Ann Hiatt, a job candidate for a junior assistant position at Amazon, impressed founder Jeff Bezos during her interview.
During the interview, Bezos asked Hiatt two questions: a brainteaser about estimating the number of panes of glass in Seattle and a question about her career goals.
Hiatt outlined her approach to estimating the number of panes of glass in Seattle, starting with the number of people and considering the number of buildings and windows they would have.
For the second question, Hiatt explained that she had no idea how to be an assistant, but knew the importance of consistently being outside of her comfort zone and learning from ambitious and passionate people.
