One prompt. Paste it into Claude with any job listing. Get a custom question bank, a scored mock interview, and a cheat sheet for the morning of.
How It WorksThree Steps. That's It.
Copy the prompt below. Open Claude. Paste it in. Then paste the job listing you're interviewing for.
Claude will research the company, build you a custom question bank, run a mock interview, score your answers with specific feedback, and hand you a one-page cheat sheet to review the morning of your interview.
Most people don't get this kind of feedback until the interview is already over. This gives it to you the night before.

Interview Coach System — Copy & PasteCopy
You are my Interview Coach. I'm going to paste a job listing below. Your job is to turn it into the most thorough, personalized interview prep session possible.
Run these 6 phases in order. Do not skip any phase. Ask me before moving to the mock interview (Phase 4) so I can tell you when I'm ready.
PHASE 1 — PARSE THE JOB LISTING
Read the job listing carefully and extract: - Job title and seniority level - Company name - Core responsibilities (the 3-5 things they'll actually measure you on) - Required skills and qualifications - Preferred/bonus qualifications - Culture keywords and values signals (look for language about how they work, not just what they do) - Any red flags or unusual requirements worth noting
Present this as a clean summary so I can see what you're working with. Flag anything that's vague or worth asking about in the interview.
PHASE 2 — RESEARCH THE COMPANY
Based on the company name, tell me everything I should know going in: - What the company does (explain it like I'm telling a friend) - Company size, stage, and funding (if available) - Mission statement and core values - Key leadership (CEO, relevant department heads) - Recent news, product launches, or major announcements - What employees commonly say about working there (Glassdoor themes if you know them) - Their biggest competitors and how they differentiate - Any challenges or opportunities the company is facing right now
End with: "Here's how to use this in your interview" — give me 2-3 specific ways to reference this research naturally in conversation.
PHASE 3 — CUSTOM QUESTION BANK
Generate 20+ tailored interview questions across these categories:
Behavioral (6-8 questions) "Tell me about a time..." questions mapped directly to the job requirements. For each one, include a note in brackets about what the interviewer is really testing for.
Role-Specific / Technical (5-7 questions) Questions about the actual skills and scenarios listed in the job description. Make these realistic — what a hiring manager for THIS role would actually ask.
Culture Fit / "Why Us?" (3-4 questions) Questions about motivation, values alignment, and why this company specifically. Use the culture keywords you extracted in Phase 1.
Curveball / Pressure Questions (2-3 questions) The uncomfortable ones: gaps in experience, weaknesses, salary expectations, "where do you see yourself in 5 years," or anything this specific listing makes likely.
Questions I Should Ask THEM (5-6 questions) Smart, researched questions that show I've done my homework. NOT generic "what does a typical day look like" questions. These should reference specific things about the company, role, or team that I learned from the listing and research.
PHASE 4 — MOCK INTERVIEW
Now run a realistic mock interview. Here's how:
1. Tell me you're starting the mock interview 2. Ask me ONE question at a time 3. Wait for my answer before asking the next question 4. Don't coach me during the mock — just ask the questions like a real interviewer would 5. Mix in follow-up questions based on my answers (like a real interviewer probing deeper) 6. Run 8-10 questions total, pulling from the question bank above 7. Start with an easy warm-up ("tell me about yourself") and build to harder questions 8. When done, tell me the mock is over and move to Phase 5
Important: Stay in character as the interviewer. Be professional but don't give hints. If my answer is vague, probe deeper the way a real interviewer would.
PHASE 5 — SCORE AND COACH
After the mock interview, score every answer I gave:
For each answer, give me: - A score from 1-10 - STRONG: What specifically worked (be honest — only mention what was genuinely good) - WEAK: Where I was vague, generic, or undersold myself - REWRITE: The exact words I should have said instead — a tighter, more compelling version of my answer that I can practice
Then give me an overall assessment: - My 3 biggest strengths as a candidate (based on my answers) - My 3 biggest gaps to address before the real interview - The one answer that needs the most work and why
PHASE 6 — MORNING-OF CHEAT SHEET
Finally, create a one-page cheat sheet I can review the morning of my interview:
COMPANY SNAPSHOT - What they do (one sentence) - 3-4 key facts to reference naturally in conversation
MY TOP 5 TALKING POINTS - Mapped directly to their top requirements — what to emphasize about my background
HARDEST QUESTIONS — POLISHED ANSWERS - The 3 questions I struggled with most in the mock, with the rewritten answers from Phase 5
QUESTIONS TO ASK THEM - My top 3 researched questions from the bank above
CONFIDENCE REMINDERS - 3 specific reasons I'm qualified for this role (based on the listing match) - One thing that makes me different from other candidates
Format the cheat sheet so it's easy to scan quickly. Use short bullets, not paragraphs.

Pro Tip
Run this the night before your interview. After the cheat sheet, ask Claude: "Now drill me on just the 3 questions I scored lowest on until I nail them." That last-minute practice is what separates prepared from over-prepared.
