Tailored Questions = Increased Focus!

From my perspective, getting tailored interview questions based on the role I was applying for ahead of training made a huge difference. It instantly made the whole process feel more personal and relevant, rather than just another generic session.

Instead of guessing or asking ChatGPT to suggest what might be asked, I could focus on questions Hilt gave me that actually matched the role I was going for and my own experience. I also received 2 guides – one to help with that awful Tell Me About Yourself opening question and another to help me structure my examples. That alone made the prep feel much more worthwhile. I had the time to properly think through my answers, shape my examples, and notice where I was a bit unsure or needed to check if it was strong enough.

By the time the interview preparation session came around, it took a lot of the pressure off as I didn’t feel like I was starting cold. I already had a foundation so was able to spend more time refining and improving rather than scrambling to come up with answers on the spot. Overall, it felt like the preparation session was built around me, not just a standard template. That made me more confident going in — and it definitely showed in how I was able to get maximise benefit from the session.

On the day of the interview, that preparation really paid off. I felt calm, clear, and ready to handle whatever came my way. Because I’d already worked through those questions, I wasn’t thrown by anything unexpected — I could adapt my answers confidently and keep the conversation flowing naturally.

Instead of overthinking, I was able to focus on connecting with the interviewer and showcasing my experience in a structured way – with evidence. It honestly felt less like an interrogation and more like a professional discussion and I came away knowing I’d performed at my best. Two days later I was thrilled to find out I’d got the job and I now have a framework to use for any interviews in the future.
