AI Interview Prep Prompts

The best interview preparation is practice with realistic questions and honest feedback. These prompts simulate real interview scenarios and help you craft compelling answers.

1. Behavioral Interview Simulator

Best: Claude
I'm interviewing for [role] at [company type]. Act as the interviewer and ask me 5 behavioral questions using the "Tell me about a time..." format. Focus on: [key competencies - e.g., leadership, conflict resolution, prioritization]. After I answer each one, evaluate my response using the STAR framework and suggest improvements.
Practice answering out loud, then paste your spoken answer. Claude gives thoughtful feedback on structure and impact.

2. STAR Story Crafter

Best: Claude
Help me turn this experience into a STAR interview answer: [describe a work situation briefly]. The question it answers: "[interview question]". Refine my Situation (brief context), Task (my specific responsibility), Action (what I did and why), and Result (quantifiable outcome). Make it compelling in under 2 minutes spoken.
Include any metrics or numbers you remember. Quantifiable results make STAR answers memorable.

3. Company Research Brief

Best: Perplexity
I'm interviewing at [company]. Research and compile: their recent news and strategic direction, key challenges they're likely facing, their culture values and how to demonstrate alignment, 5 thoughtful questions to ask the interviewer, and potential "red flags" to watch for during the interview.
Perplexity provides current information with sources. Verify key claims before the interview.

4. Salary Negotiation Script

Best: Claude
I received an offer for [role] at [company size/type]. Offered: [amount]. Market rate: [your research]. I want [target]. Write a negotiation script covering: how to express enthusiasm without accepting, how to present my counter with justification, responses to 3 common pushbacks, and a walk-away plan. Keep it professional and collaborative.
Include your competing offers or unique qualifications. Claude writes nuanced negotiation language.

5. Technical Interview Warm-Up

Best: ChatGPT
I'm preparing for a technical interview for [role] focused on [technology/domain]. Give me 5 progressively harder questions they might ask. For each: the question, what they're really testing, a framework for answering, and common mistakes to avoid. Include 1 system design question if applicable.
Specify the company size and engineering culture. Startup interviews differ from FAANG interviews.
