## Messages to send Mindie
- The night before: "Remind me tomorrow at 8pm to prep for my interview with Calder & Finch"
- Time to leave: "Remind me on Friday at 9:15am to leave for my 10am interview at 400 Market Street"
- For interviewers: "Remind me at 1:45pm today to read Jake's CV before his 2pm interview"

A job interview reminder on WhatsApp is a message the night before to prepare, and another on the day to leave or log in on time. With Mindie you set both in plain words: "remind me tomorrow at 8pm to prep for my interview with Calder & Finch". The reminder lands in your chat with the details you gave it.

Interviews are high stakes and easy to fumble on logistics. The wrong time zone, a forgotten link or a late bus can undo weeks of applying.

## When to be reminded

- **The evening before,** to review the job description and your answers.
- **When it's time to leave,** with travel time included.
- **Ten minutes before a video call,** to test your camera and find a quiet room.

## Why interviews go wrong

- **Times are mixed up.** Especially across time zones.
- **Prep gets squeezed.** A busy day leaves no time to read up on the company.
- **The follow-up is forgotten.** No thank-you email, no note of what was said.

## Habits that help

- **Put the link or address in the reminder** so you're not searching for it at the last minute.
- **Save your stories as notes.** Three examples you want to use, ready to ask for.
- **Set the follow-up right after.** A thank-you the next morning, and a check-in a week later.

## How Mindie handles it

1. **Send the interview time** and any prep or leaving reminders you want.
2. **Mindie confirms** each one in your timezone.
3. **It messages you** at each time with the details.

If you interview people, set a reminder to read each CV before the slot, and a note for your feedback after.

## What Mindie doesn't do

- **It doesn't schedule interviews or message employers or candidates.**
- **It doesn't join or record calls.**
- **It only messages you,** in your own chat.

## FAQ

### Can I add the address or video link to the reminder?
Yes. Put it in the same message and Mindie includes it when it reminds you.

### Can I save my interview answers as a note?
Yes. Send them as a note, or a voice note, and ask for them before the interview.

### Will Mindie remind me to send a thank-you note after?
Yes, if you ask. Send "remind me tomorrow at 10am to email a thank-you to Sarah" and it will.

### How many reminders should I set?
A useful set is one the night before to prepare, one when it's time to leave or log in, and one the next day to follow up.

### Can I set it from the invite?
Yes. Send a screenshot, and Mindie reads the date and time and checks them with you before setting the reminder.
