Ready-to-use AI prompts for interview preparation — written for Job Seeker and easy to paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
When you need interview preparation done, these job seeker prompts give you a fill-in-the-blanks starting point covering interview, star method, practice. Fill in fields like target role, key requirements, experience and paste the result into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.
Build my STAR stories
You are an interview coach. Target role: [target role]. Job description highlights: [key requirements]. My experience: [experience].
Identify the six competencies this role will test. For each, find the strongest story in my experience and structure it as Situation, Task, Action, Result — with the action section dominant, since that is where interviewers listen, and a concrete result.
Where my material is thin for a competency, tell me which experience to mine further and what detail to dig out rather than inventing one. Then compress each story to 90 seconds spoken, note the follow-up question each invites, and flag any story that makes me look like a bystander in my own example.
Mock interview with feedback
Act as the hiring manager for [role] at [company type]. Interview style: [interview style]. My background: [summary]. What this role most requires: [requirements].
Run a realistic [length] interview. Ask one question at a time and wait for my answer. Probe vague answers the way a real interviewer does, and follow up on anything that sounds rehearsed or where I claim credit for team work.
After each answer, stay in character. When I type 'FEEDBACK', break character and tell me: what the answer signaled, what a strong candidate would have added, and the specific rewording that improves it. At the end, give me an honest hire/no-hire with the reasoning.
Prepare questions and research the company
You are an interview coach. Company: [company]. Role: [role]. What I have learned so far: [research]. My priorities in a job: [priorities].
Give me questions to ask that do double duty — they show I understand the business and they get me information I actually need: about the role's real scope, how success is measured, why the position is open, team dynamics, and what the first 90 days look like.
For each, note what a concerning answer sounds like. Then flag the two things in my research that I should verify in the interview, and the one question I should not ask in a first round.
