Prepare

A briefing for one specific interview, built from what you sent

1 credit Account required

What it does

Prepare produces a briefing for one specific application: the questions the role is likely to open with, the strongest material in your history for each, the weak points to have an answer ready for, and what to ask back.

It reads the job and whichever of your resumes you paired with it, so it prepares you for the document the interviewer has. Tailoring first is optional.

The Prepare page. A list of three jobs on the left, one marked Prepped, and a Prepare for a job button in the header. On the right, the finished briefing for a Senior Product Designer role at GitLab, with tabs for stories, questions, gaps and what to ask them. Two STAR stories are open, each broken into situation, task, action and result, with a note on which kinds of question to use it for.
Pair any job with any resume, then read the briefing: your stories in STAR form, the questions it invites, your gaps, and what to ask back.

When to use it

  • An interview is booked and you want to know what is coming.
  • You want to find the holes in your own application before the interviewer does.

How to use it

  1. Pick a job and a resume

    Paste a posting, choose one from the board, enter a job title, or pick nothing at all for a general round. Then choose which resume you will be answering for. This step is free.

  2. Open it

    The pairing shows up in your list, whether it came from a tailoring or from picking a resume yourself.

  3. Generate the briefing

    This is the step that spends the credit. It produces the questions, your best material for each, and the gaps.

  4. Actually read it

    The briefing is the study guide. Going straight into practice without reading it wastes the practice session.

What it costs

1 credit

One credit per briefing. Re-reading a briefing you have already generated is free. Practising against it is billed separately, one credit per session.

How credits work

Good to know

  • Predicted questions are informed guesses

    They are derived from the posting and your resume. Real interviewers go off script, and no amount of preparation makes that not happen.

  • The less it has, the more general it gets

    A full job description produces a briefing about that job. A job title alone, or no job at all, produces one about the kind of work you do. We say which you are getting before you spend the credit.

  • Practice is a separate credit

    The briefing and the mock interview are billed separately. Generating a briefing does not include a practice round.
