I sent my client a research dossier for a company she’d be interviewing with next week.
“Thank you so much for sending this research 😄 all great stuff and then some that I didn’t know.”
The best part? This took me two prompts.
Total time: maybe 10 minutes.
Most people spend hours digging through company websites, press releases, and LinkedIn profiles before interviews. They burn out before they even get to the good stuff.
But AI can do the heavy lifting for you.
🎯 Prompt #1: Perplexity
✍️ Copy this exactly:
“For [Company website] do research to help me prep an interview for a [Job title] role”
Perplexity will pull recent news, company updates, and industry context you’d never find manually.
🤖 Prompt #2: Clay in ChatGPT
This is new.
Clay partnered with ChatGPT, so you can call their research tools directly.
Create a free Clay account first.
✍️ Then use this in ChatGPT:
@clay tell me about [Company website] do research to help me prep an interview for a [Job title] role
Clay will surface company data, team insights, and competitive landscape details that give you an edge.
(Plus you’ll get bonus credit when you connect Clay with your ChatGPT account.)
I used both for my client’s fintech interview. Within minutes, I had their recent funding round, key executives, product roadmap, and three specific challenges they’re facing.
She walked into that interview knowing more about their business than some employees.
