Improved prompt:

Your assignment is to develop an Interview Preparation Web Application using VS Code as your primary development environment. You may choose either Streamlit (Python) or Next.js (JavaScript) as your front-end framework. The application should be designed as a single-page website for ease of navigation.

The primary function of this app is to leverage AI to assist users in preparing for their dream job interviews. Recall the varied types of interview scenarios you've experienced or heard about—technical questions, system design prompts, behavioral questions, or even job description analysis.

Your task is to implement this functionality by integrating OpenAI's API with your chosen framework. You will need to create system prompts that guide the AI in generating interview preparation content based on user input.

Here are the key components of your application:

  1. User Input: Design an intuitive interface for users to enter details such as the job role, required skills, or specific questions they want to practice.

  2. AI Integration: Use OpenAI's API to connect your application with an LLM. Write a system prompt that clearly outlines the desired output, such as:

    • "Act as an Interview Practice Assistant. Based on the user's input, generate a list of 5-7 relevant interview questions or prompts that a coding interview for this role is likely to include. Ensure the questions are challenging yet teachable for a mid-level developer."
  3. Output Generation: The AI should generate a variety of interview scenarios based on the system prompt and user input. The output could include:

    • A list of technical questions with hints or full solutions.
    • Behavioral questions with suggested responses.
    • An analysis of the job description, highlighting key skills to focus on.
  4. User Interaction: The app should allow users to interact with the AI-generated content. This could be done through:

    • Expandable sections for each question.
    • A "Practice" button that generates follow-up questions based on the user's previous responses.
    • A "Review" mode that allows users to score their performance and track their progress.

Remember, this is an opportunity for creative problem-solving. You are encouraged to experiment with different features and functionalities that would make the interview preparation experience more engaging and effective. Use resources like ChatGPT, StackOverflow, or online forums for inspiration or troubleshooting.

The final submission should include:

  • The source code of your application.
  • A README file explaining the key features and how to run the app.
  • A link to a live demo of the application if possible.
  • A short reflection on what you learned or any challenges you faced during the implementation.

Your goal is to create a polished, user-friendly application that effectively leverages AI to enhance the interview preparation process. Good luck!

Original prompt (before our improvements)

You will build your own Interview Preparation app. I would imagine that you have participated in several interviews at some point. You have been asked questions. You were given exercises or some personality tests to complete. Fortunately, AI assistance comes to help. With it, you can do pretty much everything, including preparing for your next dream position. Your task will be to implement a single-page website using VS Code (or Cursor) editor, and either a Python library called Streamlit or a JavaScript framework called Next.js. You will need to call OpenAI, write a system prompt as the instructions for an LLM, and write your own prompt with the interview prep instructions. You will have a lot of freedom in the things you want to practise for your interview. We don't want you to put it in a box. Interview Questions? Specific programming language questions? Asking questions at the end of the interview? Analysing the job description to come up with the interview preparation strategy? Experiment! Remember, you have all of your tools at your disposal if, for some reason, you get stuck or need inspiration: ChatGPT, StackOverflow, or your friend!
