00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,320
Hey everyone and welcome back for another deep dive.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:04,640
Today we are tackling something

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,920
that a lot of you have been asking about.

4
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,800
Amazon's permanent work from home policy

5
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,320
and all of those sweet, sweet remote job opportunities

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,840
that are popping up because of it.

7
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,360
It's definitely been making waves.

8
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,000
Yeah, and that's why we wanted to get this

9
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,760
depth dive out to you, AASAP, you know.

10
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:21,600
Right.

11
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:22,600
So you can have like a head start

12
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,280
in this evolving job market because let's be honest,

13
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,680
it's changing really quickly.

14
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:27,520
For sure.

15
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,120
So we found this really helpful YouTube video

16
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,800
that basically breaks down exactly how to find

17
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,440
and apply for these Amazon remote positions.

18
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,280
Awesome.

19
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:37,120
Yeah, right.

20
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,680
And get this, this video claims that there are literally

21
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,280
over 500 full-time remote jobs at Amazon right now,

22
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,920
plus tons of part-time gigs too.

23
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,080
Wow, that's a lot.

24
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:47,920
It is, right.

25
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,720
And it's not just limited to the US either.

26
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:50,560
Oh really?

27
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,520
Yeah, they're hiring remotely in like the UK, Italy,

28
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,360
the Netherlands, like all over the place.

29
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,200
That's incredible.

30
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,040
I know.

31
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,200
Okay, so in this deep dive, we're going to walk you through

32
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,240
exactly how to navigate Amazon's job portal,

33
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,120
understand the specific requirements for these remote roles,

34
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,080
and of course, craft an application

35
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,640
that'll make you stand out from the crowd.

36
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:10,520
Sounds good.

37
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,800
Okay, so first up, let's talk about this whole

38
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,480
work from home revolution that's happening.

39
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,520
I mean, Amazon is a trillion dollar company

40
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,040
and they are going all in on remote work.

41
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,440
Yeah, it's a huge shift and I think it really speaks

42
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:28,080
to the growing demand for flexible work arrangements.

43
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,160
I mean, let's face it, people want more control

44
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,920
over their lives and their work schedules

45
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,480
and companies like Amazon, well, they're realizing

46
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,160
that embracing remote work can give them

47
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,200
a competitive advantage.

48
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,600
It's like they're saying, we want the best talent,

49
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,080
and if that means letting them work from their couch

50
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,800
and their pajamas, then so be it.

51
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,640
Exactly.

52
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,880
Okay, so now let's get down to the nitty gritty.

53
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,600
How do we actually find these remote jobs?

54
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,360
Well, according to the video, the first step

55
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,120
is heading over to Amazon's job portal

56
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,160
that's amazon.jobs for all of you taking notes,

57
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,040
but then you can't just type in remote jobs

58
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,160
and call it a day.

59
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,480
The video actually emphasizes the importance

60
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,720
of using specific keywords and filters in your search.

61
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,840
Like for example, you wanna make sure

62
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,520
that you are actually typing remote into the location tab.

63
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:14,640
That's key, it is.

64
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:18,480
And then you also wanna select the work from home category

65
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,480
just to really make sure that you are seeing

66
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,880
all of the relevant positions.

67
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:22,720
Makes sense.

68
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,680
And another thing the video points out,

69
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,840
and this is crucial, you have to keep checking back regularly.

70
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:28,760
Oh, that's a good point.

71
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,680
New jobs are being added all the time,

72
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,920
so don't just assume that if you don't see something today,

73
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:34,520
there won't be anything tomorrow.

74
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:35,720
Persistence is key.

75
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:36,600
Right.

76
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,520
Okay, so let's say you've done all of that,

77
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,640
you're on amazon.jobs, you filtered your search,

78
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:45,280
and you've come across a position that peaks your interest.

79
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,600
One of the roles that the video specifically highlights,

80
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,040
and it seems like there's a ton of demand

81
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,760
for this right now, is the virtual customer care

82
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:52,920
advisor.

83
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:55,680
Now on the surface, it seems pretty straightforward, right?

84
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,560
You're basically helping customers virtually,

85
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,680
answering questions, resolving issues, that sort of thing.

86
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,440
But I have a feeling there's more to it than that.

