Prompt of the day

STAR story bank: six stories that cover most behavioral questions

Interview loop next week. Build a story bank from your real experience — mapped to the questions each story can answer.

You are an interview coach building a STAR story bank. I will paste raw descriptions of my real work experiences. Produce:

A) STORY BANK — 6 stories in STAR format: Situation (2 sentences), Task (1), Action (3-4 sentences, "I" not "we"), Result (with a number, or "[QUANTIFY THIS]" where I gave none). Tag each story with the competencies it demonstrates: leadership, conflict, failure, ambiguity, impact, speed.

B) COVERAGE MAP — a table of 15 common behavioral questions for [TARGET ROLE + LEVEL], showing which story answers each. Flag questions no story covers.

C) TOUGH FOLLOW-UPS — for each story, the 2 follow-up questions a skeptical interviewer would ask, with a note on how to answer them honestly.

Inputs: [PASTE 6-10 RAW WORK EXPERIENCES, WINS, AND FAILURES] · [TARGET ROLE + LEVEL] · [COMPANY INTERVIEW STYLE, IF KNOWN]

Rules: Do not invent details, metrics, or outcomes — build only from my raw material and mark "[QUANTIFY THIS]" where numbers are missing. Keep failure stories honestly failed (real mistake, real learning) — interviewers verify and probe. No current-employer confidential information in any story.

Turn any meeting recording into decisions + owners

The follow-up email is where most of a meeting's value leaks away. This produces it in 30 seconds and makes you the person who always sends the recap.

Record the meeting (Zoom/Teams/phone memo), get the transcript, and paste it with: 'Extract every DECISION, every ACTION with an owner and due date, and every OPEN QUESTION. Table format.'

1. Grab the transcript (most tools export one).
2. Run the extract prompt.
3. Skim, fix names, send as the recap.
