The Foundation: What is a Prompt?
A prompt is the instruction for your AI avatar. The clearer you define who the avatar is and what it should look for, the better the result.
Rule 1: Give the Avatar an Identity
Instead of "Ask questions about Java", write: "You are a Senior Software Architect with 15 years of experience. Test the depth of the candidate's knowledge regarding microservices."
Rule 2: Define the Goal of the Conversation
Do you want to check technical depth or cultural fit? Tell the avatar what to focus on.
Example of a Strong Prompt:
"Act like an experienced team lead. Be friendly but follow up critically if answers remain too superficial. Your goal is to find out if the candidate can solve problems independently."