87
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,280
What do you think?

88
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,320
Yeah, for sure.

89
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,880
The video actually dines into some

90
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,720
of the specific responsibilities,

91
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,000
and it's clear that Amazon's looking for people

92
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,960
who are not just good at customer service,

93
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,400
but who also have excellent communication skills,

94
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,040
a knack for problem solving,

95
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,080
and of course, that all-important ability

96
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,080
to manage their time effectively,

97
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,760
especially when they're working remotely.

98
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:26,600
Makes sense.

99
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,360
I mean, you're basically your own boss

100
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,440
when you're working from home.

101
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,280
Exactly.

102
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,720
So you have to be able to stay on track

103
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,720
and get things done, even when there's no one looking

104
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:34,920
over your shoulder.

105
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,960
Oh, and by the way, did I mention that the video even hints

106
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,320
at some of the funny customer feedback and reviews

107
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,720
you might come across?

108
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:42,960
No way, really.

109
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,320
Yeah, apparently it can get pretty wild out there

110
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,960
in the world of customer service.

111
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,480
You never know what people are gonna say or ask.

112
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,600
Yeah, that's true.

113
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,480
Okay, so let's say you've got the skills,

114
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,440
you found a position you're interested in, what's next?

115
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,560
How do you actually make your application stand out?

116
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,840
Okay, so you've aced the application process

117
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,880
and landed that awesome remote job at Amazon, congrats.

118
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,360
But now the real work begins.

119
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,320
Yeah, it's one thing to get the job,

120
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,720
but how do you actually make sure you're thriving

121
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,520
in this new work-from-home environment?

122
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,600
That's the million dollar question, right?

123
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,120
And thankfully, our YouTube video

124
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,200
has some great tips for that too.

125
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,800
One of the things they emphasize,

126
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,320
and it might seem obvious,

127
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,040
is the importance of time management.

128
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,440
Oh yeah, that's huge.

129
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,760
When you're setting your own schedule,

130
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,120
it's really easy to let things slide, you know?

131
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:29,960
Oh, tell me about it.

132
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,960
Suddenly the dishes look really appealing,

133
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,400
or you're like, I should probably reorganize

134
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,040
my entire closet right now.

135
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,440
Exactly, and the video actually acknowledges that.

136
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,840
Like, it's not about pretending

137
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:41,280
those distractions don't exist,

138
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:43,400
it's about finding ways to manage them.

139
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,600
One of the tips they mention

140
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,560
is creating a dedicated workspace.

141
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,400
Yeah, yes, the elusive home office.

142
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,600
Right, but even if you don't have like

143
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,120
a whole extra room to dedicate to work,

144
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,160
it's about carving out a space in your home

145
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,560
that is specifically for work.

146
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,240
Like a corner in your living room,

147
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,680
or even just your kitchen table.

148
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:04,600
Yeah, exactly.

149
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,200
As long as it's a designated area

150
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,200
where you can sit down and focus.

151
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,720
It's about sending that signal to your brain,

152
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,120
okay, it's work time now.

153
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,080
Right, and it's not just about the physical space either.

154
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:15,920
No.

155
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,320
It's also about those mental boundaries.

156
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,880
The video talks about the importance

157
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,720
of setting a schedule and actually sticking to it.

158
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,120
Even when you have the flexibility

159
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,600
to work whenever you want.

160
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,000
Exactly, take discipline for sure.

161
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,680
Oh, definitely, but it's also kind of empowering in a way.

162
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,520
You know?

163
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,680
Totally, and then of course there's communication.

164
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,400
Oh, right, that's crucial when you're working remotely.

165
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,800
You have to be even more intentional

166
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,080
about staying connected with your team and your manager.

167
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,480
Like checking in regularly,

168
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,600
being proactive with your communication,

169
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,440
making sure everyone's on the same page.

170
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,400
Right, the video also talks about using virtual meetings,

171
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,720
not just for work updates, but for team bonding

172
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,840
and just casual conversations too.

173
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:55,040
It's about recreating those, you know.

174
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,520
Oh, like the water cooler moments.

175
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,160
Exactly, both water cooler moments,

176
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,600
even if it's through a screen.

