Using AI for Interview Prep

Last week's post about my recent CEO job search turned into the most-read post I have ever published. Several people who are actively searching reached out to let me know they appreciated my sharing the reality of a current search.

So, this week, I thought it might be helpful to share some of the new things I tried over the last year that made the process easier and more effective. I am starting with the one that didn't even exist as an option in my prior searches, using AI to help with interview prep.

I already knew practice helps me when prepping for any sort of public speaking. I do better when I rehearse my opening "tell me about yourself" and when I work my way through common questions out loud. I also knew my biggest barrier to improving oral presentations was that I hate watching myself on video. I can do it, but it is painful and triggers a spiral of self-critique that is not useful. I nitpick myself to death. I end up less confident instead of more prepared.
