Step by step
- 1
Feed it the role
Paste the job description and your resume so the questions and feedback are specific to this job, not generic.
- 2
Generate the likely questions
Ask for the most probable behavioral and role-specific questions, ranked by likelihood, plus any tough ones for your background.
- 3
Rehearse out loud, then get critique
Answer each question aloud, paste or speak your answer, and ask the AI to critique it on structure, specificity and length.
- 4
Structure answers with STAR
Ask the AI to reshape your best stories into Situation, Task, Action, Result so they land clearly under pressure.
- 5
Prepare your questions and company facts
Have the AI research the company and draft three intelligent questions for you to ask the interviewer.
03 · Use this now
Copy-paste prompt for a mock interview
You are an experienced interviewer for this role. Job description: [paste]. My background: [paste resume or summary]. Ask me the interview questions one at a time, starting with the most likely. After each answer I give, critique it on structure (did I use STAR?), specificity (real examples and numbers?) and length, then ask the next question. Begin with the first question now.
04 · Avoid these
Common mistakes
- Memorizing AI answers word for word. Rehearsed scripts sound robotic; practice the points, not the exact wording.
- Practicing generic questions with no job description, so the prep does not match the real interview.
- Trusting AI company 'facts' without checking. Verify names, numbers and recent news from a real source before quoting them.

Frequently asked questions
Can AI help me prepare for an interview?
Yes. It is excellent at predicting likely questions from the job description, running unlimited mock interviews, critiquing your answers, and researching the company so you walk in prepared.
Should I use AI live during an interview?
No. Using AI to feed you answers during a live interview is risky and easy to detect, especially on video calls. Use AI only to prepare beforehand.
What is the STAR method AI keeps mentioning?
STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, Result. It is a structure for behavioral answers: set the scene, say what you had to do, what you did, and the outcome. AI can reshape your stories into this format.
