Your first mock interview
A full session is ten questions and takes about thirty minutes. Here's what to expect so nothing surprises you mid-interview.
Before you start
- Run the mic check on your dashboard — the session is voice-first, so sort any microphone issues before the questions start.
- Make sure your CV is uploaded and the job advert is saved on the Practice page. Your questions are generated from both.
- Find a quiet spot. You'll be speaking your answers out loud, just like the real interview.
During the session
- Each question is read aloud to you, then you get thinking time (about ten seconds) before the microphone opens — use it the way you would a real interviewer's pause.
- Answers can run up to three minutes each. You don't need to fill the time; a tight two-minute answer usually scores better than a rambling three-minute one.
- If life interrupts, don't panic — your progress is kept and the session can be resumed.
After you finish
Your answers are transcribed and scored, and your report is generated — you'll get an email when it's ready, and it appears on your dashboard. Each answer gets a score and specific feedback, and the session rolls up into a readiness score out of 100. From there, head to understanding your report to turn the feedback into better answers.
Fair-use notes
Each package includes a set number of full mock interviews, and there's a daily session cap (one or two sessions per day depending on your package) — spaced practice beats cramming, and it keeps the service reliable for everyone.
