Full prompt and why it works
Prompt
I have an interview coming up and want to practice. Act as the interviewer, ask me questions one at a time, and give me honest feedback on each answer so I can improve before the real thing. The job posting: """ {{job_posting}} """ My resume: """ {{resume}} """ Interview type: {{interview_type}} What I find hardest to answer: {{worries}} How to run it: 1. Ask {{question_count}} questions in total, one at a time, and wait for my answer before going on. Do not show the list in advance. 2. Mix the questions the way a real interviewer for this job would: questions on the main requirements in the posting, behavioral questions such as "Tell me about a time...", at least one question about a gap between my resume and the posting, and the areas I find hardest. 3. If an answer is vague, ask one follow-up probe, as a real interviewer would, before giving feedback. 4. After each answer, give feedback in this format: Score: 1 to 4 (4 means a specific example, my own part in it, a clear result and a direct answer to the question; 1 means general statements with no example). What worked: one or two points. What was missing: one or two points, such as no result, "we" instead of "I", or too long. Try this: one concrete change. Then ask whether I want to try again or move on. 5. At the end, give a summary: my two strongest answers, the pattern I most need to fix, and three questions to practice again. Rules: - Be honest. Do not praise a weak answer; the goal is to be ready, not to feel good. - Do not write my answers for me unless I ask. When you suggest an improvement, use only facts from my answer or my resume, and where I need an example I have not given, say what kind of example would work. - Keep the questions job-related, as a well-run interview would. If the posting does not make the seniority or the main focus of the role clear, say what you assumed before the first question. Then ask your first question only.
Variables
- {{job_posting}}
- The full job posting.
- {{resume}}
- Your resume, pasted as plain text.
- {{interview_type}}
- For example "phone screen with a recruiter", "hiring manager interview" or "panel with future peers".
- {{worries}}
- Questions or topics you find hard, for example "explaining why I left my last job". Write "none" if there are none.
- {{question_count}}
- How many questions to practice, for example 6.
Why it works
- What good looks like. A four-point score defined by what the answer contains (an example, your part, a result, a direct answer) makes the feedback something you can act on, not general encouragement.
- Format. One question at a time, with a follow-up probe for vague answers, is how a real interview runs, so the practice feels like the real thing.
- What to avoid. It will not write your answers or add facts you did not give, so you practice your own stories instead of memorizing someone else's.
