In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for Resumes, Cover Letters & Job Search
Improve an Interview Answer You've Already Drafted
Prompt
The interview question: {{QUESTION}}
My drafted answer (written as I'd say it): {{MY_ANSWER}}
The role I'm interviewing for: {{TARGET_ROLE}}
Assess:
1. Does it actually answer the question asked? Quote anything that drifts.
2. Structure: is there a clear situation, my actions and a result? Is too much time spent on the background?
3. Ownership: count the times I say "we" where the interviewer needs to know what I did.
4. Evidence: is the result specific? If it's vague, ask me what really happened. Don't invent an outcome.
5. Length: estimate the spoken time. Aim for about 1.5 to 2 minutes for behavioral questions.
6. Risky lines: anything that could sound negative about a past employer, arrogant, or raise a new concern.
Then:
- Rewrite the answer using only facts in my draft, keeping my voice.
- Give a 30-second version for a follow-up or a quick-fire round.
- Suggest one follow-up question an interviewer might ask next, and how I should handle it.
