Help me prepare for my interview at Stripe on ThursdayWhat Claude gathers
- The basics. Company, role, date and interviewer. If your calendar is connected to Claude, it reads the event for the time and attendees. It only asks for what's still missing.
- Company research. CareerMax researches the company and role: what they do, culture, recent news, the interview process and likely questions. This uses 5 credits. Claude mentions the cost before it runs, and a retry isn't charged twice.
- Your stories. Claude reads your Storybank and, if you applied through CareerMax, the job posting.
- Your interviewer. If you share a name, Claude can look up their public professional background. Nothing personal.
Your brief
It fits on one screen:
- The company in 60 seconds: what they do, their stage and recent news that matters for this role.
- What they'll probe: three themes from the job and the research.
- Likely questions: six to eight, each paired with your best story by title, or "No story yet" where you have a gap.
- Your angles: three places where your background is a strong match.
- Ask them: three sharp questions tied to the research.
- Logistics: time, format and people, when known.
Then Claude offers one next step: build a missing story, or tighten an answer together.
Build my Storybank
Claude asks about moments from your past work and turns your answers into STAR stories saved to CareerMax, ready for applications and interviews. It collects stories; it isn't a mock interview.
Credits
What uses CareerMax credits when you work from Claude: 1 per application, 1 per contact search or outreach company (free when nobody is found) and 5 per company research.
