Amazon Degree Apprenitceship Business Analyst Role: Waitlisted

Hey guys, I recently heard back from the recruiter at Amazon for their Business Analyst Degree Apprenticeship, and I have been waitlisted. They said that this means that when a space opens up when someone rejects the offer or doesn't meet the entry requirements, then I will be contacted immediately. I was wondering if anyone knows what is the possibility of me being contacted and receiving an offer after being waitlisted, and also how many people usually get waitlisted?
Thanks!

Hi, so first i did the arctic shores game. Then i did my video interview which was 3 behavioural questions. Then i got an invite for an AC. For my AC i did one group task that lasted 50 mins, and then I had to do a behavioural interview that was 30 mins. Then after that I did my presentation and got asked a few questions on it. That is the final stage and a week after that I got an email saying I got waitlisted and that if anyone drops out, the role is mine. Hope that helps :smile:

There’s no straight answer , it’s just a matter of waiting now . But the possibility is still there many people accept offers quite early on the decide to go with another apprenticeship especially if the Amazon apprenticeship was not their first choice but then they receive an offer afterwards from their preferred first choice if that makes sense . I applied to Amazon apprenticeship but to a different role and based on the time scale you should hear back anytime from now till August (results day for many ) or September ( the very latest ) . You’d be surprised some people don’t even end up show up on the first day with no communication or decide the apprenticeship is not for them during the probation period . But in the mean time definitely keep applying elsewhere and don’t put all your eggs in one basket .

Hey guys, just wanted to let you all know that yesterday I heard back from Amazon and got off the waiting list (I have been given an offer). I was however told that I need to achieve what I am predicted in order to begin the program - The website and QMUL says the entry requirement is ABB ( i take maths a level), and i predicted higher than that. If i do achieve ABB would i still be eligable?

What did the message from Amazon actually say regarding the grades ? Normally you predicted grades won’t matter , the actually grades you received is what will be use and as long as it meets their grading requirements. Was anything mentioned about the GCSE grades ?
