Quick Tip: How To Use AI To Prepare For An Interview

Preparing for an interview doesn’t have to be daunting and stressful. With the right strategy and tools, you can walk into any interview feeling confident and ready.

The absolute best way to prepare for a job interview is to role-play a mock interview with a trusted friend or partner. However, not everyone has someone they can do that with. If that's you, don't worry all hope is not lost. Here's what you do...

Step 1: Copy the Job Description

Begin by finding the job posting for the position you’re applying for. Use your mouse to highlight all of the information on the job posting and copy everything, including the company name, job title, hours, compensation, duties, responsibilities & required qualifications.

Step 2: Go to ChatGPT

Step 3: Paste The Prompt Below

Copy and paste the following prompt (in blue) into ChatGPT, and add the job description you've previously copied underneath the blue text.

I'm interviewing for a (ROLE/TITLE) position at (COMPANY NAME). Ask me 20 questions, one by one, that will likely be asked during the interview based on the type of role, industry, company, and job description provided below. Do not ask me the next question until I have answered the previous one. At the end of the 20 questions, provide me with detailed feedback on the strengths & weaknesses of my individual answers.

Step 4: Answer the Questions and Learn From the Feedback

Do your best to answer every question that ChatGPT asks, one at a time. Be honest and thorough with your answers, treating this like a real interview. Once you’ve completed all 20 questions, review the detailed feedback ChatGPT provides. It will help you identify your strengths and areas for improvement.

Why This Works

• Tailored Questions: The AI generates questions specifically for the role, company, and industry, giving you realistic practice.

  
  

• Self-Reflection: You can spot gaps in your knowledge or experience and refine your responses.

  
  

• Iterative Improvement: Use the feedback to adjust your answers and try again for even stronger responses.

  
  

• Confidence Boost: Rehearsing with this method ensures you're prepared for almost anything the interviewer might ask.

  
  

Pro Tip: Do this multiple times for different job postings to build a versatile understanding of how to handle a variety of interview scenarios.

This approach is simple, effective, and the closest thing to having a personal interview coach. Try it for your next interview—you might just surprise yourself!
