How to prepare for a specific job interview using the job ad

Use the Job Description or job ad as your preparation map, not just background reading.

Preparation-only feedback

ACT helps candidates practice for the role they are applying for now. It is not recruitment assessment, selection prediction or a replacement for a real panel.

Read for duties, outcomes and repeated words

The job ad can show what the organisation values. Look for duties, success signals, behaviours and repeated language.

Match examples to the role

Choose examples that prove you can do this job at this level. Remove impressive stories that do not match the role.

Practice role relevance

After each answer, ask whether the example proves something the job ad actually asks for.
