PM Career Desk

Records the person's answer to the current question of a mock interview and checks its structure with the rules of check_interview_answer. Returns a compact verdict and what comes next: a follow-up probe for what the answer does not show (own action, a result in numbers, the figure before, one specific example), or the next question. skip moves on without an answer. An answer in another language is recorded and checked as its literal English translation (text_en) sent with it. Contact details are removed first. Requires sign-in with a PM Career Desk account that has an Interview Coach Pass.

Builds 10 to 15 STAR interview stories (situation, task, action, result) from the resume text of a project, program or product manager: each story uses only the resume's own lines and figures, names the competencies it shows (conflict, risk, vendor management, stakeholder management, influence without authority and others), and lists the questions still open, such as a result without a figure or an action that reads as the team's. Fixed rules, no model. Contact details are removed before the check; the resume is not stored. Requires sign-in with a PM Career Desk account that has an Interview Coach Pass.

Checks the structure of one practice answer to an interview question. Use it when the person writes or pastes an answer and wants feedback before the interview. Checks for a situation, the speaker's own action in the first person, a result, a before and after figure or a named record, vague amounts, length, filler and hedging words, and the balance of we and I; returns the rubric for the question type and what is missing. Needs question_id (from prepare_interview_questions) or question_type (for example conflict, failure, stakeholder, prioritization, measure). With resume_text, figures the resume does not show are marked unconfirmed. It does not judge whether the story is true and does not write the answer. Up to 6000 characters; contact details are removed first; nothing is stored.

Checks the LinkedIn headline and About section (and, optionally, the top experience entry) of a project, program or product manager, TPM or PMO lead. Use it when someone asks to review or improve their LinkedIn profile for recruiters. Checks the 220 character headline limit, the role title and searchable keywords, filler, what About shows before see more, figures and named scope, first person, personal details in public text, and whether the titles agree. Returns up to 10 findings in the order of risk, each with the line, the question a recruiter may ask and a direction, plus a score per section. It does not rewrite the text. English text; contact details are removed first; nothing is stored.

Drafts a 30-60-90 day plan skeleton for one job posting: what to learn in the first 30 days (the stakeholders and systems the posting names, a delivery health check), quick wins by day 60 tied to the problems the posting states, and day 90 goals written as targets for the person to set. Each item names the posting requirement it answers and, where one fits, the person's own resume line. Fixed rules, no model. Contact details are removed before the check; the resume and the posting are not stored. Requires sign-in with a PM Career Desk account that has an Interview Coach Pass.

Matches a job posting to a resume of a project, program or product manager, TPM, PMO lead or business analyst. Use it when someone asks whether they fit a posting, what is missing, or how to tailor their resume to it.

The requirement questions follow those calls. Same inputs as prepare_interview_questions, including interview_stage, interviewer_title, interviewer_profile and draft; every question prepare_interview_questions gives for the same inputs, except its opening questions, is in the plan under the same id.
