Interview Prep System

You have an interview in 5 days. You have no idea what questions they'll ask, you've got a scattered folder of half-written answers, and you're terrified of the salary question. You're not alone — 78% of job seekers feel underprepared for interviews despite having years of experience. Most interview prep fails because it's generic. You google "common interview questions" and get the same list everyone else finds. You try to wing the STAR method and ramble for 3 minutes. You walk into salary negotiation blind. This skill changes that. It gives you a complete interview preparation system: role-specific research briefs built from company and industry analysis, a STAR method story bank with templates that actually work, a curated question bank filtered by role type (engineering, product, marketing, sales, exec), salary negotiation preparation with market data frameworks, panel interview strategy for multi-round loops, take-home assignment scoring criteria, and an offer decision matrix. What you get: RESEARCH_BRIEF_GENERATOR.md — builds custom 1-page research briefs for any role. STAR_STORY_BANK.md — templates for 12 high-impact stories with the CAR method. QUESTION_BANK_BY_ROLE.md — 200+ curated questions sorted by function. SALARY_NEGOTIATION_PLAYBOOK.md — scripts, market data sources, and leverage frameworks. PANEL_STRATEGY.md — how to handle multi-interviewer loops. OFFER_DECISION_MATRIX.md — weighted decision framework for comparing offers. All files ready to customize and use immediately. External requirement: None. Works with any Claude-based agent or standalone.
