Most interview preparation fails in the same way: people read a list of questions, nod along, and never say an answer out loud. The gap between knowing roughly what you would say and actually saying it under mild pressure is where interviews are lost. Generating questions for your specific role removes the excuse of not knowing what to practise.
How to get more out of each question
Answer out loud rather than in your head, and time yourself. Most strong answers land between one and two minutes, and hearing yourself run past three is the fastest way to notice you are rambling.
For anything that starts with "tell me about a time", use a simple structure: the situation, what you specifically did, and how it turned out. The part people skip is the outcome, which is usually the only part the interviewer is scoring.
Prepare a small set of stories, not a script
You do not need a different story for every question. Four or five real examples from your work, covering a difficult problem, a conflict, something you led, and something that went wrong, will cover the majority of behavioural questions between them. Learn the examples, not the wording, because a memorised script sounds like one.
What to do with the questions you cannot answer
Those are the useful ones. If a question exposes a gap, that gap exists whether or not you practise, and the interviewer will find it. Write a short honest answer for it now, including what you would do to close the gap, rather than hoping it does not come up.
