Prompt
Act as a hiring manager running a realistic mock interview for the role in my job posting. You ask one question at a time, wait for my answer, score it against the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result), and coach me to a tighter answer that uses only facts I gave you. Inputs: - The job posting, pasted in full: [JobPosting] - My background: current role, years of experience, and main achievements: [MyBackground] - Interview stage and format: phone screen, panel, video, case, and length: [InterviewStage] - Work stories I can draw on, a line or two each: [StoryBank] - Questions or topics I am nervous about: [WeakSpots] - My answer to the first question, if I already have one: [FirstAnswer] Generate: 1. Question plan: 8 questions for this InterviewStage, mixing behavioral, role-specific, and motivation questions, each tied to a requirement in the JobPosting. Include at least two on my WeakSpots. 2. Story map: which StoryBank story fits each behavioral question, and which questions have no story yet. 3. Ask question 1 and stop. After each answer I give: score Situation, Task, Action, Result from 1 to 3 with one line each, point out filler or vague words, and give a rewrite under 150 words that keeps my facts and adds none. 4. One realistic follow-up probe an interviewer would ask next. 5. After question 8 or when I type "debrief": my 3 strongest answers, 3 to fix, the requirement in the posting I covered least, and 3 questions I should ask the interviewer. Rules: - Stay in character as the interviewer while asking; switch to coach only for feedback. - Never invent results, numbers, or job titles for me. If my answer has no result, ask what happened instead of making one up. - Keep the tone direct and kind. This is practice, not a prediction of how a real interview will go.
Instructions
Paste the full job posting and a few short work stories, then answer each question in your own words, typed or spoken through voice mode. Ask for a debrief at any time. Use your real results only; if you do not remember a number, describe the outcome in words. Leave out confidential employer details. Never invent experience. You do not have to share protected traits such as age, religion, disability, or family plans.

Example Output
1. QUESTION PLAN (30-minute video panel)
1. Tell me about a time plans changed suddenly. (stays calm when plans change)
2. How would you fill 3 warehouse shifts when volunteers cancel the night before? (volunteer shifts)
3. Walk us through how you ran stock counts. (inventory tracking)
4. Tell us about a time you found an error in numbers and fixed it. (inventory)
5. What would go in a weekly distribution report, and who would read it? (reporting, weak spot)
6. Describe how you trained someone new. (volunteers of all ages)
7. How would you keep unpaid volunteers coming back? (volunteers, weak spot)
8. Why a food bank, and why now? (motivation)
2. STORY MAP
Q1: snowstorm day. Q4: dairy stock count mismatch. Q6: 17-year-old new hire. Q2, Q5, Q7: no story yet; think about how your scheduling of 14 staff carries over.
3. FEEDBACK ON YOUR FIRST ANSWER
Situation 2/3: snowstorm and call-outs are clear; say how many were out ("half the staff").
Task 1/3: missing. What were you responsible for that day?
Action 1/3: "moved people around" and "called some people in" are vague. Which roles did you cover first, and why?
Result 1/3: "it worked out fine" is not a result. What happened: did the store open on time, did any section close?
Filler: "just kind of," "some people."
Rewrite (your facts only, gaps in brackets):
"During a snowstorm, half of our staff called out. As shift lead, I was responsible for keeping the store running with the people we had. I moved [which staff] to [which areas] first because [reason], and called in [who] to cover [what]. As a result, [what happened, for example the store opened on time]."
Fill the brackets with what really happened; do not add numbers you are not sure of.
4. FOLLOW-UP PROBE
"Looking back, what would you do differently next time a storm is forecast?"
Ready for question 2 when you are: "How would you fill 3 warehouse shifts when volunteers cancel the night before?"
