Your prompt

Build a spoken answer to 'Tell me about yourself' for a job interview. Use only the facts below and invent nothing.

Role I am interviewing for: {{target_role}}
Present (what I do now): {{present}}
Past (two or three experiences that matter for this role): {{past}}
Future (why this role fits my goals): {{future}}

If a part is missing or vague, ask me one question before drafting. Write a script in three parts: present, past, future. Aim for 110 to 130 words in total. Show the word count of each part and the sum. Estimate the speaking time as words divided by 130, times 60, in seconds, and show the arithmetic. State that 130 words a minute is an assumption and that I should time myself aloud. Then write a 30-second version with the same checks. Use plain spoken sentences. Do not add job titles, numbers, achievements or enthusiasm that I did not supply. Flag any phrase I would need to prove, and list two follow-up questions an interviewer might ask about the answer.

Example result

Example inputs: junior bookkeeper role; present: finishing an accounting diploma; past: two years doing the books for a family cafe (weekly invoices, monthly bank checks); future: wants to join a small firm. Illustrative example; not tested on the listed platform. 30-second version: 'I am finishing an accounting diploma. Before that, I spent two years doing the books for my family's cafe, including weekly invoices and monthly bank checks. I would like to bring that hands-on experience to a small firm like yours.' Word count: 40 (present 6, past 20, future 14). Time: 40 / 130 x 60 = about 18 seconds, assuming 130 words a minute; time yourself aloud. Flag: 'weekly invoices and monthly bank checks' must match what you really did. No numbers were added.
