How to use these prompts
The value isn't reading a list of model answers, it's trying them. An answer that looks great written stumbles when you say it under pressure. The prompts below turn the AI into a recruiter who really questions you: you answer out loud or in writing, it reacts the way an examiner would. It's the difference between studying theory and doing the run-throughs.
An honest note: the AI doesn't know that specific company or who will interview you. Its questions are the typical ones for the role; the real context (the company culture, the people) you add with what you've found out. And your answers have to stay true: an interview prepped with inflated answers collapses at the first follow-up question.
The prompt library
The likely questions for this role
I'm about to interview for this position. Give me the 10 most
likely questions they'll ask me, split between: questions about my
background, technical questions about the role, behavioral questions (how
you handle X). For each, one line on what they're really trying to
understand with that question.
Job posting or description of the position:
Live interview simulation
Play the recruiter and run an interview with me for this position.
Ask me one question at a time, wait for my answer, then react as
an examiner would: if the answer is weak or vague, press me with a
follow-up question. After five questions, stop and give me honest
feedback on how I'm doing.
The position and a few lines about my profile:
Answering the uncomfortable questions
Help me prepare answers to the tough interview questions:
a gap in my CV, why I left my previous job, a weakness of mine,
why they should choose me. For each, give me an honest, non-defensive
track that turns the point in my favor without lying. No clichés like
"I'm too much of a perfectionist."
My situation:
Tell a story with method
Help me tell this experience of mine effectively for a
behavioral interview: the situation, what I had to do, what I
actually did, the result (with a figure if I have one). Keep it
under a minute, spoken, not CV-style. Tell me where my version
is vague.
The experience I want to tell:
The questions for you to ask the recruiter
At the end of the interview they'll ask if I have questions. Give me
five smart ones, that show real interest and also help me understand
whether the company is right for me. Avoid questions about salary and
holidays for this stage, and questions whose answer is already in the
posting.
The position and the company:
A real example
Sara is interviewing for an administrative assistant role after a two-year break for family, and she fears the question about the gap in her CV. She uses the likely-questions prompt first, pasting the posting: she discovers they'll mainly look for precision and deadline management, not just experience.
Then she tackles the point that scares her with the uncomfortable-questions prompt. The AI gives her an honest track about the break, presenting it as a deliberate choice and stressing that she kept her skills up to date. Sara reworks it in her own words. Finally she does the live simulation: she answers out loud, and when she says "I'm organized" the AI presses her with "give me a concrete example." Sara realizes she doesn't have one ready and prepares a real one. At the interview, the question about the gap comes and she answers calmly: she'd already said it five times. The confidence wasn't talent, it was training.
When it does NOT work (and how to fix it)
If the answers sound staged and insincere
The AI tends to give you model answers that, said as-is, sound fake. Always rework them in your own words and with your real facts: "rewrite this track the way I'd say it, with a real example from my experience." An imperfect answer of yours convinces more than a perfect one learned by heart.
If it only prepares you for the generic questions
If the questions are too standard, give it more context: paste the full posting, the field, the level of the role. And ask explicitly "include the questions specific to this field, not just the ones valid for any job." The more it knows about the role, the more the run-throughs resemble the real interview.
If you know nothing about the company
The AI doesn't know the single company, but it can help you prepare based on what you find. Look up information about the company (website, recent news) and paste it to the AI asking "based on this, what questions might I expect and what could I ask?" You bring the context, the AI turns it into targeted run-throughs.
A tip from someone who actually uses it
Always answer out loud, not in writing, at least in the simulations. The interview is oral, and an answer that flows on the keyboard can jam in your mouth: better to find out during training than in front of the recruiter. Record yourself once and listen back: you'll hear the extra "ums" and the answers that lose their way. It's uncomfortable, and that's exactly why it works.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use AI during the interview if it's online?
No, and it's a mistake that costs you. Recruiters notice the pauses and the read answers, and an interview is won with presence, not with a prompter in your ear. Use the AI beforehand, to prepare thoroughly, so during it you don't need it. Real confidence comes from training, not from hidden help that betrays you at the first surprise.
Are the answers the AI prepares fine for any interview?
The tracks yes, as a starting point, but they always have to be tailored to the role and made your own. An answer good for a creative interview clashes in a banking one. Use the AI for the structure of the answer, then adapt it to the field, the company, and your story. The model is a skeleton; the flesh is your real experience.
Doesn't preparing with AI make me less spontaneous?
It's the opposite: spontaneity comes from preparation, not from improvising. Whoever has already said their answers ten times is free to be natural, because they're not searching for words. Whoever improvises is tense and awkward. Training doesn't stiffen you, it frees your head to really listen to the questions and answer as a person, not from a script.
