Interview Prep

Generate interview prep tailored to a JD and the candidate's resume.

Setup

Follow `../_shared/setup.md`. Then `Read` the resume file at `primaryResumeSourceAbsolutePath` for the candidate's full background.

Step 1: Analyze the Role

From the argument, identify: role title + level + team, core technical requirements, domain/industry, key responsibilities, company size/stage, any interview-process hints.

Step 2: Generate Questions

Behavioral (5–7)

Focus on competencies the role requires. For each: question + suggested **STAR answer** (Situation, Task, Action, Result) using a real example from the resume + the experience to reference.

Example:

**Q: Tell me about a time you led a major migration.**

Suggested answer (STAR):
- Situation: At EmTech Care Labs, the platform was on AWS Amplify Gen 1 with slow builds.
- Task: Lead the migration to Gen 2 and unify the codebase.
- Action: Phased migration, unified TypeScript monorepo, consolidated 3 component libraries into one design system.
- Result: Cut build/deploy time 40%, created 40+ reusable components, improved velocity.

Technical (5–7)

Based on the role's stack and requirements: language/framework, architecture and patterns, technologies listed in the JD. For each: concise answer outline with talking points from the candidate's experience.

System Design (2–3)

Scenarios relevant to the company's product area. For each: outline the approach + which candidate projects demonstrate relevant experience.

Company / Domain (2–3)

Questions about the company's product, industry, competitors. Suggest research areas to explore before the interview.

Step 3: Identify Weak Spots

List requirements where the candidate's experience is thin. Suggest how to frame each gap positively (transferable skills, adjacent experience, quick-learner). Recommend areas to brush up on.

Step 4: Output

Rules

1. **Real experience only.** Every suggested answer references real projects/roles/metrics. Never fabricate. 2. **Tailor to this role.** Generic "tell me about yourself" prep is useless. 3. **Be honest about gaps.** Don't pretend they don't exist. 4. **Concise answers.** 1–2 minutes spoken, not essays. 5. **Probability-order.** Most likely questions first in each category.
