6 years ago, when I interviewed with Amazon, my recruiter Katie provided a lot of guidance on what topics I should prepare for the role.
I didn& #39;t have a lot of interview experience, and her help was critical in getting me the offer.

If you are in the progress of an interview, don& #39;t be shy to ask the recruiter what& #39;s going to be covered.
Data science is very broad, and nobody remembers everything on top of our head, and we all need time to prepare.

Asking recruiters for help doesn& #39;t make you less attractive as a candidate!
Recruiters don& #39;t usually vote on you, and it& #39;s their job to help the right candidates with potential to get hired.

We all heard of or have experiences in recruiting & #39;horror stories& #39; when scheduling went wrong, but rarely see positive stories about recruiters.
I believe most of the recruiters are doing their best to help us.

Fast forward to 6 years later, I have grown from a junior BI engineer to a senior data scientist, and Katie has become a Principal Executive Recruiter.
I only ran into her a few times in the elevator, but I want to say thank you Katie and wish you all the best!

Never underestimate the recruiter you talk to during your interview process.
