AI mock interview simulator

A real interview, simulated. The AI interviewer asks each question out loud, you answer by voice, and you get a rubric-scored breakdown of every answer. No scheduling, no peer needed, no sign-up. Everything but the scoring runs in your browser.

How it works

  1. Pick your role and level

    Choose a role, seniority, and how tough the interviewer should be.

  2. Answer out loud

    The interviewer speaks each question; you reply by voice (or type). Your speech is transcribed live so you can edit before submitting.

  3. Get a real scorecard

    Each answer is scored against the same rubric interviewers use, with specific evidence and what to improve.

Why a simulated interview beats reading questions

Most preparation fails in the same way. You read a list of likely questions, recognise every one, decide you are ready, and then freeze in the room. Recognition is not recall, and neither is the skill being tested. An interviewer is judging whether you can select a relevant example under pressure, say it in a structure somebody can follow, and hold up when they push back on the thin part.

Practising out loud exposes the gap immediately. The first time you answer a question you have not seen, with nothing to read from, you find out that the story you thought was ready takes ninety seconds of throat clearing before it reaches the point, that you never said what the outcome was, and that you cannot remember the number you were going to quote. None of that shows up while you are reading.

That is the whole reason this runs as a session rather than a question bank. Questions arrive one at a time and you do not see the next one, so you cannot prepare ahead. The follow-up depends on what you actually said, which is what real interviewers do when an answer is vague. You get the uncomfortable pause where you have to keep talking, and you get a written verdict at the end pointing at the specific sentences that worked and the ones that did not.

How to get the most out of a session

Run it the way the real thing will run. Speak your answers rather than typing them, keep your notes closed, and let the silence sit rather than restarting a sentence three times. An easy session that flatters you is worth very little, so if the first run feels comfortable, raise how demanding the interviewer is and answer the harder follow-ups.

Then do the part almost everybody skips: go back to the answers that scored badly and say them again, properly, before you move on. One story re-recorded until it is sharp is worth more than twenty questions answered once. Space the sessions out too. Two short runs on different days will beat one long run, because the thing you are training is retrieval under pressure, and retrieval improves with gaps between attempts.

A practice tool, used honestly

This is a practice simulator to rehearse and get feedback, not a tool to use during a live interview. Voice transcription uses your browser's speech recognition; in Chrome that sends audio to Google for transcription. Your answers stay on your device unless you choose to save them.

Common questions

What is an interview simulator?
An interview simulator runs a practice interview end to end instead of handing you a list of questions to read. It picks questions for the role and level you chose, asks them one at a time without showing you what is coming next, waits for your answer, and then grades that answer. The point is to rehearse the part that actually goes wrong in real interviews, which is answering out loud under time pressure with no chance to edit, rather than the part most people practise, which is recognising a question you have already seen.
Is this simulator free to use?
Yes. You can run a full session without an account, a card, or a trial. There is no question cap to unlock and no paid tier that holds back the scoring. The simulator is funded the same way the rest of the site is, so the practice itself stays open to everyone.
Can I use it without a microphone?
Yes. Voice is the default because speaking your answer is closer to the real thing, but every question can be answered by typing instead, and typed answers are scored exactly the same way. If your browser blocks microphone access or you are somewhere you cannot speak, switch to typing and nothing else about the session changes.
How is each answer scored?
Answers are graded against the dimensions interviewers actually write on a scorecard: whether you answered the question that was asked, whether the example is specific rather than general, whether the outcome is concrete, and whether your reasoning is easy to follow. The feedback quotes the part of your answer it is judging, so you can see which sentence earned or lost the point rather than being handed a number with no explanation.
Which roles and levels can I practise?
You choose the role and the seniority, and the question set changes with both. A junior session leans on fundamentals and how you approach a problem you have not seen; a senior session leans on scope, trade-offs, influence, and the decisions you owned. You can also set how demanding the interviewer is, which changes how hard the follow-up questions push on a thin answer.
Can I practise a phone screen specifically?
Yes. A phone screen is the shortest format and the one most people fail, so it is worth rehearsing on its own. Run a short session with voice turned on and no notes in front of you, because that is the real constraint: on a phone screen nobody can see your face, your only signal is how clearly you speak, and you cannot read from a prepared document without it showing in your delivery.
