Jeff Bezos runs Amazon with 14 defined leadership principles. Here's how a 24-year-old engineer leveraged 5 of them to land a job.

From "ownership" to "dive deep," these guidelines are designed to drive innovative thinking and quick action.

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.
