Interview Question Generator
Pick a role family and a question type, choose how many you want, and get a random set of practice interview questions — no two the same in one batch. Each question has a "Show tip" toggle with a one-line pointer on how to structure your answer.
Tailored questions from a job description
Paste a real job description below and a self-hosted, open-source AI model (Llama) running on our own server will write a custom set of interview questions and tips for that specific role, instead of drawing from the static bank further down the page.
AI feature: clicking "Generate tailored questions with AI" sends the exact text you've pasted above to a self-hosted, open-source AI model (Llama) running on our own server, which generates the questions and tips shown here — nothing is forwarded to any third party. That's different from the static generator below, whose question bank runs entirely in your browser and sends nothing anywhere — see its own note underneath for details.
Or use the static question bank
Practice only — a way to rehearse structuring an answer, not a prediction of what a real interviewer will ask, and not professional careers advice. Nothing you select in this static generator is sent anywhere; the question bank and shuffle run entirely in your browser. (The AI box further up the page is different — pasting a job description there sends that text to a self-hosted, open-source AI model (Llama) running on our own server to generate tailored questions.)
Using the STAR method
For behavioural and competency-based questions, the "Show tip" hint follows the STAR structure: describe the Situation briefly, the Task you were responsible for, the Action you specifically took, and the Result — ideally with a number or a lesson learned. For technical and situational questions, the hint instead names what the interviewer is likely testing, so you can aim your answer at that rather than just describing what you'd do.
- How many questions are in the bank?
- Over 160, spread across seven role families and four question types. Picking a specific role still pulls in the general questions that apply to any job, so there's always a wide pool to draw from, and the generator never repeats a question within the same batch.
- What is the STAR method, and where does that framing come from?
- It's a structure for answering behavioural and competency-based interview questions: Situation, Task, Action, Result. It's standard interview-preparation advice rather than a rule — the UK's National Careers Service describes using it "to structure the examples you give to questions, especially in interviews," as well as on a CV or application form.
- Will these be the exact questions I'm asked?
- No. Treat them as prompts for rehearsing how you structure an answer, not a prediction of a specific interview. Real interviewers mix, adapt and follow up on questions in ways a generator can't reproduce, and some processes use structured or panel formats this tool doesn't model.

Method: the static generator on this page is a bank of curated interview questions and one-line tips, held in the page's own code — no external question database or AI is involved in that part. Generating a set is a Fisher-Yates shuffle of the questions matching your chosen role and type, run entirely in your browser; nothing you select there is sent anywhere. The "Tailored questions from a job description" box near the top of the page is a separate, optional feature: it sends the job description text you paste into it to a self-hosted, open-source AI model (Llama) running on our own server, which writes the custom questions and tips shown underneath it — nothing is forwarded to any third party. The STAR-method framing used in the tips is standard interview-preparation practice, not a legal or regulatory requirement.
