 <\/p>\n

1. Head to the site<\/a>: https:\/\/www.adzuna.co.uk\/jobs\/prepper<\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Enter the details for the job you are applying for<\/h2>\n

Tip: Paste the job description and company name from the job ad into Prepper to personalise your answer. Why? Most HRs and recruiters are able to spot a generic answer after your first few lines. Prepper is capable of tailoring your answer to the job description and the company\u2019s values, showing your interviewers that you know what they are looking for and you\u2019re up to the task. It’s always good to save a copy of the job ad, as you’ll want to refer back to this before interview.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Pick your interviewer style<\/h2>\n

This step will determine how challenging your questions will be, so choose wisely. We are using a \u201cTeaching assistant\u201d job as an example.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meet Bob \u2013 our affable and amicable AI rep who will be asking you five standard and classic interview questions for your role. Choose \u201cEasy\u201d mode after receiving your first interview invitation, or if you just want a warm up exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bob starts with this question: \u201cHave you ever worked with children on a one-to-one basis? If so, could you describe your experience?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

If you choose \u201cHard\u201d mode, be prepared to get some curveball questions from our AI rep Kate. The hard mode is perfect for jobseekers who have been invited back by an employer for a second or third round interview.<\/p>\n

Kate asks: \u201cCan you provide an example of a successful intervention you have implemented to help a struggling student?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Say \u201cAhoy\u201d to Captain Jack. He goes wherever the wind takes him, so he\u2019s a bit of a wild card. Just like some interviewers in real life, he may ask you some off-the-wall questions that might have nothing to do with your ability to handle the role.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pick pirate mode if you want to have a bit of fun, or if you\u2019ve already perfected your interviewing skills via \u201cEasy\u201d and \u201cHard\u201d modes. It\u2019s also a brilliant way to train your mind to keep calm under pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Captain Jack asks: \u201cAhoy! Avast ye, ye scurvy dog! Tell me matey, what be ye experience working with children?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
