Generate a Set of Interview Questions for a Specific Role
The interview is tomorrow and your plan is to wing it from the job advert. This builds eight to twelve questions matched to the role and your must-have competencies, covering technical ability and behaviour, and fitting the time you have. For hiring managers who want to assess the candidate properly instead of having a pleasant chat that proves nothing.

**Generate an interview question set by:**
1. Producing eight to twelve questions covering technical competence, behavioural indicators, and cultural fit
2. Labelling each question by type: competency-based, situational, technical, or motivational
3. Including two to three follow-up probes for the most important competency areas
4. Adding one question designed to reveal how the candidate thinks under ambiguity
5. Including one question the hiring manager should ask themselves before using: is this actually predicting performance or just screening for familiarity?
Avoid questions that are legally problematic in the UK context and flag any that are close to the line.
