Your future. Your opportunity. Your day.
Amazon Career Day is a free, virtual event on Wednesday, September 16, 2020. This live, interactive experience is for all job seekers, regardless of your level of experience, professional field, or background – and whether you’re interested in working at Amazon or elsewhere.
Throughout this one-day event, you will have the opportunity to livestream fireside chats, panel discussions, and interviews with recruiting experts and industry leaders giving advice on how to help you land your next job. You’ll also have the chance to participate in a 1-on-1 career coaching session with an Amazon recruiter, and can use this time to get personalized advice on how to navigate the current job market.
Amazon employs more than 600,000 people across the U.S. – and we continue to hire. During Career Day, you will learn about the tens of thousands of jobs available at Amazon, as well as our unique company culture, and industry-leading employee benefits.

Last year, 17,000 job seekers attended Amazon Career Day events in six U.S.cities – and more than 200,000 people applied for jobs in the week leading up to the event. Building on that success, Amazon is taking the event virtual and opening Amazon Career Day 2020 to everyone, regardless of their location. The event will give participants the chance to:
- Receive individualized career coaching. A team of 1,000 Amazonrecruiters will conduct 20,000 free, one-on-one career coaching sessions with job seekers across the country. Attendees will be able to select their fields of interest: hourly roles; tech and non-tech positions at the company’s headquarters, corporate offices, and Tech Hubs; jobs for veterans; and opportunities for students and recent graduates. Amazon will match the attendees with an appropriate recruiter to help them prepare for their next job.
- Discover new tools to navigate the current job market. The mainstage event will be headlined by award-winning television host, activist, and life coach Karamo Brown and former professional football player and NASA astronaut Leland Melvin, who will share their personal stories of career change and overcoming adversity. Attendees will also hear from recruiting experts and career coaches giving advice on how they can adapt their skills and experiences, build their professional brands, and reimagine their resumes in order to improve their chances of landing a job.
- Learn more about open roles at Amazon. Participants will be able to apply for a wide range of roles at Amazon, with recruiters on hand to talk about entry-level positions in the company’s operations network; corporate roles at its 18 Tech Hubs; as well as engineering, data science, marketing, human resources, and finance roles that support Alexa, AWS, Operations Technology, and Prime Video. Amazon leaders Kara Hurst, Vice President Worldwide Sustainability; David Bozeman, Vice President Amazon Transportation Services; and Cherris Armour, Director of Amazon Worldwide Operations will discuss their roles and share insights about Amazon’s culture. Attendees will also be able to learn more about Amazon’s industry-leading employee pay and benefits – including a $15-an-hour minimum wage, comprehensive healthcare from day one, 401(k) matching, up to 20 weeks of paid parental leave, and access to the Upskilling 2025 program, Amazon’s $700 million commitment to upskill 100,000 employees for higher-wage, in-demand jobs.
- Participate in interactive Amazon career workshops. Attendees will have the opportunity to join smaller breakout sessions for those interested in hourly opportunities at Amazon’s fulfillment centers and physical stores, led by staffing specialists, and live coding reviews with senior Amazon software development engineers.
