Interview Preparation

Generate targeted interview questions and strategic answer frameworks based on specific job requirements and company culture insights.

What is Interview Preparation?

Interview Preparation uses job analysis insights to create comprehensive question sets and answer strategies tailored to each specific role. Instead of generic interview prep, you get questions and frameworks that directly address what this employer cares about most.

How It Works

  1. Reviews your LinkedIn profile, (customized) resume and the job posting
  2. Generates targeted questions based on specific insights and requirements
  3. Creates answer frameworks providing structure for compelling responses
  4. Builds practice scenarios offering realistic interview simulations
  5. Prepares follow-up questions to ask the interviewer

⚠️ IMPORTANT

Interview prep docs are based on your master resume template or your current customized resume. Make sure you are happy with either version of your resume BEFORE creating the interview prep doc. Customize your resume if needed.
