Interview questions based on the job description you're applying to.
You have the posting open and an interview on the calendar, and what you want to know is what they'll actually ask. A list of common questions won't tell you, because it was written for nobody in particular. CVMagnet's interview prep, a Pro feature, writes interview questions based on the job description and the resume you sent, each with a suggested answer drawn from your own experience.
Interview questions based on the job description, not the job title
The prep sheet holds ten to twelve questions, each written from one specific posting and the resume you sent. It doesn't work from a job title. Two postings with the same title get different questions, because they ask for different things.
There's no padding with the stock behavioural questions an interviewer would ask anyone. Each question comes from this posting and your resume.
Some questions test what you've done, some how, and some what you haven't
Fit
Something the posting asks for that your resume already shows.
Depth
A follow-up on a named tool or method. It asks how you used it, not whether you have.
Gap
Something the posting asks for that your resume doesn't show.
Questions arrive in the order they're likely to come up
Openers come first and harder probes after, so you can rehearse in the order the conversation will probably run. Each question carries one sentence on why it's likely to be asked, so you know what the interviewer is after before you read the answer.
The keywords your resume missed are where they'll push
The sheet is built from your tailored resume, the version you sent, and from the keywords the match found missing, because those are the topics an interviewer is most likely to push on.
Interview prep from your resume, with every answer traceable to it
Each suggested answer runs about 60 to 120 words and is written in your voice. Under it you'll see the roles and bullets from your resume it's built on, so you can check it against your own document.
Gap answers follow a set shape. They name the nearest related thing you've done, say plainly what you haven't, and end on how you'd get up to speed. They never coach you to imply experience you don't have.

Frequently asked.
Is CVMagnet a likely interview questions generator or a mock interview?
It generates the likely questions, but it isn't a mock interview. You get a written prep sheet to read and rehearse from: the likely questions, why each is coming, and a suggested answer you can adapt. There's no live practice and no voice feature.
Does the prep sheet use up one of my tailored resumes?
No. A prep sheet belongs to a match you've already run, so opening it doesn't count against your monthly tailored resumes. Pro, which includes interview prep, also lifts that monthly limit.
Can I get a refund on Pro if the prep sheet isn't useful?
Pro comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee: ask within 7 days of your first payment and you get a full refund. That's time to tailor a resume, open the prep sheet for that match, and decide whether the questions and answers are worth paying for.
