Did it answer the question
The most common failure, and the least noticed by the person failing. A good answer to the question next door still loses the round.
AI mock interview
A mock interview for this job, not for interviews in general.
It reads the job description, asks what that description invites, listens to your answer, and tells you what was missing from it. No interviewer to book, no favour to call in, and available at eleven at night when you finally have the time.
2 credits per practice question, including the scoring and the feedback.
How a mock session runs
Four steps, then as many repeats as you need
Give it the job
The real description, pasted in or picked from your library. The closer it is to the actual posting, the closer the questions land.
It asks
One question at a time, in the shape an interviewer would ask it — including the follow-up when your answer leaves an obvious one.
You answer
Typed or spoken. Spoken is harder and is the one that tells you something.
It marks it
A score, and the specific thing that was missing — a number, a trade-off, a result, a reason.
The marking
What it is actually looking for
These are the four places answers fail in real rounds, in roughly the order they fail.
Is it specific enough to check
“We improved results” is a claim. “We took the team from 71% of quota to 104% in two quarters by changing who owned renewals” is an answer. The second invites a good follow-up; the first invites a sceptical one.
Does the structure survive being spoken
Ninety seconds of circling before the point is a structure problem, not a knowledge problem. Scored separately, because the fix is different.
Is it your experience
Checked against your CV. Textbook best practice phrased in the first person is the answer an interviewer probes until it comes apart.
Mock and live
The same context. Deliberately different behaviour.
A practice session that helps you answer is not practice. These are two modes, and they do not share a button.
| Behaviour | Mock interview | Live interview |
|---|---|---|
| Who asks | It does, from the job description | The interviewer, on the call |
| Who answers | You, unaided | You, with a suggested answer on screen |
| What you get back | A score and what was missing | An answer to say, in one to three seconds |
| Where it runs | In the browser | Browser or the Windows app |
| Afterwards | Every answer, every score, and the pattern across attempts | Transcript, questions asked, notes on what to revise |
Getting value from it
The second attempt is the whole point
A mock interview you do once is a diagnostic. It only becomes practice when you go back to the answers that scored badly.
Do the weak three again
Not the whole set. The strong answers cost time and teach nothing; the weak ones are where the next round will be lost.
Change one thing at a time
Add the number, or fix the structure, or cut thirty seconds. Changing all three at once leaves you not knowing which one worked.
Keep the question list
Practice questions and real ones end up in the same place, which over a few interviews becomes an honest picture of what you get asked. The practice loop →
Questions
About mock interviews
Where do the questions come from?
From the job description you give it, read against your CV. A description that asks for territory planning and enterprise renewals produces questions about territory planning and enterprise renewals, including the follow-ups — which is why it is worth pasting the real description rather than a role title.
How is an answer scored?
On whether it actually answers the question, whether it is specific enough to be checkable, whether the structure holds up when spoken, and whether it uses the experience your CV says you have. The number matters less than the sentence next to it, which says what was missing.
Do I type my answers or say them?
Either. Typing is quicker and fine for finding out whether you have the material. Saying it out loud is the one that finds out whether you can deliver it, and it is the only version that predicts how the real round will go.
Is a mock interview with AI as good as one with a person?
No, and it is not trying to be. A person reads your hesitation, pushes where you are vague and knows the company. What this does better is availability and volume: it is there at eleven at night, it never gets bored of the fourth attempt at the same answer, and it does not run out of patience before you run out of weak answers. Use it for the reps and a person for the dress rehearsal.
What does a mock interview cost?
Credits, the same as anything else, and only for the work: a question, a scored answer and the feedback on it. Listening is free. Nothing is charged for a session you set up and never run.
Can I mock the same job description twice?
Yes, and you should. The second run is where the value is — the questions vary, your weak answers are the ones worth repeating, and the comparison between attempts is the only honest measure of whether the practice did anything.
