ChatGPT is a very useful tool to prepare for an interview. It can answer all your questions, give feedback, and even conduct mock interviews with you. The article discusses prompts for Interviews that can help you get the best results out of it.
We’ll first consider two basic questions- what is ChatGPT and how to use it? Then we will consider whether it is okay to use it for an interview and in what ways you can do so. Then we’ll dive into our main topic- ChatGPT prompts that you can use for your Interview. Lastly, we will end with related questions that you might have while we’re on this topic.
What is Chatgpt?
It is a chatbot based on artificial intelligence that allows conversation, answers to questions, and other functions in a human-like way, enhanced by its extremely large knowledge structures and learning capabilities. The tool is, in essence, a program that can help get many things done efficiently and that learns and grows over time to enhance its abilities.
It is commonly used to answer various questions that users would previously have to look up through a search engine and go through multiple sites to get an answer.
How to chat with ChatGPT?
Go to this webpage. If it’s the first time, you’ll need to sign up. After that, you’ll be able to access a chat window.
Is it okay to use ChatGPT for an interview?
Opinion regarding the appropriateness as well as the usefulness of AI is mixed. However, it can definitely be a valuable tool in the preparation stage because it can help answer most of your questions and act as a great reference point.
From another point of view, using ChatGPT during an interview might not be ethical since the answers are not your own. It might also defeat the purpose because if poorly implemented, especially with video on, it can be easily found out that you’re reading off something, resulting in disqualification.
How can I use Chatgpt to prepare for an interview?
You can use ChatGPT in various ways to prepare for an interview- in this section, we will cover what these are. The next section on prompts will help you get the results.
1. Practicing
You can have a mock chat with it and get it to provide feedback on each of your answers. This is the best thing it could do because depending on the prompt, you can have it do most of the rest (i.e., feedback and rewriting) through this mock session itself.
2. Know about possible interview questions
It can help generate the common interview questions- be it technical or behavioral. This will give you a rough idea of what you can expect in the actual interview.
3. Know about alternate ways to answer interview questions
You can also refine your interview answers by having it rewrite it. You can ask it to generate different answers to the same question based on certain points you want it to keep in mind.
4. Modifications to cover letter and resume
It can give you suggestions and rewrite these for you. It can even create a template that you can start off with.
5. Following Up
It doesn’t hurt to send a thank you note to the interviewers post your interview. ChatGPT can help you customize one according to your liking.
6. Get tips and answers to other queries
You can get tips about what to wear, how to deal with anxiety, or any question at all that you might have about the interview process. This also includes what you’d want to avoid in an interview and how your body language should be. It compares information through various sources to understand what the norm is and provides you with tips accordingly.
Prompts to help with your interview
Prompting ChatGPT is pretty straightforward- the more details you’ll provide of what you expect it to perform, the better it will do. When it doesn’t work as intended, simply clarify and correct it. You can also regenerate a response until you’re satisfied with it.
These have been individually tested out with GPT-3.5 (the default version provided for free as of writing this article).
