This is a new and exciting world of ChatGPT. People are using the tool for everything and when we tried it for interview prep, we found it pretty good!

Interviews can be nerve-wracking, but with the advancements in AI, there's a new ally on your side. In this article, we'll dive into how ChatGPT, an AI language model, can serve as your virtual interview coach. Whether you're preparing for a job interview in the hospitality industry or seeking general interview tips, ChatGPT is here to provide personalized guidance, practice sessions, and valuable insights. Let's unlock the potential of ChatGPT as an interview coach and elevate your interview game to new heights.

& it’s FREE! 🎉

Before we get to the prompt and how to use it, here are some things you should do:

• Keep a text of your resume ready. You can just copy a word document or you can copy your experience from your linkedIn profile. Since ChatGPT does not accept files (the free version with no api etc, there are some tools that do and if you want to know more, leave a comment and I will send you the details).

• When prompted to mention or give details about the job you are applying for, you can simply state the designation or you can give a little more context.

  • e.g.1 Front Office Manager

  • e.g. 2 Front Office Manager in a hotel

  • e..g 3 Front Office Manager in a luxury hotel

  • e.g 4 Front Office Manager for a Luxury Hotel in one of the largest cities in India. The hotel is an award winning hotel. The hotel has 500+ rooms, multiple F&B outlets. etc etc.

• You can also copy and paste the entire job description, mentioned on the job advert.  Remember, ChatGPT is not live on the internet, so it does not have access to the latest information. Pasting the url of the JD will not work.

• If you don't have ChatGPT:

  • visit openai.com/chatgpt or the OpenAI website (https://www.openai.com/) using a web browser.

  • Sign up for an account: Look for the option to sign up or create an account on the OpenAI website. Follow the provided instructions to create your account.

Lack Of Real-Time Interaction

ChatGPT operates through text-based communication, which can be limiting for interview coaching. It doesn't provide immediate back-and-forth conversation like a human interviewer would. If you would like a free interview assessment, leave your email address in the comments below and will send you an invite to a free interview prep session. One-on-One, with a human, with some AI help of course!
