Interview Prep Prompts

Interview success comes from preparation. These prompts help you anticipate questions, craft compelling answers, and walk in confident.

1. STAR Story Development

Best: Claude
Help me develop a STAR story for the behavioral question: "[question]". My experience: [describe situation briefly]. Walk me through structuring it: Situation (context), Task (your responsibility), Action (what YOU did), Result (measurable outcome).

2. Common Questions Prep

Best: Claude
Generate likely interview questions for [role] at [company/industry]. Include: behavioral questions, technical/role-specific questions, culture fit questions, and questions about my background based on my resume: [paste resume highlights].
Prepare for 20 questions. You'll face variations of the same themes.

3. Weakness Question

Best: Claude
Help me answer "What's your biggest weakness?" authentically but strategically. My real weakness: [describe]. Reframe it as: a genuine area of growth, steps I'm taking to improve, and why it won't impact this role.
Pick a real weakness that's not critical to the role. Show self-awareness and growth.

4. Questions to Ask

Best: Perplexity

5. Company Research Brief

6. Mock Interview

Best: Claude
Conduct a mock interview for [role]. Ask me questions one at a time, wait for my response, then give feedback on: content (did I answer well?), delivery suggestions, and what I could add. Be a tough but fair interviewer.
Practice out loud. Your first answer shouldn't be in the actual interview.
