Prompt Template

I have an upcoming interview and need help preparing strong answers that showcase my experience and fit for the role.

The interview question I need to answer is: [INTERVIEW_QUESTION]

This is a [QUESTION_TYPE:select:behavioral question - tell me about a time when,technical or skill-based question,general question like tell me about yourself,situational or hypothetical question,question about weaknesses or challenges,salary or compensation question,question about why I want this job or am leaving my current one].

The role I am interviewing for is [ROLE] at a company in the [INDUSTRY] industry.

Relevant experience or stories I can draw from: [RELEVANT_EXPERIENCE]

Key strengths or qualities I want to highlight: [STRENGTHS?]

Help me craft a strong answer to this question. If it is a behavioral question, structure it using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Make sure my answer is specific and uses concrete examples rather than generic statements. Keep it concise enough to deliver in 1-2 minutes. Suggest a strong opening line that hooks the interviewer. Point out any common mistakes to avoid with this type of question. Give me a version I can practice and then adapt in my own words.

About Interview Answer Coach

You know the interview question is coming. "Tell me about a time when..." Your mind goes blank. You have great examples buried in your work history, but pulling them out on the spot, structured and concise, under pressure? That is where most people stumble.

The Interview Answer Coach helps you build strong answers before you walk into the room. Give it the [INTERVIEW_QUESTION], the [ROLE] you are applying for, and your [RELEVANT_EXPERIENCE], and you get back a structured response using the STAR method: Situation, Task, Action, Result.

The output is not a script to memorize. It is a framework you practice and adapt in your own words. Each answer includes a strong opening hook, concrete examples instead of generic claims, and notes on common mistakes to avoid for that question type.

Preparing for salary discussions too? The Salary Negotiation Coach pairs naturally with interview prep, since compensation questions often come up in later rounds. A strong professional summary also helps you articulate your value consistently across the interview process.

Practice your answers in the Dock Editor where you can refine the wording until each response feels natural and confident.

How to Use Interview Answer Coach

1

Enter the question

Paste the exact interview question into [INTERVIEW_QUESTION]. If you are preparing for a general interview, start with "Tell me about yourself" or common behavioral questions for your industry. Select the [QUESTION_TYPE] so the AI uses the right answer framework.

2

Set the context

Replace [ROLE] with the job title and [INDUSTRY] with the company's sector. An engineering manager answer sounds different from a marketing director answer for the same behavioral question. Context shapes which achievements to highlight.

3

Provide your raw material

In [RELEVANT_EXPERIENCE], describe situations from your past roles that relate to the question. Bullet points work fine. Include numbers if you have them. The AI turns raw experience into a structured narrative.

4

Highlight your strengths

Fill in [STRENGTHS] with 2-3 qualities you want to come through in your answer. If the role values leadership and data-driven decisions, say so. The AI weaves these themes into your response without making them sound forced.

5

Practice out loud

Read the answer once, then try delivering it without looking. Time yourself. A good answer runs 60 to 90 seconds. If it feels too long, cut the Situation section. The Result section should always be the strongest part.
