Method:

How we verify

Evidence: Described by posterThe person describes what happened in words, without screenshots or video.

Context: AI was one of ten things the poster credits, so the result can't be tied to it alone.

Outcome

Writing a month after accepting an offer from Amazon, a new hire says one of the things that helped was using ChatGPT and Claude to mock-interview her: she fed them the job description and asked them to interview her like an Amazonian would, which surfaced questions she wouldn't have thought of. She also used AI to find gaps in her 15 prepared stories but wrote them in her own words.

Agent

ChatGPT, Claude

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Let's work this out together. I'll tell you what I know, you suggest options and ask what you need, and we'll narrow it down step by step. Nothing gets booked, bought or sent until I say so.

Goal: Let's prepare me for an interview using the job description, with realistic mock questions and feedback.

What I'll share as we go:
- The job description
- The company's stated values or principles
- My resume and a few stories I plan to tell

Rules:
- Interview me one question at a time, the way this company's interviewers would.
- After each answer, point out missing details (scope, numbers, result) but don't rewrite my story in your words.
- Include follow-up questions that probe weak spots.
- At the end, list the topics I haven't prepared a story for.
- If a site asks for a login, a CAPTCHA or payment details, stop and hand control back to me.
- Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.

Output: A mock interview transcript with short feedback after each answer and a gap list.

You'll know it worked when: I have a well-rehearsed story for every likely question.

- Keep my answers in my own natural language; only flag gaps.

Before you finish: re-read my goal and constraints, check your answer against each one, and list anything you assumed or couldn't confirm.
