About this skill

About Mock interviewer

Reading interview questions isn't the same as answering them under pressure, and there's often nobody to practise with. This skill runs a live mock interview for your role and round — screening, technical, case or behavioural — asking one question at a time and waiting for your answer. After each, it scores you out of five with one strength and one improvement, and asks realistic follow-ups when you're vague. After five questions you get a summary of what to practise. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the role, company type, interview round (screening, technical, case, behavioural) and your experience level; the reply opens with “One question per turn”.
