Prepare Answers to the Top 10 Interview Questions
You are an interview coach with 15 years of experience. I am interviewing for [JOB_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME]. Here is my background: [MY_BACKGROUND]. Write strong, personalised answers to these 10 classic interview questions: Tell me about yourself, Why do you want this role, What are your greatest strengths, What is your biggest weakness, Tell me about a challenge you overcame, Where do you see yourself in 5 years, Why are you leaving your current role, What makes you the best candidate, Describe your leadership style, and Do you have any questions for us?
Answer the 'Tell Me About Yourself' Question Perfectly
Act as an interview coach. 'Tell me about yourself' is the most important interview question and most candidates answer it poorly. I am interviewing for [TARGET_ROLE] and my background is: [MY_BACKGROUND]. Write a 90-second answer using the Past-Present-Future framework: a 2-sentence career origin story, a 3-sentence summary of current relevant experience and achievements, and a 2-sentence bridge to why this specific role excites me. Make it conversational, confident, and specifically tailored to [COMPANY_NAME].
Prepare for a Case Study or Technical Interview
Act as an interview preparation coach specialising in case interviews. I have a [INTERVIEW_TYPE] interview coming up for [JOB_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME]. Here is what I know about the format: [INTERVIEW_FORMAT]. Walk me through the most common question types for this type of interview, the framework I should use to structure my thinking, a worked example of how to approach a typical question, and 3 practice questions I should prepare for. Also tell me the top 3 mistakes candidates make in this type of interview.
Research an Interviewer Before a Meeting
You are a pre-interview research specialist. I have an interview with [INTERVIEWER_NAME] who is [INTERVIEWER_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME]. Here is what I can find about them publicly: [PUBLIC_PROFILE_INFO]. Help me build a pre-interview brief: their likely priorities and concerns based on their role, any shared professional interests or common ground I could reference, 2 specific questions I can ask them that show I know their work, and how to adapt my answers knowing who will be interviewing me.
Ask Impressive Questions at the End of an Interview
Act as an interview strategy coach. I am interviewing for [JOB_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME]. The interviewer will ask 'Do you have any questions for us?' Most candidates ask generic or compensation-focused questions at this stage. Generate 8 exceptional questions I could ask — ones that demonstrate strategic thinking, genuine curiosity, and a high level of preparation. Categorise them by theme: Role & Team (3), Company Strategy (2), Culture & Leadership (2), and Success Metrics (1). Flag which 3 are highest impact.
Simulate a Full Mock Interview and Get Feedback
You are a tough but fair interview simulator. I want to do a mock interview for [JOB_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME]. Here is the job description: [JD_TEXT]. Ask me 8 interview questions — a mix of behavioural, motivational, and role-specific questions. After I give each answer, score it 1–5 and give specific feedback on: what was strong, what was vague or weak, and exactly what I should add or change. Start with the first question now.
Prepare for a Panel Interview
You are a panel interview specialist. I have an upcoming panel interview for [JOB_TITLE] with [PANEL_COMPOSITION] (e.g. HR, hiring manager, technical lead, senior stakeholder). Here is what I know about the role: [ROLE_DETAILS]. Design a preparation strategy covering: how to manage multiple interviewers in the same room, which panellist to address for which type of question, how to make eye contact effectively across a group, the one preparation action I should take for each panellist, and how to close a panel interview memorably.
Prepare for a Second or Final Round Interview
Act as an executive interview coach. I have been invited to a second or final round interview for [JOB_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME]. In the first round I covered [FIRST_ROUND_TOPICS] and the feedback was [FIRST_ROUND_FEEDBACK]. Advise me on: how a final round typically differs from a first round, what they are likely assessing at this stage, how to build on my first round performance without being repetitive, and 3 things I must do differently to convert this into an offer. Include a pre-interview ritual for the morning of the final round.
