Skill signals

What this Prompt Engineer pre-employment test helps you evaluate

Measure practical prompt-engineering capability through role-relevant prompt tasks, LLM behaviour scenarios, tool-use workflows, evaluation exercises, and structured reports.

01

Prompting fundamentals

LLM basics, token limits, temperature, top-p, stop sequences, system prompts, roles, instruction hierarchy, and prompt constraints.

02

Prompt design

Zero-shot, one-shot, few-shot, chain-of-thought strategy, ReAct, self-consistency, output formatting, templates, and structured prompts.

03

Context engineering

Context-window management, memory, summarisation, retrieval context, prompt compression, information ordering, and context optimisation.

04

LLM behaviour

Hallucination, bias, robustness, instruction following, refusal behaviour, alignment, reasoning limits, and response control.

05

Tool use & AI agents

Function calling, APIs, tools, agent loops, planning, memory, orchestration, multi-step workflows, retries, and failure handling.

06

Evaluation & testing

Prompt benchmarks, human evaluation, A/B testing, regression testing, quality metrics, test cases, cost, latency, and optimisation.

07

Safety & guardrails

Prompt injection, jailbreak resistance, content filters, PII protection, permissions, policy enforcement, red teaming, and responsible AI.

08

Best practices

Prompt libraries, versioning, documentation, observability, reusable patterns, experiments, monitoring, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
