    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • This was an introductory virtual event that allowed all participants to gain an understanding of how Amazon is as a company and also how the working culture is here. There were really enticing tasks set that were relatable, relevant and innovative from Amazon. The main one being writing PRFAQs for 'mock cases'.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I was really able to develop on my interpersonal skills. In specific, my communication and team-working skills were significantly developed because of how involving the 'mock' tasks were. Also, time management was developed as this was a two-day event and being quick on my feet to get the tasks completed within this duration was critical.
