I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Amazon in Sep 2012
Interview
Went to an Amazon career information session at my university. Applied through my university career center and Amazon's website. Was called in for interviews on campus. Prior to the interviews I had to send them an example of my writing style, and sign a letter of confidentiality. Interviews consisted of 2 separate 30 min interviews. The last interviewer congratulated me on going back and getting my MBA at my age. (didn't like the sound of that)
