Interview Prep Simulator

Walk into your interview knowing what they'll ask and how you'll answer.

Interview anxiety usually comes from uncertainty — not knowing what's coming or whether your answers are good. This workflow builds a question bank specific to your role, runs mock interviews, and gives feedback on your actual answers.

The Workflow

1

Build a role-specific question bank

Generate the most likely questions for your specific interview, not a generic list.

PromptRole-Specific Interview Question Bank

Build an interview question bank for [JOB_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME]. Industry: [INDUSTRY] My background: [MY_BACKGROUND] The company's known focus areas: [COMPANY_FOCUS] Interview format: [INTERVIEW_FORMAT] (e.g., panel / one-on-one / case-based / technical) Generate: 1. Eight behavioral questions likely for this role (include 2 that are uncomfortable but common) 2. Five situational questions ("What would you do if...") 3. Four role-specific technical or functional questions 4. Three company/culture fit questions based on what you know about [COMPANY_NAME] 5. Two questions about my career trajectory they'll almost certainly ask For each behavioral question, note: what quality they're actually testing for.

Replace: [JOB_TITLE], [COMPANY_NAME], [INDUSTRY], [MY_BACKGROUND], [COMPANY_FOCUS], [INTERVIEW_FORMAT]

2

Run a mock interview

Give AI your answers and get specific, honest feedback.

PromptMock Interview

Conduct a mock interview for [JOB_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME]. Ask me one question at a time from the question bank we built. After each answer I give: 1. Rate my answer: strong / adequate / weak — and tell me specifically why 2. Identify what I did well in the answer 3. Point out what I left out that a strong answer would include 4. Give me one sentence that would strengthen the opening or closing After 5 questions, give me a summary of: - My strongest and weakest answer - A pattern in my responses (what I keep doing well or poorly) - The one thing I should work on most before the real interview Start with a warm-up question.

Replace: [JOB_TITLE], [COMPANY_NAME]

Prepare your own questions to ask

The questions you ask reveal as much as the answers you give.

A complete role-specific question bank, mock interview feedback on your actual answers, and 10 smart questions to ask — with advice on which to use at which stage of the process.

Pro tips

  • The behavioral question you're most uncomfortable with is the one to practice most. It's usually the one they'll ask.
