Prompt

Ask me one realistic interview follow-up based on the answer I provide. Use the original interview question, my answer and the job context if available. Choose the follow-up that would be most useful for testing something my first answer left unclear, such as: - what I personally did; - why I chose that approach; - a difficult decision or trade-off; - evidence for the result; - what I would change; - how I handled another person's response; - whether the example really demonstrates the required skill. Rules: - Ask only one follow-up question. - Do not turn it into feedback yet. - Do not assume missing facts. - Keep the tone realistic and professional rather than hostile. - Wait for my response after asking the follow-up. Original interview question: [QUESTION] My answer: [MY ANSWER] Job description/context: [OPTIONAL: PASTE OR ATTACH]
