Hello there 😎 

If you’re in interview season, here’s a fun one for this week:

📊 How to use AI & data to crack your next interview

A problem I see clients and friends run into: they’re haphazard in their interview prep. They rely on anecdotes and a handful of interviews they’ve completed to prep for the next dozen of interviews in their career.

But there’s a better way.

Instead of randomly practicing interview questions, use AI to create a prioritized study system:

💽 Step 1. Give Claude an interview database

Feed Claude 50 real interview questions from your target company and related companies. (Need help setting this up? Here's how to set up your AI interview coach.) You can pull these yourself at places like:

🔬Step 2. Analyze the questions with AI

✍️Then use this prompt to analyze them:

Here are [X] interview questions reported for [Role] at [Company] and similar companies. Analyze them and tell me:

  1. Which question types appear most frequently?

  2. Which specific questions or themes repeat across multiple sources?

  3. Rank the top 10 questions I should prioritize practicing, ordered by likelihood of being asked.

  4. For each top question, give me a one-line summary of what a strong answer should include.

  5. Are there any curveball questions that only appeared once but would be hard to answer without preparation?

You'll quickly see that 80% of your prep time should go to questions that actually get asked (not random ones you’ve been practicing).

🎤 3. Practice in Voice Mode

For mock interviews, use ChatGPT in voice mode. This is key — typing your answers is nothing like speaking them out loud under pressure.

✍️ Use this prompt to set up your coach:

You are my interview coach for [Role] at [Company]. Run a mock interview with me. Ask me one question at a time and wait for my response before moving on. Focus on these question types in order of priority: [paste your top 5 from the Claude analysis]. After each answer, rate it 1-10 and tell me specifically what was missing or could be stronger. Do not be encouraging — be direct and critical. After 5 questions, give me an overall assessment and tell me the #1 thing I need to improve.

Talk through your answers out loud in voice mode like you would in a real interview. You'll catch filler words, rambling, and weak structure that you'd never notice typing.

The difference between candidates who land offers quickly and those who grind through round after round isn't experience or skills. It's strategic preparation. Use data instead of hope.

🤩 Optional but powerful: Build a simple tracker in Notion with columns for question type, specific question, times practiced, and confidence level (1-5). Over time, you'll see exactly where your gaps are. Then you can use Notion AI to surface patterns across your practice sessions, e.g., which question types you consistently score low on.
