AI Job Interview Assistant

Inspiration

Recently I am in a situation where I have been impacted due to layoffs in these challenging times. So I started to apply for jobs in various portals and wanted to be ready for interview, what kind of questions are being asked and so on. I have been associated with my company since last 14 years and didn't appear for job interviews since a very long time. If I get shortlisted for interview rounds, I wanted to be aware what kind of questions I should be prepared for. The internet has overwhelming information about this topic and thus I got the idea of why not ask AI for this step using various parameters like Company Name, Job Title and Job Description, which will provide me most common interview questions a company asks and the technical questions expected based on the job description.

What it does

Basically this app takes user inputs like Company Name, Job Title and Job Description and provide the response of 10 potential technical/behavioral interview questions along with 10 most common interview questions a person can expect. It also provides a chat option, where the user can practice for interview questions or ask answers for any queries related to the interview questions on how to answer. This may/may not be always correct, but it will definitely help to prepare for the interviews.

How we built it

I built it using the PartyRock playground app by providing simple prompt to be my virtual assistant for job interview.

Challenges we ran into

Initially I had only Job Description as User Input which was not so precise if I wanted to prepare for a specific job position in a company. This gave me an idea to add two additional inputs to capture the company name and job title. I modified the prompt for the "Interview Questions" and "Most Common Interview Questions" to include the company name and job title and provide precise information for the interview questions. I also wanted to have the capability of getting sample answers for the questions I was not clear or how to answer, thus the chat option was the need of the hour which could help.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

My first ever GenAI application :)

What we learned

Gen AI and the LLMs, as well as several other models I tried to get the expected response. How changing a prompt can have impact on the output from the model was something I learnt :)

What's next for Virtual Job Interview Assistant

To have a widget for score, which will take into consideration answers provided for the questions asked and how good/bad it was answered.
