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