Application Guide

Your Step-by-Step Guide to Applying at Amazon

Choose your job and shift

The very first step is to choose your preferred job, schedule, and location that works best for you. Once you have selected your desired shift, review and click "Apply".
(5-10 minutes)

Create an account

After selecting your shift, you'll be prompted to log in to your existing account or create a new account with your email address and a six-number pin you can remember. You can find this by going to the navigation bar at the top of the page and clicking "My account". Then, you'll be asked to verify your account, either through email or your mobile phone.
(5 minutes)

Start application

Once you're signed in to your account, click "Create Application". Read through the questions and ensure you provide all of the required information before submitting your application. Please note that there is a three-hour time limit. If you can’t complete the application within this time, you will have to go back and select your shift again to apply — your original shift choice may no longer be available.

Contingent job offer

At this point, you’ll receive a job offer that is contingent upon your background check, which is explained in the next step. You can review the full job description, and if everything looks good, click "Accept Offer". You also have the option to go back and review the previous page of available shifts, but if you don’t accept the contingent offer fast enough, you could lose your preferred shift to someone else.

Background check

Read through the consent forms for your background check and then tell us about yourself. Fill in personal information like your Amazon work history, legal name, address, etc.
(10 minutes)

Schedule a pre-hire appointment

Pick a day where you can come to an in-person, pre-hire appointment. You'll complete a drug test (if applicable) and fill out a Form I-9 so you can start your new job. Your appointment time isn’t set until you complete all the steps.
(5 minutes)

Review and submit application

Congratulations on making it this far! It’s time to review your background check information and the date and location of your pre-hire appointment. Click "Submit Application" to finish. Now all you need to do is go to your appointment and pass the required screenings.
(5 minutes)

Complete your pre-hire activities

Before the in-person event, remember to log back in to your account to check your pre-hire appointment details and watch the new hire video. You can also change or reschedule your appointment. To save time, you can complete your Form I-9 and submit your badge photo in advance, or you can have your badge photo taken at the event. Check back in after the event to see the status of the required screenings. Once you’ve passed the screenings, you will be Amazon’s newest hire.
