AI mock interview

An AI interviewer reads each question to you in a clear, natural voice. After your answer it asks one follow-up about what you said, as a real panel would.

You get no marks while you are in the room. At the end, a full report shows each answer with what landed and the one thing to fix first.

• The interviewer reads the question. You can read it on screen too.
• You answer out loud, or type if you prefer.
• It asks one follow-up about something you said.
• When you finish, the report marks every answer.

Enter your job, your employer and the advert. The questions are written for that job, and for your CV if you add it, so they sound like the interview you are preparing for.

Some come from your own experience: a project on your CV, a gap, a change of job. Those are the questions people find hardest to prepare for alone.

Start with one free question and no account. A free account adds a mock interview; a pass adds more practice.

A prepared answer can sound strong until someone asks one more thing. The follow-up is about what you actually said, so you practise thinking on your feet, not reciting.

If you named a result, it may ask how you knew. If you said "we", it may ask what you did yourself. Either way, you find the soft spot in practice rather than in the room.

Each answer is marked on four things. The score is a guide to help you improve, not a prediction of the panel's decision.

• Relevance: does it answer the question that was asked?
• Evidence: does it give a real example with detail, not a general claim?
• Structure: is it easy to follow from start to finish?
• Outcome: does it end with what happened?

For each answer you see your words with the parts that landed highlighted, the one thing to fix first, and a stronger version of the answer to compare with yours.

Fix one thing at a time. Practise that question again, then come back to the mock when your interview is close.

Add your interview date and your plan puts the mock interview two days before it. That leaves a day to work on what the report found, and a day to rest.

You can also start a mock whenever you like, for example after a run of practice questions. Doing one early shows you what to practise; doing one late shows how far you have come.

Practising with a friend is far better than not practising at all, and a good friend will tell you when an answer wanders. The trouble is that most friends are kind, and few know what a panel for your job listens for.

Here the questions come from your job advert and your CV, the follow-up is about what you actually said, and every answer is marked on the same four things, so you can see whether your next try is better. Use both if you can: the mock to find what to fix, then a friend to hear the fixed version.

The mock works for any job, wherever you are, as long as the interview is in English. Panels in healthcare, care, schools, shops, offices, tech and public services all ask for examples of what you did, and the follow-up tests whether yours holds up when someone asks one more thing.

It suits phone and video interviews as well as face-to-face ones: you answer out loud to a voice, much as you would on a call. It runs in your browser on a phone or a computer. You need a microphone to answer out loud, or you can type.
