You've been invited to an interview – now you need to prepare. AI can be your sparring partner to help you become more concrete and targeted.
What can AI help with?
There are many things to focus on before a job interview. AI can help you with:
- How to show motivation
- What questions to expect
- Questions you can ask the company
- Handling difficult topics
- Salary negotiation
How to do it
Step 1: Give AI information about the job
Start by giving the AI tool information about the position:
- Insert a link to the job posting
- Or copy the text from the posting
Step 2: Ask questions
Write for example:
"I have a job interview for this position and would like to know how I can best show my motivation for the job."
The AI tool will give you a response with relevant insights.
Step 3: Ask more questions
You can also ask about:
- "Give me examples of questions I can ask the company"
- "What questions can I expect them to ask me?"
- "Can you give me advice on salary negotiation?"
- "I've never been to an interview before – how does a typical interview work?"
Example: Handling a difficult topic
If you have a difficult topic to address, you can ask AI:
"I have many years of experience, but I stopped last time due to stress. Now I'm recovered. How should I handle this in the interview?"
AI gives you a suggestion you can adapt to your situation.
Take what's relevant
Not all answers can be used directly – but they can provide new knowledge and inspiration.
Take what's relevant for you. Leave the rest.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using AI answers directly: Adapt to your own voice
- Not practicing: AI gives inspiration, but practice makes perfect
- Not giving context: The more info, the better answers
Try it yourself
- Find the job posting or position description
- Go to the AI tool
- Ask about motivation, questions, or other topics
- Adapt the answers to yourself
- Practice with what you've learned
Frequently asked questions
Can AI practice the interview with me?
Yes, you can ask it to ask you questions like an interviewer. Answer, and ask for feedback.
Are AI answers always correct?
