How to prepare your Behaviour Interview: for AWS and Big Techs

How to prepare your Behaviour Interview: for AWS and Big Techs

Thu, Nov 12, 5:00 PM
From AWS SBG at Imperial College London - South Kensington Campus

**You’ve worked on the projects. Now learn how to explain what you contributed — and why it matters.** Preparing for internships, placements or graduate applications? Curious about AWS and what to expect from the recruitment process? Join us for an interactive **Career Boost Workshop — open to everyone,** regardless of academic background or experience level. This session combines career insights with practical exercises to help you talk about your projects and experience more clearly and confidently. **What to expect** 1. Meet an Amazon employee and learn about AWS: Hear an introduction to Amazon Web Services and an overview of its recruitment and interview process, with an opportunity to ask questions about preparing for applications. 2. Turn your projects into stronger interview answers: Using AWS’s Storytelling for Career Readiness materials, we’ll explore how to structure answers with STAR — Situation, Task, Action, Result. Practise explaining your individual contribution, the decisions you made and what you learned. 3. Practise in small-group mock interviews: Take turns as the candidate and interviewer, with support and feedback from Imperial staff and senior students. The focus will be on behavioural questions, teamwork, problem-solving and communicating your project experience — not testing your AWS knowledge. **Who will be supporting the session?** Alongside our Amazon guest, we’ll be joined by Jamie Wright, a Careers Consultant at Imperial Careers Service. You don’t need a polished answer or a clear career plan to join. This is a supportive space to try things out, ask questions and improve through feedback. **What to bring** Bring one real project, teamwork or work experience you’d like to practise talking about, plus a laptop or notebook for your notes. A role description you’re interested in is helpful, but not required. No previous AWS or cloud experience is needed. Date: Thursday, 12 November 2026 Time: 17:00–19:00 Location: Dyson Building, Imperial College London — Lv3 301 **Come away with a stronger project story, interview practice and a clearer idea of your next steps.** [Sign up for your interest here...](https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=B3WJK4zudUWDC0-CZ8PTB7mDmRj-NtZHuo7MWDyDeHhUOFQ0MUZXNzBGN09UUUZSTElRUkdBSkhIUy4u)

Navigating Corporate Trauma

Navigating Corporate Trauma

Navigating Corporate Trauma From Surviving to Thriving: Reclaim Your Confidence, Your Voice & Your Power Have you ever walked away from a workplace feeling less confident, less valued, or questioning your own abilities? Perhaps you’ve experienced a toxic boss, workplace bullying, discrimination, gaslighting, betrayal, burnout, or a corporate culture that slowly chipped away at your confidence. Maybe you left that environment behind, but the impact followed you into your next role, your relationships, or even the way you see yourself. You’re not alone. And your workplace experiences do not have to define your future. Join Women on the RISE for an empowering, thought-provoking, and practical evening dedicated to understanding, navigating, and recovering from corporate trauma. This isn’t another traditional networking event or leadership seminar. It’s an opportunity to have the conversations that too often go unspoken in the corporate world. What You’ll Discover During this interactive three-hour workshop, we’ll explore: * Recognising Corporate Trauma: Understand how toxic workplace experiences, bullying, discrimination, exclusion, and chronic stress can affect your confidence, identity, and career. * Breaking Free from Self-Doubt: Explore how workplace experiences can contribute to imposter feelings, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and fear of speaking up. * Rebuilding Your Confidence: Discover practical techniques to reconnect with your strengths, trust your judgment, and reclaim your professional voice. * Setting Healthy Boundaries: Learn strategies for recognising red flags, protecting your wellbeing, and navigating challenging workplace dynamics. * Moving from Surviving to Thriving: Develop a personal action plan to move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and purpose. What Makes This Workshop Different? We believe that professional success should never come at the expense of your wellbeing. This workshop creates space for real conversations, meaningful connections, practical strategies, and personal reflection. You’ll have opportunities to connect with other ambitious women who understand the pressures of professional life, share experiences if you choose, and learn strategies you can apply immediately. You won’t be expected to disclose personal experiences. Participation is always your choice, and the session is designed to be supportive and respectful. Who Should Attend? This event is for women at every stage of their professional journey, particularly those who: * Have experienced toxic or challenging workplace environments. * Are recovering from burnout or a difficult professional experience. * Feel their confidence has been affected by workplace experiences. * Are navigating a career transition or returning to work. * Want to become more resilient, self-assured leaders. * Lead teams and want to create psychologically safer workplaces. Whether you’re an emerging leader, senior executive, entrepreneur, or woman navigating your next chapter, this evening is for you. Event Details Date: Wednesday, 18 November 2026 Time: 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM Location: Central London (exact venue to be announced) Hosted by: Women on the RISE Theme: Heal • Reset • Lead • Thrive Come for the Conversation. Leave with a New Perspective. Imagine walking into a room filled with ambitious, accomplished women who understand that behind every successful career is a story that isn’t always visible. Imagine leaving with renewed confidence, practical tools, meaningful connections, and a clearer vision of the leader you want to become. Your past workplace experiences may have shaped your journey, but they don’t have to determine your destination. At Women on the RISE, we believe in lifting one another, rising together, and soaring beyond the limitations placed upon us. Reserve your place and join us for an evening of reflection, connection, empowerment, and growth. Women on the RISE — Lift. Rise. Soar. Real Conversations. Practical Strategies. Lasting Change. I would position this on Meetup and LinkedIn as a premium, interactive leadership and wellbeing workshop, rather than a trauma support group. That helps attract corporate professionals, managers, senior leaders and women in career transition while keeping the subject approachable. One important distinction: unless a qualified trauma professional is facilitating, the event should be presented as an educational, supportive workshop rather than therapy or a promise of trauma healing.
