AI Interview Prep Automation Skill - Personalized Q&A, Company Intel & STAR Answers from Your CV

Walking into an interview under-prepared costs more than the offer — it costs the confidence to negotiate, to ask the right questions, and to tell your own story well. This Claude skill turns that prep from a scattered, last-minute scramble into a structured, research-backed process that takes minutes instead of hours.

How it works

Give it two things: the job description and your CV. That's it. The skill then:

1. Researches the company for you — pulling real Glassdoor ratings, culture pros/cons, recent news, and LinkedIn company data, so you walk in knowing what current and former employees actually say about the place.

2. Finds real interview questions — not generic "tell me about yourself" filler, but actual questions reported by past candidates for that exact company and role, scraped from Glassdoor interview reports (with Reddit and Blind as fallbacks when Glassdoor comes up empty).

3. Runs a gap analysis — comparing your CV line-by-line against the job description to show you exactly where you're a strong match, where you're a partial match with a bridge tip, and where the real gaps are, plus a match score out of 10.

4. Builds a full Q&A pack — 15 to 25 tailored questions across behavioral, situational, technical, role-specific, and culture-fit categories. Every behavioral answer is written in STAR format (Situation, Task, Action, Result) and grounded in a real example pulled from your actual CV — never fabricated, never generic.

5. Writes your "tell me about yourself" script — a full 90-second answer, properly arced from your past to your present to why this role and why this company.

6. Pulls salary intelligence — base and total comp ranges from Glassdoor and LinkedIn, so you're not negotiating blind.

7. Gives you smart questions to ask back — specific to the company's news, culture signals, and the ambiguities in the role, not the recycled "what does a typical day look like?"

What you get, every time

A single, organized prep kit with clear sections: Company Intelligence, Role Fit Analysis, Interview Process (what to expect, how many rounds, difficulty), your personalized Q&A Pack, Salary Intelligence, Questions to Ask, and the 3–5 Key Messages you should land no matter which question comes at you. If the interview is technical, it adds a dedicated technical prep section with likely problem types and the assessment platform the company tends to use.

Why this beats a generic prep list

Most interview advice is the same 20 questions repeated everywhere, with answers you have to write yourself from scratch under time pressure. This skill inverts that: it finds out what this specific company actually asks, cross-references it against your specific background, and hands you answers already built — you just make them your own in your voice.

Who this is for

Job seekers with an interview on the calendar who want to walk in over-prepared instead of hoping it goes fine. Especially useful if you're interviewing at a company you don't know well, switching industries, coming back to interviewing after time away, or you just want your STAR stories to actually land instead of rambling.

How to use it

Once you have the skill, just tell Claude about your upcoming interview, paste the job description and your CV (or upload the files), mention the company and role, and Claude does the research and writes the full kit. You can also ask follow-up questions like "drill me on the technical questions" or "make my STAR answers shorter" and it'll adjust live.

No spreadsheets, no fifteen open tabs of Glassdoor reviews, no guessing what they'll ask. Just a clear, honest, well-researched plan for your next interview.
