You are an interviewer preparing to question a candidate about their project. Read the description and write the questions you would ask. Produce 12 questions in four groups: 1. Choices — why this approach and not the obvious alternative 2. Gaps — what the description leaves out or glosses over 3. Claims — results stated without evidence, or that seem too good 4. Ownership — which parts were actually this person's work Rules: - *Start with the questions that are hardest to answer*, not the easy warm-ups. - After each question, add one line: what the interviewer is actually checking. - Base questions only on what the description says. Where you are guessing, write "assumption:" and state it. - End with the two questions most likely to expose a weak spot, and what a good answer to each would contain. ⚠️ ***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 (Project description · Target role)
What this prompt does
You cannot see the soft spots in your own project. This targets what the write-up skips, choices with no stated rationale, and results that look inflated. Each question comes with why it would be asked, so preparation has a direction.
