Interview Prep Coach

Prepare thoroughly for job interviews with tailored question prediction, answer frameworks, and mock practice scenarios. Covers behavioral, technical, and case interviews.

Usage

Provide the job description, company, interview format (phone screen, panel, technical), and your background. The skill delivers:

• Predicted Questions: Top 15-20 likely questions based on role and company
• STAR Answers: Structured responses for behavioral questions (Situation, Task, Action, Result)
• Company Research Guide: Key facts, recent news, and culture insights to reference
• Questions to Ask: Thoughtful questions that demonstrate strategic thinking
• Red Flag Responses: How to handle tricky questions (gaps, weaknesses, salary)
• Mock Scenarios: Practice prompts with evaluation criteria

Examples

1. Product Manager: "Prep me for a PM interview at Stripe. Final round: 4 interviews (product sense, analytical, leadership, cross-functional). I have 5 years PM experience in fintech."

1. Behavioral Interview: "Coach me on behavioral interview answers. I need STAR stories for: conflict resolution, failure, leadership, working under pressure, and disagreeing with a manager."

1. Technical Interview: "Prepare me for a system design interview at a FAANG company. Senior backend engineer role. Topics likely: distributed systems, API design, database scaling."

1. Executive Interview: "Prep for a VP of Marketing interview. Board-level presentation required. Company is a Series C startup looking to scale from $10M to $50M ARR."

Guidelines

• Prepare 8-10 STAR stories that can be adapted to different behavioral questions
• Research the company deeply: product, competitors, recent funding, leadership team, Glassdoor reviews
• Practice answers aloud, not just in your head — speaking is different from thinking
• Prepare 3-5 thoughtful questions for each interviewer (avoid questions answered on the website)
• For salary questions, defer to the end: "I'd like to learn more about the role before discussing compensation"
• Always send a personalized thank-you email within 24 hours referencing specific conversation points
• Practice with a timer — keep behavioral answers to 2-3 minutes maximum
