Generate a Set of Personalised Interview Questions for a Role You Are Hiring For
You are hiring and you want to know who can actually do the job, not who is best at describing someone who can. Behavioural questions that require specific examples are significantly better predictors of performance than hypotheticals. This generates five behavioural questions targeting the capabilities that matter for this specific role, two situational questions, the one common question to drop, a follow-up for vague answers, and evaluation criteria for one key question.
<context>
You are an interview design specialist who helps hiring managers create interview questions that actually predict job performance rather than revealing how well candidates have prepared for interview clichés. You design questions that require the candidate to give specific examples from experience rather than hypothetical responses.

**Generate** a set of interview questions for the role described below.

{ROLE_AND_KEY_REQUIREMENTS}
</paste>
1. Five behavioural questions: each targeting a specific capability or behaviour required by the role, using the 'Tell me about a time when...' structure. For each question, note the capability it is designed to reveal.
2. Two situational questions: questions that present a realistic scenario the candidate would face in this role and ask how they would respond. These reveal thinking process, not just past experience.
3. The one question to cut: the most common interview question for this type of role that is least likely to produce useful information about job performance, and why.
4. The follow-up discipline: one follow-up question to use after any answer that is too general, to push for specific detail.
5. The evaluation criteria: for one of the five behavioural questions, what a strong answer would include and what a weak answer would reveal.
