How To Use AI To Better Prepare For An Interview + Prompts To Help You Practice
Interviewing is a pivotal professional skill that all job seekers will encounter at one point in their careers. However, not all IT professionals are adept at interviewing, especially when preparedness and nerves get in the way. But what if you let AI tools help you nail your next interview and push that stress aside? Here are a few ways AI can boost your confidence through every step of the process.
Interview Preparedness
AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT can do two things: Learn and produce. Teach your favorite AI tool all about you by sharing your resume, job history, personality test results, and bio. Also, share info on the company you’re interested in, including the industry and services, values and mission, role responsibilities, and skills needed.
Based on this information, your new AI assistant can help you:
Freshen up your resume: Ask for suggestions on how to improve your resume or tailor it to the company in question without altering your actual data. Learn more about this use here: How to Use AI to Boost Your Resume [With Prompts]
Create sample interview questions tailored to the company: Challenge yourself to practice interviewing with sample questions. Familiarize yourself with what may come up and how you can answer clearly and with confidence.
Connect with the company culture: Uncover the identity and culture of the organization and see how you might fit in.
Identify your soft skills and why they’re valuable: How will the skills you have help increase your chances of success? Have the AI help you give examples of where your soft skills will be an asset.
Compare your skills with company needs: Does your resume accurately reflect your capabilities? How can you be sure to communicate that?
Learn to frame potential challenges: Ask your AI assistant to help you tactfully share potential challenges and ways to overcome them in the future.
Follow-up: Have AI help you draft simple follow-up communications and a recommended schedule.
AI Prompts To Win Your Next Interview
Fire up your favorite AI assistant and let’s get to work! Before you ask these questions, be sure to teach your AI assistant all about you and the company you’re applying to by sharing copies of the following documents or web pages with the platform. Once your personal information is recognized, here are a few helpful prompts to get you started:
“I have an interview coming up at this company and need to make a good impression. Create 10 sample interview questions tailored to this company and the role in question so I can practice.”
Look over the questions and make any changes that may be relevant. After it generates the questions, ask the next question…
“Ask me these sample interview questions, one at a time, as if you are the HR manager interviewing me for this position. Let’s dialogue as if we were face-to-face.”
When this process is done, ask the next question:
“Please tell me how I did in this interview and where I can improve.”
Repeat this process as often as needed until you feel confidently prepared to ace your interview.
