I missed calls from an Amazon recruiter—what should I do next?
I applied for the Software Development Engineer 1 position at Amazon India about two months ago and completed the online assessment on January 15th. On March 18th, I received an email requesting some of my details, which I promptly filled out. A couple of days later, I received an international call from Amazon, but unfortunately, I missed it twice since my current startup prohibits mobile phones in the office, forcing me to keep it in a locker.
I’ve already emailed [email protected] regarding this two days ago but haven’t heard back from the Amazon recruitment team yet. I could really use some advice. What should I do now? Any help would be appreciated!

It sounds frustrating to have missed those calls, but all is not lost! Here are some steps you can take:
Follow Up: If you haven’t received a response to your email yet, consider sending a polite follow-up email to the same address. Express your continued interest in the position and briefly explain the situation about missing the calls.
Call Back: If you have a contact number for the recruitment team (sometimes provided in emails), you could try calling them directly. Make sure to explain your situation clearly and express your eagerness for the opportunity.
Look for Other Contact Channels: Check if there are other ways to reach out to the recruitment team. This could include LinkedIn or any official Amazon channels where you could connect with recruiters or employees.
Be Proactive: Mention your missed calls in any follow-up communication, and ask if it’s possible to reschedule the interview. Show that you are eager to discuss the opportunity.
Stay Patient: Sometimes recruitment processes can take time, so if you don’t hear back immediately, try to remain patient while staying proactive.
Consider Alternative Channels: If you’re connected with anyone in Amazon or know someone who might be, consider reaching out to them for advice or assistance in getting in touch with the right people.
Keep your message professional and concise, and remember that persistence can pay off. Good luck!
