Online assessment best practices
Computer setup
Ensure you’re taking the OA on a laptop or desktop computer. We don’t recommend mobile devices or tablets due to limited functionality and user-interface experience.
After you complete the OA
After you submit the OA, a confirmation page displays to verify that you completed the assessment and thank you for your participation. If you don’t see this page after 2 minutes, close your browser.
If you don’t receive a completion email within 24 hours of completing the OA, reach out to your Amazon recruiting contact.
