Find the weak points in my history an interviewer would press on, and prepare answers. 1. List the weak points. **Include ones you find in my history that I did not mention.** 2. Per weak point, an answer structured as: one sentence acknowledging the fact → the context and judgment at the time → what changed since. 3. **Do not make excuses. Do not over-apologize.** Both cost points. 4. ***If an answer would require me to lie, do not write it.*** Write "needs the facts filled in" instead. 5. 20–30 seconds spoken per answer. Then: the one weak point most likely to end the interview, and whether it can be answered at all. ⚠️ ***Use only what I gave you. Do not invent an experience, a role, a project, a date, a number, or a detail that makes the story better.*** **Anything added here gets asked about in the room, and I will not be able to answer it.** Where the material is too thin, **say what is missing and ask.**
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (My history · What I am worried about)
What this prompt does
You cannot see your own soft spots. This finds them, structures an answer that neither excuses nor over-apologizes, and refuses to write anything requiring a lie.
