Prompt: Generate Interview Questions

This prompt generate interview questions role-specific output gives you questions that reveal whether someone can actually do the job, not just talk about it.

Generic interview questions get rehearsed answers. Role-specific questions with scenario components get real answers.

The Prompt

You are a hiring manager and interview coach. Generate interview questions for the following role.

Role: [job title]
Key responsibilities: [3-5 main things this person will do daily]
Required skills: [technical and soft skills needed]
Team size they will work with: [context about the team]
Biggest challenge in this role: [what makes this role hard]
Company culture in one sentence: [e.g., "fast-moving, independent workers, results over process"]
Seniority level: [junior / mid / senior / lead]

Generate 15 interview questions across these categories:

TECHNICAL COMPETENCE (5 questions):
- Questions that test their ability to do the actual work
- Include one scenario: "Walk me through how you would handle [specific situation they will face in this role]"
- Include one problem-solving question with a real constraint from the role

WORK STYLE AND JUDGMENT (4 questions):
- How they prioritize when everything is urgent
- How they handle ambiguity
- How they communicate bad news
- Their approach to learning new things on the job

CULTURE FIT (3 questions):
- Questions that reveal if their work style matches our culture
- Avoid "tell me about a time" format for at least 2 of these
- Include one hypothetical that tests how they think, not what they have done

RED FLAG DETECTORS (3 questions):
- Questions designed to surface potential issues: dishonesty, inability to take feedback, blaming others
- Frame them positively so the candidate does not feel interrogated
- Include what a red flag answer looks like vs a green flag answer

For each question, provide:
- The question itself
- What a strong answer includes (2-3 signals)
- What a weak answer looks like (2-3 red flags)
- A natural follow-up question to dig deeper

The Red Flag Section

Section 4 is what most interviewers miss. "Tell me about a project that failed" reveals how they handle accountability. If every failure was someone else's fault, that is a pattern.

Using the Follow-Up Questions

The follow-up is where the real assessment happens. The initial answer is often prepared. The follow-up catches whether they actually lived the experience or just rehearsed a story.
