In this episode, I'm taking a hands-on look at three strategic ways to use NotebookLM to prepare for your next job interview. I'll walk you through each step, share real examples of AI-generated interview materials I've created, and even play a quick samples so you can hear what's possible.

NotebookLM is a free AI tool that can help you turn job descriptions, company research, and your resume into personalized interview prep.

I've included the link to NotebookLM below, along with the exact prompt I used to generate an audio interview summary that helped me prepare for one of my own interviews.

• NotebookLM Website: https://notebooklm.google/

• Prompt for audio overview: "Make this an audio overview of how {your name} is the perfect fit for the {Role title at company name} based on her background and work examples."
• Prompt for video overview (select "Explainer" and "Whiteboard"): "Frame the content as a guide for acing a {job title at company name} interview."

I hope this episode saves you time, helps you prepare smarter, and gives you the confidence boost of hearing an AI audio overview all about why you're an absolute baddie for the job.

Good luck, girl!

Lyrics:

This is your good luck song.

Just wanted you to know.

I believe in you because you're amazing

at everything you do.

This is your good luck song

because you deserve to know.

We're all cheering you on.

Whatever you put your mind to, amazing things unfold.

Walk into that job interview, you've done so much to get this far

Now it's time to let them see the very best of you.

This is your good luck song.

Because you're a star.

You worked so hard to come this far.

You deserve to win it all.

So if it's a job interview or a big next meeting,

Go show them exactly who you are.

We know you're going to go so far.

This is your good luck song.

You're a badass, don't you forget.

You've earned this chance, now go and get it.

They'll be lucky if they get you on their team.

Everything you've lived through has led to this dream.

Don't waste a second worrying what they might see.

You already know exactly who you're meant to be.

Now walk in with confidence from the very start.

It's time to show them the star you already are.

This is your good luck song.

In 2026, it's hard to find a job interview where AI doesn't come up. No matter your industry, employers want to know how you're using AI and how you're adapting to this new way of working.

In this episode, I'll walk you through three of the most common AI-related interview questions you're likely to be asked, along with practical examples and best practices for answering them. I'll cover how to talk about the AI tools you use and why you choose them, how to share an AI project using the STAR method, and how to show employers that you're staying on top of the latest AI developments.

These tips come from both my experience working at AI companies and my own recent job search, where I saw these questions come up again and again.

The AI era is here, and knowing how to talk about your AI skills could be what gets you hired over other candidates. Tune in before your next interview!