Send a Post-Interview Thank You Email That Stands Out
You are a professional communications coach. I just finished an interview for [JOB_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME] with [INTERVIEWER_NAME]. The interview covered [KEY_TOPICS] and the moment I felt most connected was [STANDOUT_MOMENT]. Write a thank you email (under 150 words) that: is sent within 2 hours, references something specific from our conversation (not generic), reaffirms my enthusiasm for one specific aspect of the role, and subtly reinforces my strongest qualification. Make it warm and memorable — not a template.
Prepare a 30-60-90 Day Plan to Impress in an Interview
You are a job search strategy coach. I am interviewing for [JOB_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME] and want to bring a 30-60-90 day plan to demonstrate initiative and strategic thinking. Here is what I know about the role and company: [ROLE_AND_COMPANY_CONTEXT].

Answer 'Why Do You Want to Work Here?' Specifically
You are an interview preparation coach. I am interviewing at [COMPANY_NAME] for [JOB_TITLE] and need to answer 'Why do you want to work here?' in a way that is specific, genuine, and impressive. Here is what I genuinely find compelling about this company: [GENUINE_REASONS]. Here is my research on the company: [COMPANY_RESEARCH]. Write a 60-second answer that: goes beyond the obvious (great company, great products), connects their specific mission or direction to my own career motivations, and includes one company detail that shows I have done real research.
Prepare for a Video or Remote Interview
You are a virtual interview specialist. I have an important video interview for [JOB_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME] on [PLATFORM] in [DAYS_AWAY] days. Give me a complete video interview preparation checklist covering: technical setup and testing, background and lighting, eye contact and camera awareness, pacing and energy on video, what to do if there is a technical glitch mid-interview, and the 3 specific differences between a video interview and in-person that most candidates underestimate. Also write an emergency script if audio cuts out.
Prepare for a Strengths-Based Interview
Act as a strengths-based interview coach. I have an interview at [COMPANY_NAME] that uses a strengths-based format rather than competency-based. In this format they ask questions like 'What energises you?' or 'When do you feel most like yourself at work?' Here is my genuine profile: [STRENGTHS_PROFILE]. Prepare me for the top 8 strengths-based questions I am likely to be asked, explain the difference in how to answer them vs STAR-based questions, and write a sample answer for each that is honest and enthusiastic.
Prepare for a Culture Fit Interview
Act as a culture fit interview coach. I am in the final stages of interviewing at [COMPANY_NAME] and the next round is specifically focused on culture fit. Here is what I know about their culture: [COMPANY_CULTURE]. Here is my natural working style and values: [MY_STYLE_AND_VALUES]. Help me: understand what 'culture fit' questions are really assessing, prepare authentic answers that show genuine alignment (not just what they want to hear), identify any areas where my style differs and how to address them honestly, and ask culture questions that help me evaluate if this company is right for me.
Prepare for a Psychometric or Personality Test
You are an occupational psychology coach. I have been asked to complete a [PSYCHOMETRIC_TEST_TYPE] test (e.g. MBTI, DISC, Hogan, SHL, Watson-Glaser) as part of the hiring process for [JOB_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME]. Explain: what this test is actually measuring, whether I should answer strategically or authentically, how the company is likely to use the results, what scores or profiles are typically favoured for this role type, and how to prepare so I perform at my natural best rather than second-guessing myself.
Write a Post-Interview Debrief for Continuous Improvement
Act as an interview performance coach. I just completed an interview for [JOB_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME]. I want to debrief it systematically to improve for next time. Here is how it went: [INTERVIEW_SUMMARY]. Help me complete a structured post-interview debrief covering: questions I answered well and why, questions I stumbled on and a better answer, things I noticed about the interviewer's reactions, what I would change if I could do it again, and one concrete preparation action before my next interview.
Prepare for an Interview in an Unfamiliar Industry
You are an industry intelligence coach. I am interviewing for a role in [TARGET_INDUSTRY] but my background is in [MY_INDUSTRY]. I need to get up to speed quickly so I can hold a credible conversation. Give me a rapid 48-hour industry briefing covering: the top 3 business models in this industry, the current biggest challenges and trends, the key terminology and jargon I should know, 3 companies I should know by name and what they are known for, and the one question I am most likely to be asked about industry knowledge and how to answer it despite my outsider status.
