SEATTLE — Amazon said Wednesday that it is hiring to fill more than 40,000 corporate and tech roles across the country, as well as tens of thousands of hourly positions in its operations network. As part of that effort, the company said it will hold “its biggest-ever training and recruiting event,” Amazon Career Day, on September 15.

“We’re working hard every day to be the best place for people to have satisfying and fulfilling long-term careers,” Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said. “Amazon continues to grow quickly and relentlessly invent across many areas, and we’re hoping that Career Day gives both job seekers and current Amazon employees the support they need to learn new skills or reimagine their careers at Amazon or elsewhere.”

Amazon said it has hired more than 450,000 people in the U.S. since the beginning of the pandemic, and during last year’s Career Day the company saw the highest one-week number of job applications in the history of the company.

This year’s event is designed to support all job seekers, whether they are looking for a new job or hoping to transition to a different career altogether, according to the company, which said attendees will have the opportunity to participate in one of more than 20,000 personalized career-coaching sessions with an Amazon recruiter. The company is also offering thousands of 1-on-1 career-coaching sessions for Amazon employees looking to grow their careers at the company or elsewhere. The event will bring together world-leading experts—including New York Times best-selling authors David Epstein and Carla Harris—to provide candid advice on how job seekers can start, build, or transition their careers.
