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.
Handle a Curveball or Trick Interview Question
Act as an interview coach who has seen every type of unusual question. I just encountered this unexpected or tricky interview question: [TRICKY_QUESTION]. Help me: understand what the interviewer is actually trying to assess, develop a structured approach to answer it that shows calm, clear thinking under pressure, write a sample 60-second answer I can adapt, and identify 3 other curveball questions I should prepare for given that I am applying for [TARGET_ROLE].
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.
Explain a Gap in Employment Confidently
Act as an interview confidence coach. I have a gap in my employment history from [START_DATE] to [END_DATE] because of [REAL_REASON]. I am nervous about being asked about it in interviews. Help me: frame this gap honestly but positively, write a 45-second spoken answer I can deliver without sounding defensive, prepare for the follow-up question an interviewer is most likely to ask, and identify any genuine skills or perspective I gained during this period that I can mention.
Prepare for Competency-Based Interview Questions
You are a competency interview specialist. I am interviewing for [JOB_TITLE] which requires these competencies: [COMPETENCY_LIST]. For each competency, write a strong behavioural question I am likely to be asked, then help me draft a STAR answer using examples from my background: [MY_BACKGROUND]. Flag which competencies I have the weakest evidence for and suggest how to bridge that gap with a partial story or a learning-focused answer.
Negotiate a Job Offer Confidently
Act as a salary negotiation coach. I have received a job offer for [JOB_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME] with a base salary of [OFFERED_SALARY]. My research suggests the market rate is [MARKET_RATE] and my current or most recent salary is [CURRENT_SALARY]. I want to negotiate to [TARGET_SALARY]. Write a word-for-word script for the negotiation conversation: how to open, how to make the counter-offer confidently, how to handle pushback, and how to negotiate non-salary elements (bonus, equity, remote work, start date) if they cannot move on base.
Compare Two Job Offers Side by Side
You are a career decision consultant. I have received two job offers and need help deciding. Offer A: [OFFER_A_DETAILS]. Offer B: [OFFER_B_DETAILS]. My career goals are [CAREER_GOALS] and my personal priorities are [PERSONAL_PRIORITIES]. Compare both offers across: total compensation, career growth potential, culture and values alignment, work-life balance, learning opportunities, and job security. Present as a scored comparison table and give a final recommendation with a clear, honest rationale.
Ask for More Time to Consider a Job Offer
Act as a professional communications coach. I have received a job offer from [COMPANY_NAME] but I need [NUMBER_OF_DAYS] more days to consider it — because [REASON]. I do not want to seem uninterested or lose the offer by asking for too much time. Write an email to the hiring manager that: warmly acknowledges the offer, clearly states my request for an extension with a specific date, gives a professional reason without oversharing, and reaffirms my genuine interest in the role.
