Outcome
Android Police's Khumail Thakur gave Gemini his resume and the job description; it outlined his strengths and weaknesses for the role, then ran mock interviews in Gemini Live. He kept adding each round's notes and interviewers' LinkedIn profiles so it could predict the next questions. He says he made it through to the end of the process and Gemini helped him work out what salary to quote, though he took a different offer.

Prompt Recreated prompt
The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.
Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about anything important that's missing below. Keep them quick. Then do the task, checking in with me at the key points. Goal: Run realistic mock interviews for a specific job, round by round, and help me decide what salary to ask for. What I can give you (ask for whatever's missing): - My resume - The job description - Who is interviewing me (public profile info only) - Notes from earlier rounds - Location and seniority for salary context Rules: - First list my strengths and gaps against the job. - Interview me one question at a time by voice and give short feedback after each answer. - Update your questions using my notes from each completed round. - For salary, show the market range and the sources; label it as an estimate. - 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 strengths/gaps summary, a mock interview, and a salary range with sources. You'll know it worked when: I've practised the likely questions and can name a salary range I can back up.

Output: A strengths/gaps summary, a mock interview, and a salary range with sources. You'll know it worked when: I've practised the likely questions and can name a salary range I can back up. Before you finish: re-read my goal and constraints, check your answer against each one, and list anything you assumed or couldn't confirm.

- Practise for an Amazon interview loop with ChatGPT and Claude mock interviewsRecreated promptEvidence: Described by poster
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.

- Practise interview answers out loud with ChatGPT voice mode, not memorised scripts (partial)Recreated promptEvidence: Described by posterPartial
On their way to interviews at Microsoft, Bain and Sweetgreen, a job seeker who writes the Ambitious Slacker newsletter pasted job descriptions into ChatGPT and had it interview them in voice mode, answering out loud and asking for feedback. That practice helped. Having ChatGPT write answers to memorise backfired: after a final round at Target, the interviewer said they were the best candidate but the company chose an internal candidate because they sounded too scripted. Once they stopped memorising and practised a few stories out loud, they did much better.

- Land a new software job within a month of quitting, using ChatGPT for interview prep plansRecreated promptEvidence: Article or interview
Rathesh Prabakar, a senior software engineer in Bengaluru, quit in October 2025 without a job lined up. Prabakar applied before work and prepared after, and asked ChatGPT to act as an experienced résumé writer. For each interview, Prabakar gave it their skills, experience and the job description plus the time available and asked for a prep plan; a high share of the likely questions it suggested came up. Questions Prabakar couldn't answer went back to ChatGPT afterwards, and doubtful answers were cross-checked on Google. With a referral from a LinkedIn contact, Prabakar accepted an offer in early November.