177
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,200
I love that, virtual water cooler chats.

178
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,960
Okay, so we've covered the time management piece,

179
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,360
the communication piece,

180
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,840
but what about just those individual challenges

181
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:09,200
that come with working remotely?

182
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,800
You know, like feeling isolated or unmotivated

183
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,120
when you're not surrounded by colleagues?

184
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,600
Yeah, that's a real struggle for a lot of people.

185
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,240
And I think it's where self-awareness comes in.

186
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,680
The video really emphasizes the importance

187
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,160
of understanding your own work style,

188
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,240
what you need to be productive,

189
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,400
and to actually thrive in a remote environment.

190
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,320
Yeah, some people need a lot of structure

191
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,400
while others need more flexibility.

192
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,720
Exactly, it's about figuring out what works for you.

193
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,400
And then, and this is key, communicating that to your team.

194
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,520
Like if you're struggling with something,

195
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,160
don't be afraid to ask for help.

196
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,040
Right, because you're not alone in this.

197
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,520
Nope, Amazon has a ton of resources

198
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,320
to support the remote employees,

199
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,200
and your manager is there to help you succeed.

200
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,480
So, yeah, it's a team effort,

201
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,760
even when the team is spread out all over the place.

202
00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,880
That's a good point.

203
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,800
Okay, so we've talked about time management,

204
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,080
communication, self-awareness,

205
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,360
but I'm curious, what does it actually mean

206
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,360
to thrive in a remote role?

207
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,920
Hmm, that's a good question.

208
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,120
I think it boils down to finding that balance

209
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,360
between productivity and well-being.

210
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,240
So it's not just about getting your work done.

211
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,320
No, it's about creating a work environment

212
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,720
that supports both your professional goals

213
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,520
and your personal life.

214
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,240
It's about feeling fulfilled and energized,

215
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,080
both in and outside of work.

216
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,000
Because at the end of the day,

217
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,640
that's what really matters, right?

218
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,080
Feeling good about the work you're doing,

219
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,400
and having the time and energy to enjoy life outside of work.

220
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,440
Yeah, absolutely.

221
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,240
Okay, so as we head into the final part of this deep dive,

222
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,640
maybe take a moment to think about your own work style

223
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,240
and what you would need to truly thrive in a remote role.

224
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,720
Yeah, think about your strengths, what motivates you,

225
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,160
and what your non-negotiables are

226
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,960
when it comes to work-life balance.

227
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,120
Okay, so we're back and ready to wrap up our deep dive

228
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,760
into Amazon's remote job scene.

229
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,280
We've covered a lot of ground

230
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,320
from finding those hidden gems on Amazon's job portal

231
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,960
to figuring out how to actually thrive

232
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,520
in a work-from-home setup.

233
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,160
Right, and now it's time to get really tactical

234
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,360
and explore some specific strategies

235
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,640
for making remote work,

236
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,840
especially at a company like Amazon,

237
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:15,960
really work for you.

238
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,360
Okay, so less theory, more action.

239
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,200
Exactly, and thankfully our YouTube guru

240
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,560
gives us some solid advice.

241
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,080
Okay, lay it on us.

242
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,160
Well, they really hammer home the importance

243
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,240
of having a dedicated workspace,

244
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,000
which I know we've touched on already,

245
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,960
but it's so easy to underestimate

246
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,560
how much our environment impacts our productivity.

247
00:08:35,560 --> 00:08:37,720
Yeah, it's true, like trying to work from your bed,

248
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,960
sure, it's comfy, but it's not exactly screaming,

249
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,200
get stuff done.

250
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,640
But even if you don't have a whole room

251
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:43,640
to turn into an office,

252
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,360
just having that separation, that mental shift

253
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,960
from home mode to work mode

254
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,760
can make a world of difference.

255
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,920
And the video actually takes it a step further

256
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,000
and talks about the ergonomics of your workspace.

257
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,560
Like, are you sitting comfortably?

258
00:08:57,560 --> 00:08:58,520
Do you have good lighting?

259
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,040
Oh, right, those little things.

260
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,800
Yeah, but they can actually make or break

261
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,800
your productivity and well-being in the long run.

262
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,400
So we're talking about more than just a desk and a chair.

