Hey, hope you're all well and on track!
I was hesitant to share this, but thought why the hell not?
I've developed a tool that's been instrumental in my interview preparation. It's currently called Interview Prep Pro, though this is like V0.1 so very likely to change. Its an AI-powered platform that allows you to upload your CV (or you can upload any .txt file that you'd like it to consider) then generates suitable, appropriate interview questions and provides typically great feedback on your responses (I've had few where I thought I don't think that'd be suited, but I'm going to be prompt testing a lot so hopefully reviews get even more accurate).
As someone who's recently been in the job market, I've found this tool incredibly useful. I used it three times daily for a week leading up to my first interview, and I've never felt more fluid in an interview before. In my experience, I've found that this approach significantly accelerates trial and improvement. The variety of questions enables your brain to form connections and be primed with examples and points for any question you might encounter, even if you haven't practiced that specific one. - answers were readily available in my mind before the interviewer had even finished their questions.
Key features:
- Cost-effective (I DO NOT MAKE MONEY FROM THIS, THE COST COMES FROM YOUR USE OF OPENAI's SERVICES!)
- Unlimited usage
- Helps prepare for a broad spectrum of questions
- Simple but effective interface
- Compared to alternatives, you should see more improvement in less time.
- Added a userID feature. This means you don't need to sign up, but remember your user ID and you can track your progression using the chart at the end of the page.... Maybe, I' ve just implemented this and have no time of data to actually know if it is working.
Potential drawbacks:
- Requires a personal OpenAI API key (I don't profit from this, but it means users cover their own API costs)
- Currently in beta (v0.1), so expect some gremlins to remain - please report these to me as I can't recreate all scenarios myself.
- Initial loading can be very slow if no one has visited the site in a while. Please allow up to 1 minute,
- Can Only Upload .TXT Files! This is a priority, I want to at least have .docx and .pdf functional too.
Why Tho??
I created this tool out of frustration with the increasingly expensive AI solutions flooding the market. My goal was to provide an affordable option, particularly for those in the midst of a job search.
To give you an idea of the cost, even with 3/day usage for 2 months, you're looking at around £8.50(11$) total, disclaimer - keep up to date with OpenAIs token charges.
If you're interested in trying it out, you can find it here.](https://interview-prep-app-v3.onrender.com/)
I'm open to feedback and suggestions for improvement. If you encounter any issues or have ideas to enhance the tool, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Best of luck with your interview prep!
