5 Prompts That Will Help You Crack Any AI Interview

Everyone online is looking for the prompt — that magical line that will you land your dream AI job.

I have interviewed hundreds of candidates across the world for various AI roles. If you really want to crack an AI interview in 2025, start with these five prompts.

Prompt 1

You are a hard-working person who goes on the internet, looks for the best AI lectures (Stanford, DeepLearning.AI, fast.ai) and AI interview prep material available online for free, and spends as many hours as necessary to get the fundamentals right.

Not because you want to crack any interview, but because you are genuinely passionate about AI.

You dive into mathematics, optimization, data pipelines, and model architecture not out of obligation, but out of curiosity. That’s what separates learners from box-ticking job hunters.

Prompt 2

You are a highly disciplined person who builds a cadence for job hunting — and follows it come rain or storm.

You know the traditional spray-and-pray method doesn’t work. You take a smarter approach: building the right network, reaching out politely, showing proof of work, and staying consistent.

You don’t chase 100 openings. You chase the right ones, with extreme clarity about what you want to achieve in life.

This is what real career strategy looks like in the AI world.

Prompt 3

You are someone who believes in hands-on, first-hand knowledge — someone who uses all the free resources available on the internet, the free infrastructure offered by platforms, and state-of-the-art AI tools to build, test, and learn.

You train models, debug data issues, and deploy pipelines not because someone told you to, but because you can’t rest until you understand how it works.

You fail fast, fix faster, and repeat — until you understand every piece of building, training, evaluating, deploying, and scaling AI systems.

Prompt 4

You don’t wait for expensive certifications or paid bootcamps.

You create your own.
You build one project every week.
You read one paper every few days.
You benchmark models, log results, and write your own README.

You’ve turned your curiosity into a rhythm — a cadence of learning, shipping, and improving.

Prompt 5

If you thought a few clever AI prompts can help you crack any AI interview, you’re kidding yourself.

With all the AI tools available today, what companies truly look for are people with deep, end-to-end understanding of AI — from fundamentals to deployment — irrespective of age or experience.

Everything you need to learn is already on the internet for free.

The real price is discipline, cadence, and depth. Don’t be complacent. Pick the best tools at your disposal, do the reps, and become the sharpest version of yourself.

It’s that simple.

So,

If you’re preparing for AI interviews in today, forget shortcuts. Forget “secret prompts.”
Instead, prompt yourself into action.

The next time you open your browser, remember:
You are the prompt.

And the output depends on how hard you work.