263
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,440
We're talking about creating a space

264
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,000
that actually supports your physical and mental health.

265
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:14,840
Exactly.

266
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:15,680
And speaking of health,

267
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:18,880
I'm guessing this ties into the video's emphasis

268
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,240
on taking breaks, right?

269
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,840
Oh, absolutely.

270
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,920
They really stress the importance of getting up

271
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,920
from your computer, moving around,

272
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,640
just giving your brain a break,

273
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,360
not just for your physical health,

274
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,200
but for your mental clarity too.

275
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,760
Yeah, like hitting the reset button.

276
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:33,600
Exactly.

277
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,000
Okay, but what about those times

278
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,640
when you're feeling stuck, you know,

279
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,400
unmotivated, like you're just in a rut?

280
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,040
Any advice for those inevitable work from home slumps?

281
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,520
Well, one thing the video suggests

282
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,960
is actually communicating,

283
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,480
but not just with your colleagues or your manager,

284
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,480
with yourself.

285
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,640
Like, have a conversation with yourself.

286
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:52,880
Well, kind of.

287
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,240
It's more about checking in with your own goals,

288
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,360
your motivations.

289
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,400
Like a pip talk.

290
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,720
Yeah, kind of.

291
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,120
Reminding yourself why you're doing this,

292
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,960
what you want to achieve,

293
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,720
and even acknowledging those feelings

294
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,320
of frustration or overwhelm.

295
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,800
Because let's be real, they happen.

296
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,600
Oh, they definitely happen.

297
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,080
Okay, so beyond those individual strategies,

298
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,200
the video also talks about the importance

299
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,640
of building a strong remote work culture.

300
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,360
Right, even if you're a part of a larger company,

301
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,200
like Amazon.

302
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,040
So it's about fostering that sense of connection,

303
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,480
even when you're not physically together.

304
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,880
Any tips on how to do that?

305
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,960
Well, they suggest being proactive,

306
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,000
reaching out to colleagues,

307
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,440
not just for work stuff,

308
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,240
but just for casual conversation.

309
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,080
Oh, okay.

310
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,080
Like just to chat.

311
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,000
Yeah, just to check in.

312
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,880
And recreate those hallway conversations

313
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,880
or those coffee break moments.

314
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:41,720
Exactly.

315
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,240
And of course, virtual team building activities.

316
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,200
Oh, right, like online games or book clubs.

317
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,720
Yeah, anything that helps you connect

318
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,400
with your colleagues on a more personal level.

319
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,800
It's like building that virtual water cooler.

320
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,960
Okay, so as we wrap up this deep dive,

321
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,520
I want to bring it back to that idea

322
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,520
of thriving in a remote role.

323
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,200
It's not just about getting tasks done,

324
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,640
it's about creating a work life that you actually enjoy.

325
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,160
Right, and that's where the video

326
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,520
leaves us with this great question to Ponder.

327
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:11,760
Oh, what's that?

328
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,640
It asks, what unique skills or experiences

329
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,280
can you bring to a remote role at Amazon,

330
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,080
and how can you best showcase those in your application?

331
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,000
Good question.

332
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,880
It's like, it's challenging us to think beyond our resume,

333
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,640
to think about those less tangible skills,

334
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,000
like our adaptability, our communication style,

335
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,520
our self-motivation, all those things that are so crucial

336
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:33,560
when you're working remotely.

337
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:35,840
Exactly, it's about figuring out what makes you,

338
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,680
what makes you valuable, and then letting that shine through

339
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:40,640
in your application, in your interviews,

340
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:41,640
and in your everyday work.

341
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:42,720
I love that.

342
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,160
Okay, so as we say goodbye to this Amazon Remote Jobs Deep Dive,

343
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,480
I hope you're feeling informed, inspired,

344
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,480
and maybe even a little bit empowered to go out there

345
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,280
and explore those remote work opportunities.

346
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,240
Yeah, the world of work is changing,

347
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,080
and remote work is here to stay.

348
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,520
It's an exciting time to be shaping your career

349
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,360
and finding a path that really aligns with your values

350
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,200
and your lifestyle.

351
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,960
Couldn't have said it better myself.

352
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:33,560
So until next time, happy job hunting everyone.
