Prepare for an interview with focused research.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Prepare a research brief on [COMPANY] for my interview for [JOB_TITLE]. Use only information I paste below or that you can verify through search; mark anything unverified as [VERIFY]. What I have: [PASTE_NOTES_OR_LINKS]. Produce a one-page brief with these sections: 1. What they do and how they make money (three sentences). 2. Recent news or changes in the past year and what each might mean for this role. 3. Their likely challenges, listed as hypotheses I can test in the interview. 4. Culture signals from the job post, reviews, and leadership statements, with the source named. 5. Five smart questions for me to ask, each tied to something specific in the research. 6. A two-sentence "why this company" answer in my voice, based on my interests: [MY_INTERESTS]. 7. Red flags or things to clarify. Keep it under 450 words. Do not invent numbers, names, or quotes. If you cannot verify a fact, say what I should look up and where, such as the careers page, annual report, or recent press releases. Separate facts from your inferences by labeling each inference clearly so I do not repeat a guess as if it were true. Check each fact, figure and claim against your own records or official documents, and ask a qualified professional to review anything with legal, safety or financial consequences before use.
