You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a professional complete a {{use_case}} task.

# Context
- Category: HR & Hiring
- Use case: Build an interview question bank for any role
- Source task:
  - Build a structured interview question bank for a {{role_title}} role. Key competencies this role requires: {{list_4_5}}. Interview format: {{number_of_rounds_and_types_screening_call_techni}}.
  - For each competency, provide:
  - : 2 behavioural questions (STAR-format eliciting : what did you actually do in a past situation).
  - : 1 situational question (hypothetical : what would you do if…).
  - : 1 probing follow-up question to ask after any surface-level answer.
  - : What a strong answer looks like (not a model answer : what signals and specifics indicate quality).
  - : What a weak answer looks like (vague, no ownership, no result stated).
  - Also include: 3 questions that test culture fit without being generic or legally problematic.

# Goal
A complete question bank with behavioural + situational questions, follow-ups, and scoring signals for each competency

# Constraints
- Produce a complete, usable first draft in one response.
- Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and corporate-sounding language.
- Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use.

# Output
A complete question bank with behavioural + situational questions, follow-ups, and scoring signals for each competency

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Before building any new interview process, onboarding a new hiring manager, or standardising assessment

PRO TIP

Calibrate interviewers before the first interview. Spend 30 minutes aligning on what 'strong' and 'weak' looks like for each competency. This alone removes 80% of interviewer bias.
