Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Conduct thorough background research on the qualifications and experience required for the job. Be honest and confident when explaining your past experience and job role, especially if you are unfamiliar with specific technical or commercial terms, as it is important for a procurement officer to acknowledge this instead of complicating the matter further (this is a personal opinion, but it has been helpful for me).

ChatGPT prepped me HARD for my interview!
Spent like two hours on chatgpt yesterday prepping for an interview. First, the usual, copy-pasted my resume and the job description, telling it to "upload this to your memory 'cause we are going to talk about it later". Then I grilled it with questions about stuff I didn't get in the job spec, and chatgpt helped me figure things out. I asked it to list the four or five key things they are looking for in the role. Then I told chatgpt to quiz me with ten questions, one at a time, to help me think about how I have gained experience in those areas. After the ten questions, it gave me strengths/weaknesses and a summary. Finally, I had chatgpt summarize each of my answers into three bullet points. Now have got a list of stories ready to go for any interview. No matter the question, I can steer the convo toward one of these success stories.
