An Interview Coming Up? Prepare with AI, Step by Step.

You have an interview next week, and you don't know where to start. This video shows a step-by-step way to prepare with an ordinary AI chat, and ends with a one-page preparation sheet you can adapt. You will see how to: • Gather the real advert, the full job description, dated official council pages and your own true examples. • Ask the AI to separate facts the sources state from what they might suggest, and from what you still need to ask. • Practise one question and one follow-up, with direct feedback, and decide for yourself which feedback to keep. • Finish with questions to ask them and a sheet of what to check.

We read only those pages, and describe the dates as the plan's own statements. • Access to Services Strategy (2022), council document. The refreshed plan says this strategy is due to be refreshed, so we don't treat it as current. About this video • The candidate, their notes and their answers are a made-up illustrative example, not a real person. The practised answers are role-play written by us from those notes. • The advert and council pages are real public pages. We don't know how the council will interview. The possible questions are possibilities, not the council's real questions. • The example replies were generated with Claude (Anthropic), model claude-opus-5-5, through a Claude Code native subagent on 9 October 2026, and are shown in our own text cards. They are not screenshots of any website, and your answers may differ. Where we reword AI text, the card says so. • The judgements, checks and suggested wording on screen are ours. The suggested wording was not tested beyond this example. • AI can make mistakes. Check dates, requirements and anything important against the official pages. • Narration is AI-generated using OpenAI text-to-speech, voice Marin. • Music: "Gentle Piano 01", an original instrumental created for AI Made Simple. • AI Made Simple is an independent channel and is not affiliated with Anthropic, OpenAI or High Peak Borough Council.
