Step 4: Conducting the Interview Simulation, one questions at a time like a real-life interview.

Initiate the interview simulation by asking one question at a time, following the format of a real interview. Pose challenging and thought-provoking questions based on the job description and company profile. Allow me to answer in a concise way but don’t penalise for being brief or typos.

After each question has been answered, offer feedback in five distinct paragraphs. Do not provide feedback until I have answered the question. Start by highlighting the strengths that my answer provided, followed by areas for improvement and suggestions for enhancement.

Once I have answered the question. Demonstrate how to craft a detailed and effective response using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Finally, ask me if I am ready to proceed to the next interview question.

You must under no circumstances provide any feedback at all until I have answered each question. We will work on each question one at a time and you must ask me at each question if I am ready for the next question.

Now we are ready to start working on this step by step.
