140 Amazon recruiters will offer over 2,000 one-on-one career coaching sessions for interested participants to help grow in their careers at the company or elsewhere
Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, will host its first-ever Career Day in India on September 16. This virtual and interactive event will bring together Amazon leadership and employees to share what makes Amazon an exciting workplace. The company would also showcase how it is steadfast in its commitment to help India unleash its true potential in the 21st century.
Amazon said it is currently hiring for more than 8000 direct job openings across 35 cities in the country, including cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Gurgaon, and Mumbai. The other cities include Kolkata, Noida, Amritsar, Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Coimbatore, Jaipur, Kanpur, Ludhiana, Pune, and Surat. These job opportunities are spread across corporate, technology, customer service, and operations roles.
Career Day will feature interesting and informative sessions including a fireside chat with Amazon CEO, Andy Jassy, who will share his own career experience and advice for job-seekers.
“Our commitment in India is that we will create around 20 lakh direct and indirect jobs by 2025,” said Deepti Varma, HR Leader, Corporate, APAC, and MENA, Amazon, in an interview. “We've already created around 10 lakh direct and indirect jobs. Even during the pandemic, we had nearly created around 3 lakh direct and indirect jobs across technologies, content creation, retail, logistics, and manufacturing. The whole Career Day event is designed to support all job seekers when they are looking for new jobs or sometimes they're also wanting to transition into a different career. This is an opportunity for them to understand Amazon better.”
Besides India, Amazon is hosting the event for the first time in countries such as Japan, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, UK, and Canada. “From the past two years, Career Day has been hosted in the US. Looking at the response the event was receiving across different Amazon geographies, we decided that we will scale it up beyond the U.S,” said Varma.
As part of the event, besides multiple global and India-focused sessions, 140 Amazon recruiters will conduct 2000 free, one-on-one career coaching sessions with job seekers across the country. The recruiters will offer advice on how to approach the job search process effectively, resume-building skills, and interview tips that will help candidates in their search for the right jobs.
