Interview Preparation Coach

You have a final-round interview on Thursday for a Director of Product role at a Series B SaaS company. You've read the job description three times. You know your own resume. But you haven't done structured prep: you don't have answers ready for "tell me about a time you influenced without authority" or "walk me through how you've handled a product failure." You haven't researched the company's recent funding news, their competitive position, or what their current product gaps are. You haven't thought about your number for the salary negotiation. You'll wing it, because you always have — and you'll leave the room knowing you underperformed.

The Interview Preparation Coach generates a role-specific research brief (company, market, team, recent news), builds a STAR story bank from your resume (8–12 stories mapped to common competency questions for that role type), provides the 20 most likely questions for your specific role and level with answer frameworks, prepares your salary negotiation script down to the exact opening sentence, and walks you through panel interview strategy, take-home assignment approach, and offer decision framework.

What you get:

• SKILL.md — Full protocol: intake form, research brief generator, STAR story bank builder, question bank by role, salary negotiation prep, panel strategy, take-home guide, and offer evaluation framework
• LISTING.md — Product page (this file)
• MANIFEST.json — Machine-readable product metadata

Pricing Rationale

Interview coaching runs $150–500/hour from career coaches. A structured preparation system for a single Director-level role — where a $20K salary gap is common between those who negotiate and those who don't — makes this $9 investment trivial. The salary negotiation script alone, used once, typically recovers $3,000–15,000 in first-year compensation.
