SEATTLE, Sept. 9, 2020 /CNW/ - Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) today announced it will host its 2020 Career Day on Wednesday, September 16. As a part of the North America-wide virtual event, Amazon will give attendees the opportunity to learn more about the nearly 800 corporate and tech jobs currently available in many Canadian locations, with additional hourly positions in the company's operations network to be announced soon. Amazon will also mobilize 1,000 of its recruiters to provide 20,000 career coaching sessions to attendees in a single day. Anyone can participate in Career Day 2020 by going to amazon.jobs/careerday to register and book an appointment with an Amazon recruiter.
With many people left unemployed by the economic impact of COVID-19 and searching for new jobs, Career Day is designed to support all job seekers, regardless of their level of experience, professional field, or background – regardless of whether they are looking for a job at Amazon or another company. On top of the 20,000 one-on-one coaching sessions, Career Day also includes three hours of mainstage programming that will feature fireside chats, panel discussions, and interviews with leading career-advice experts and Amazon executives. Starting today, participants will be able to register for live software-code review workshops, as well as breakout sessions to learn more about jobs in Amazon's growing logistics network.
"For somebody who loves to build, invent, and create value for customers, Amazon is an exciting place to grow your career. We're proud to offer quality jobs for Canadians while investing in economic recovery," said Jesse Dougherty, Amazon VP and Vancouver Site Lead.

Last year, 17,000 job seekers attended Amazon Career Day events in six U.S. cities – and more than 200,000 people applied for jobs in the week leading up to the event. Building on that success, Amazon is taking the event virtual and opening Amazon Career Day 2020 to everyone, regardless of their location. The event will give participants the chance to:
