews coming up soon

[@ITProjectManagers]

Yes, I do provide one-on-one coaching and will be able to help you prepare for an interview.

Hey Dmytro great video. I have a little bit offtopic question. I work as a PM in a small (10 people) company. Our team develops high-end websites. We use Gitlab for task management but we want to improve our planning, scope management etc. We plan to sync a PM software with our ongoing gitlab projects. What do you recommend? Jira and Clickup look the best to me but I need some more experienced answer here. Thanks in advance.

[@ITProjectManagers]

Hello, Good question. I would recommend Jira. First of all, chances are high some of your people already know it. It's a tested and proven solution. It integrates with everything. And it scales well. Plus, there are tons of information on how to use Jira. ClickUp is also a good option. If you work with Scrum, then it might be more difficult to kickstart with it.

Thank you Dmytro

My pleasure

Hi there, a quick question. I have working experience in customer service and quality analyst and want to step into project management in IT and your videos are exceptional. One more thing i also did my graduation certificate in project management from one of the universities in Canada. I m planning to take your course but first i would like to ask that will it be possible for me to get the job by doing your course only or should i consider doing any additional certifications as well. Thanks in advance and looking forward for your answer

[@ITProjectManagers]

Good question. It all depends on two factors: 1) How much of your experience can you reframe into project management related achievements. Your resume should discribe you as a PM. 2) What level you want to apply for. For entry-level role, you don't need additional certification. If you want to try to jump into mid or senior level at once, most probably, you need PMP. But you should always keep in mind this. To step into IT project management the path is the following: Resume -> Interview -> Job offer.

[@henkondemand]

Dmytro, why did you pass up on the job? I don't think I caught you going in to that in the video.

[@ITProjectManagers]

I was considering two job offers. The compensation at Amazon is fancy. However, when you break it down it appears you get the maximum benefits only in 4 years. And you get much less in the first two years. At the same time, I wanted to see what project management look like in a tech startup. There were other considerations, but the second job offer had more freedom and flexibility.

[@henkondemand]

@@ITProjectManagers Sounds like a great choice, I think I would have done the same
