  • Role-specific practice — questions tuned to the saved role you're prepping for
  • Speech feedback on pacing, filler words, and structure
  • Story mapping converts career moments into reusable STAR proof bullets

Three steps from preference to approval

Every step is approval-gated. Nothing exports, sends, or applies on your behalf without an explicit confirmation.

01

Pick a role and mode

Choose a saved role and a mode: behavioral, technical, executive screen, or culture-fit. The Interview Coach agent loads the question bank for that combination.

02

Practice with feedback

Answer out loud or in text. The agent scores structure, proof depth, pacing, and filler words — and offers a tightened version of your answer for comparison.

Common questions about this feature

Does the AI listen to my voice?

Yes — voice answers run through speech-to-text and the resulting transcript is scored. Audio is processed for transcription and feedback only, never stored beyond the session unless you explicitly save it for review.

How is this different from generic mock interview tools?

Generic tools ask the same questions to everyone. We tune the question bank to the saved role, score against your proof bank, and feed strong answers back into your story bank where they're reused on resume and cover letter workflows.

Can I practice technical interviews?

Yes — there's a technical drill-down variant. It's strongest for system design and behavioral-technical hybrids, weakest for live-coding which we recommend you practice in dedicated tools.

What does 'story mapping' mean?

We turn strong interview answers into STAR-format proof bullets (Situation, Task, Action, Result) that get saved to your proof bank. From there, the Resume Tailor and Application Pack Writer can reuse them automatically.

Do I need a microphone?

No — text answers work fine. Voice unlocks the speech feedback layer (pacing, filler words), but every other layer of the practice module works in text-only mode.
