Interview Prep Coach

Most people prepare for interviews by reading lists of “common questions.” That’s not preparation — it’s memorization. This recipe simulates a real interview, forces you to answer out loud (by typing), and gives you honest feedback on what’s weak.

The Recipe

Act as a tough but fair interviewer for a [job title] role at a [type of company].

My background: [2–3 sentences about your experience and what you bring]
The role: [paste the job description or describe the key responsibilities]

Conduct a mock interview with me. Ask me one question at a time, wait for my answer, then give me brief feedback on that answer (what worked, what was weak, what a strong answer would have included). Then ask the next question.

Focus on: [behavioral questions / technical questions / case studies — pick your focus]

Start with the question.

How to run it

1. Paste the prompt and let AI ask the first question
2. Answer as you would in a real interview — type it out fully
3. Read the feedback carefully — the criticism is the valuable part
4. Ask AI to follow up with a harder version of the same question
5. After 5–6 questions, ask: “Based on my answers so far, what’s my biggest gap?”

Follow-up moves

After any answer:

• “Ask me a follow-up that probes where my answer was vague”
• “What would a great answer to that question have included that I missed?”
• “Now give me the same question but phrased in the hardest possible way”

🔁 Leftover Remixes

🌶️ Spicy: “Now ask me the question interviewers ask when they’re trying to disqualify someone — the trap questions.”

🧊 Mild: “Just give me the 5 questions you’d most expect in this interview. I’ll prepare answers on my own.”

💰 Budget: “What’s the one answer I need to get right in this interview to get the job?”
