Build up on the knowledge and practice you gained with the previous Interview coursework.

1. Have a proper Mock interview using ChatGPT.

2. Make sure you use the STAR Method when answering questions during an interview.

3. Open ChatGPT and write this prompt:

• Please act as an interviewer for a junior web development role. I will be the candidate and you will ask questions for an entry level web developer position at a large UK consultancy. Please do not write out the whole conversation. I want to do the interview as a dialogue. Ask me a question and then wait for my answer. Do not write explanations. If I ask you to translate your question into another language, please do so. Please continue to ask the next question in English. At the end of the interview I will ask for feedback. Please be candid and fair. My first sentence is “Good morning”.
