Each track has 3 experience levels (Junior, Mid, Senior) with role-specific questions and model answers.

Interview Practice

Mock Interviews are focused practice sessions where you answer 3-5 questions on specific topics and receive instant AI feedback. Full Simulations replicate a complete 45-minute interview experience with 5 sections: introduction, technical questions, scenario-based problems, behavioral questions, and closing (where you ask questions). Simulations give you the closest experience to a real interview.

Interview Loops simulate the multi-round interview process used by top tech companies like Google, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft. Each loop includes multiple rounds such as phone screen, technical coding, system design, behavioral, and hiring manager interviews. You receive scores for each round and an overall assessment, just like in a real interview process.

Our AI analyzes your answers in real-time, comparing them against model answers and industry best practices. You receive feedback on content coverage, structure, clarity, and specific suggestions for improvement. For voice interviews, you also get delivery feedback on pace, filler words, clarity, and fluency.

Free users can practice with text-based interviews and use the public English Career Readiness Score. Pro and Bootcamp users get access to voice interviews where you speak your answers naturally. Your speech is transcribed in real-time, and you receive additional feedback on pace, filler words, clarity, and structure. Voice practice is the closest experience to a real interview or career conversation.

Our question bank contains over 900 real interview questions collected from actual IT job interviews at companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500. Questions are categorized by role, difficulty level (easy, medium, hard), and type (technical, behavioral, scenario). We regularly update our database to reflect current industry trends and hiring practices.

Behavioral Preparation

STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, Result - the gold standard framework for answering behavioral interview questions. Our platform provides STAR guidance for every behavioral question, showing you exactly what to include in each section. Pro users can build a personal Stories Bank where they save their STAR stories and tag them to relevant competencies.

Yes! We have dedicated training for all 16 Amazon Leadership Principles, plus behavioral competencies used by other top tech companies. Each principle includes multiple practice questions, example answers, red flags to avoid, and green flags that interviewers look for. This preparation is essential for anyone interviewing at Amazon or companies with similar values-based interviews.

The Stories Bank is your personal library of STAR stories. Instead of thinking of examples on the spot during interviews, you prepare polished stories in advance. Each story can be tagged to multiple competencies (e.g., 'Led team migration' can apply to Leadership, Technical Decision Making, and Delivering Results). During practice, we suggest which of your stories best fits each question.

Career Tools

Upload your CV (PDF or paste text) along with a target job description. Our AI analyzes your CV for ATS optimization, identifies missing keywords with importance levels, rewrites weak bullet points to be more impactful, suggests structural improvements, and generates an improved version of your CV. You can download the optimized CV as a PDF.

Interview Loops simulate the multi-round interview process used by top tech companies like Google, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft. Each loop includes multiple rounds such as phone screen, technical, system design, behavioral, and hiring manager interviews. You receive scores for each round and an overall assessment, replicating the real experience of interviewing at a top company.

Yes! Pro users can generate shareable links for their mock interview and simulation results. These links are perfect for showing mentors, career coaches, or friends your progress. Shared results include your answers, AI feedback, and scores. Links expire after 6 months for privacy.

Voice Features

In voice mode, interview questions are read aloud using natural text-to-speech. You respond by speaking into your microphone. Your speech is transcribed in real-time, and you receive the same detailed feedback as text mode, plus additional analysis of your pronunciation, speaking pace, and verbal clarity.

Delivery feedback evaluates spoken English for professional communication. You receive specific feedback on speaking pace, filler words, clarity, answer structure, and overall fluency. This helps non-native speakers and any professional who wants to sound clearer and more confident in English.

We offer multiple interviewer voices with different accents (American, British, Indian) and personas (calm, professional, strict, friendly, energetic). You can preview voices before selecting and change your preference anytime. Different voices help you prepare for the variety of interviewers you might encounter.
