Tips and Suggestions:
How did you prepare?
- Use gpt. My god I cannot stress on this enough.
- Feed in your profile and details in a gpt chat.
- Feed in a bunch of experiences (questionairres along with location & other details) from recent interviews (from telegram or wherever)
- I fed in about 50 questionairres from various sources. And a few nasty questions I could find.
- Definity include at least 20% visa-refusal interviews.
- Get into the audio conversation mode on the mobile app (after navigating to the same chat)
- Ask gpt to run you through mock interviews, ideal question and answers for you, you can request gpt to ammend the tone brevity, etc.
- I asked gpt to try & keep the answers to one liners and as succinct as possible.
- You can ask gpt to conduct easy, moderate & difficult mocks to practice.
- I've practiced about 25 mocks, just keep practicing, and ask gpt to pose the questions in different ways.
- I'm sure other people are doing this as well, this is just my 2 cents.
