How to use AI for job interviews

Recently, I was interviewing for a new role at my company, and in this new role, I would be doing what is called a “ladder transfer”. So I would be leaving the current job category I am in (think MOS for you military types) and moving to a new job category. I am trying to move from a program manager role to a more formal strategy role. Now I have done strategy type work before in consulting, so I was familiar with a lot of the frameworks and types of questions asked for these types of roles, mostly in consulting case interviews during my MBA.

However, it has been a while since I have done an interview like this before, so I thought it best to brush up on my interview skills and review frameworks for this sort of interview. I didnt feel like getting on youtube or searching on the internet for example case studies, so I decided to try a different technique.

I used AI! I’ve been using generative AI tools a lot more at work and in my personal life, so I figured to give it a spin for this adventure. Here is what I did.
