Ann Hiatt worked as Jeff Bezos's executive assistant and as chief of staff at Google for Eric Schmidt. Hiatt tells readers to find managers who they admire and who have an aspirational career path. That's the advice of Ann Hiatt, who worked as an executive assistant to Jeff Bezos and Marissa Mayer, and as chief of staff to Eric Schmidt. Amazon founder Bezos hired Hiatt in 2002 and they worked together until 2005, when she left to study for a PhD. Hiatt wrote in her book: "My next career steps have always been inspired by asking myself the key question of 'What do I want to learn in the next phase of my career?'"
People always want to know how I got Jeff Bezos to take a chance and hire me to work directly for him at Amazon in 2002 . One interview took place in a dark office with just the glow of a code-filled monitor and a weird multicolored rotating nightlight in the corner. Bezos started the interview by promising that he was only going to ask two questions and that the first one would be a "fun" brainteaser. Knowing Bezos as well as I do now, I see why those were his only two questions. By the end of the interview, we both knew I would do anything to be successful, despite being a very junior candidate.
