Interview Prep App

AI-powered interview preparation. Paste any job description + resume, pick an LLM, and get a personalised prep pack: skills bridges, STAR stories, a visual concept map, and mock interview questions. Sessions save in your browser.

Quick Start

1. Clone or download this repo
2. Open interview-prep-app.html directly in Chrome or Firefox — no server needed
3. Click ⚙ Settings → choose a provider → paste your API key → Save
4. Paste a job description + your resume → Analyze Role → answer clarifying questions → Generate Prep

LLM Providers

Provider	API Key	Notes
Gemini	Yes	Free tier (15 req/min). Recommended for getting started.
OpenAI	Yes	Paid. gpt-4o-mini is cheapest (~$0.01/session).
Mistral	Yes	Paid. Fast.
Ollama	No	Local. Run ollama serve first.
Claude	Yes	Needs proxy.js running (see below).
LM Studio	No	Local. Start the LM Studio server, paste the API Model Identifier.

Persist Your API Key (optional)

Copy config.js.example → config.js, fill in your key, and place it next to interview-prep-app.html:

window.PREP_CONFIG = {
  provider: 'gemini',
  apiKey:   'YOUR_KEY_HERE',
  model:    'gemini-2.0-flash',
};

The app loads it automatically on startup — no need to re-enter the key in Settings.

⚠️ config.js is in .gitignore — never commit it.

Claude Provider

The Anthropic API blocks direct browser requests. Run the included CORS proxy (no npm install needed):

node proxy.js

Then set provider to Claude in Settings. The proxy listens on localhost:3001.

Rebuild from Source

The HTML is assembled from 7 part files (p1_head_css.txt → p7_js_finish.txt). To edit and rebuild:

python build_app.py

Output: interview-prep-app.html (~122 KB, fully self-contained single file).
