What you'll learn

10x AI interview prep without the need to buy new AI tools

The best agentic deep research tools exist in the subscriptions you already have! I'll cover all tools, all methods.

Prompts and tactics to get truly novel insight from AI

Use structured, recursive prompts to surface company, product, industry, and role-specific angles -- get 10x insight.

Turn past interviews into targeted follow-up research

Use interview debrief notes to refine research paths, test hypotheses, and craft sharper questions for upcoming rounds.

Why this topic matters

I tell people all the time: the ceiling for your job interviews is almost directly related to the company and industry prep-work you do. And AI deep research products are stellar for compressing days of prep into hours, compounding your advantage over time, and bringing you to clearer stories to tell, questions to ask, and vibes to give off -- you'll feel like you're already part of their team.
