For those interested in working for Amazon, memorizing and using those principles is a key way to show you'd fit in the company culture.
Corey Salzer, a 24-year-old solutions architect who has been working at Amazon Web Services since August 2017, said that mentioning the principles in your résumé, cover letter, and interview was a major way to impress recruiters.
"One of the big things, I would say, is that Amazon really focuses on our leadership principles," Salzer told Business Insider.
"Memorizing them would definitely help [applicants], and being able to even use them in their language during the interviews," Salzer said.
For example: Use the leadership principle in its exact phrasing and connect it back to something you've done at a previous job, internship, or project.
