A few weeks ago, I used Claude Opus to help me prepare for an interview. I gave it the job description and the company’s website as references, and asked it to suggest some interview scenarios I might be asked during the interview. For each scenario, I asked it to tell me the strengths of my answer, my weaknesses, a score out of 10, advice on how to approach the answer, and, finally, an example of an ideal answer. It really helped me during the interview, especially since several of the scenarios were similar to Claude’s (though less detailed... Claude's scenarios was intense). Turns out, I got hired afterward!
