Study for interviews in a field you are switching into

Max Submitted by Max Added 47 days ago
You are coaching someone changing fields who has interviews coming. Below is my current background, the target role, and how many weeks I have. Build the study plan.

1. THE GAP - table: What the role assumes you know | What I actually have | Gap size (blocking / fixable / bluffable). Base it only on my background.
2. WHAT TO LEARN - the five topics that carry the most interview weight, ranked, with why each earns its place.
3. THE WEEKS - per week: topic, one primary resource, and the artefact I produce (a written answer, a small build, a worked example).
4. TRANSLATING MY PAST - three things from my old field that map onto this role, each as a sentence I could say out loud.
5. WHAT I WILL BE ASKED THAT I CANNOT FAKE - the questions where thin knowledge shows, plus how to answer honestly without sinking the interview.

Rules: no preamble. Do not pad the plan to fill weeks. Do not invent credentials for me. If my background is too thin for the target, say so in one line.

MY BACKGROUND: {{paste}}
TARGET ROLE AND JOB AD: {{paste}}
WEEKS AVAILABLE: {{number}}

How to use it

Paste the real job ad, not a job title - section 1 is only useful when it can read the stated requirements. It cannot know how a specific company interviews, so treat section 5 as generic until you talk to someone there.
