Question 1
what product should we choose to carry if we only have one cube foot storage left in our warehouse?

Question 1
After online assessment I had a telephone interview with the person that would be my manager. You need to familiarise yourself with the Amazon Leadership Principles - I used YouTube for this.
An example: I was asked to describe a time (using STAR) when I had to use data to dive deep to solve a problem and then asked 3 follow up questions on what I had said.
