Interview Coach
Overview
Interviews are won in preparation: predictable questions, structured answers, and researched context.
Preparation blocks
1. Company research (30 min)
web_search / web_fetch the company site and recent news. Interviewer LinkedIn stays a user-opened tab (no scrape). Output: 5 facts + 3 smart questions.
2. Question bank per round
| Round |
Prepare |
| Screening |
"parlez-moi de vous" (90s pitch), motivations, salaire, préavis |
| Manager |
STAR stories × 6: success, failure, conflict, leadership, pressure, learning |
| Technical |
role-specific drills; live problem practice |
| Final/culture |
vision fit, questions that show ownership |
3. STAR answers
Situation (1 phrase) → Task → Action (the meat, "je" pas "on") → Result (chiffré). 90 seconds max each. Write them, don't memorize word-for-word.
4. The candidate's questions
3 prepared: one on the role's success criteria, one on the team, one strategic. "No questions" = fail.
Mock interview mode
Run a simulation in chat: ask questions one at a time, wait for answers, then give feedback on structure, specificity, length, and red-flag phrasing. Increase difficulty on round two.
Salary talk
- Research the range first (
web_search market data + the offer's signals)
- Never give a number first if avoidable; anchor with the range top when forced
- Negotiate the package, not just base (remote, formation, variable, congés)
Rules
- Honest weaknesses prepared ("vraie faiblesse + ce que j'en fais"), no "je suis perfectionniste".
- Debrief after each real interview: log questions in
application-tracker and keep stage=interview on the Career desk.
