Here are some jobs and side hustles you can do with no interview or resume with Amazon.
MTurk
One great way to make money as a Microtasker is with Amazon Mechanical Turk.
- What is it: Amazon Mechanical Turk, or MTurk, is a crowdsourcing platform that connects businesses and individuals (known as Requesters) with a global workforce (Workers) to perform tasks that are difficult for computers but relatively easy for humans.
- How to Earn Money: Workers can browse available tasks or “Human Intelligence Tasks” (HITs) and choose the ones they want to complete. These tasks can include data entry, content moderation, image tagging, surveys, and more.
- Payment: The payment for each HIT varies widely, from a few cents to several dollars, depending on the complexity and time required. Earnings accumulate in your MTurk account and can be transferred to your Amazon Payments account or redeemed as Amazon gift cards.
ACX
If you feel like you have a good speaking voice, you can get paid to narrate books with Amazon's ACX.
According to Glassdoor, people have made as much as $49/hour with this gig!
- What is it: ACX is a platform by Amazon that connects audiobook producers (narrators and producers) with authors and publishers to create and distribute audiobooks.
- How to Earn Money: There are two primary ways to earn money on ACX:
- Royalties: Authors and publishers can choose to share royalties with narrators and producers. You earn a portion of the royalties for each sale of the audiobook.

- Payment: Payments are made through ACX, and you can choose to receive royalties via direct deposit or check.

Amazon Hourly & Shift Jobs
Amazon has a separate job section for people who want to find easy jobs with no experience required.
Here, you can find jobs where you can have a lot more flexibility to choose what shifts you work.
You can also, from what I can tell, get hired much faster and easier without a typical interview process.
Pay seems to be up to around $20/hour and they mostly involve working in fulfillment centers, warehouses, etc.
What's nice is you can get benefits and training to work your way up from these jobs as well!
