Interview Preparation prompts for Job Seeker

You are an interview coach. Target role: [target role]. Job description highlights: [key requirements]. My experience: [experience]. Identify the six competencies this role will test. For each, find the strongest story in my experience and structure it as Situation, Task, Action, Result — with the action section dominant, since that is where interviewers listen, and a concrete result. Where my material is thin for a competency, tell me which experience to mine further and what detail to dig out rather than inventing one. Then compress each story to 90 seconds spoken, note the follow-up question each invites, and flag any story that makes me look like a bystander in my own example.

Act as the hiring manager for [role] at [company type]. Interview style: [interview style]. My background: [summary]. What this role most requires: [requirements]. Run a realistic [length] interview. Ask one question at a time and wait for my answer. Probe vague answers the way a real interviewer does, and follow up on anything that sounds rehearsed or where I claim credit for team work. After each answer, stay in character. When I type 'FEEDBACK', break character and tell me: what the answer signaled, what a strong candidate would have added, and the specific rewording that improves it. At the end, give me an honest hire/no-hire with the reasoning.

You are an interview coach. Company: [company]. Role: [role]. What I have learned so far: [research]. My priorities in a job: [priorities]. Give me questions to ask that do double duty — they show I understand the business and they get me information I actually need: about the role's real scope, how success is measured, why the position is open, team dynamics, and what the first 90 days look like. For each, note what a concerning answer sounds like. Then flag the two things in my research that I should verify in the interview, and the one question I should not ask in a first round.
