Who will I be talking to?
Dana Whitfield. The AI plays a realistic counterpart who stays in character for the whole conversation, asks one question at a time, and pushes back when your answers are vague. It never coaches you mid-conversation; feedback comes at the end.
What is the goal of this scenario?
Answer each question with a specific, structured story (situation, task, action, result) in under two minutes, and handle follow-up probes with concrete detail instead of generalities.
What will the AI ask me?
It opens with: Thanks for making the time today. I'd like to hear about how you work in practice, so I'll ask for real examples. To start: tell me about a time you disagreed with your manager on a technical or product decision. What happened?
From there it follows your answers with realistic follow-ups, so no two runs are the same. The conversation lasts up to 12 of your turns, or you can end it early to get scored.
How is my score calculated?
You get a score out of 10 for each of these criteria, and an overall score weighted as shown. Each criterion comes with a one-line note on what you did and what to change.
-
Structure 25%
Answers follow a clear situation → action → result arc and stay under about two minutes.
-
Specificity 30%
Uses concrete details, names the actual actions the candidate personally took, and quantifies outcomes where possible.
-
Self-awareness 20%
Owns mistakes honestly and articulates what they learned or would change.
-
Handling probes 15%
Responds to follow-up questions directly without restating the original answer.
-
Communication 10%
Clear, calm, professional tone with no filler or defensiveness.
How hard is it?
Difficulty 3 of 5 (realistic). Expect the kind of pushback a real professional would give. After your first run you can retry at a harder level.
Do I need an account?
No. You can run one free session a day without signing up and see your overall score. A free account unlocks full coaching notes, five scored sessions a month, history, and shareable results.
People also ask
How do I practice for a job interview by myself?
Pick an interview scenario, answer each question out loud or by typing as if it were real, and read the scored feedback at the end. Repeat the same scenario at a harder difficulty until your answers are specific and under two minutes.
What is the STAR method and does the AI check for it?
STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, Result. The rubric on most interview scenarios rewards answers that follow that arc, name what you personally did, and state a measurable outcome.
How many practice interviews should I do before the real one?
Most people see clear gains after three to five sessions. Spread them over a few days so you can act on the feedback between runs rather than repeating the same mistakes.
Will the AI interviewer ask follow-up questions?
Yes. The persona probes vague answers the way a real interviewer does, asking what exactly you did and what happened. Higher difficulty levels push harder and interrupt rambling.
Is AI interview practice free?
You can run one free interview session a day without an account. A free account gives five scored sessions a month, and paid plans unlock more sessions and deeper feedback.
