# Get interview-ready with a mock interview that gets harder

> When you answer well, it pushes harder with the follow-up a real hiring manager would ask.

AI asks a few setup questions, then plays the interviewer for your real job and raises the difficulty as you improve. After each round you get one strength, one fix and a better example answer.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Run a realistic mock interview with me for this job: [JOB POSTING]. My background in a few lines: [YOUR BACKGROUND]. First, ask me three setup questions, one at a time: the interview stage, who's interviewing me and what I'm most worried about. Then play the interviewer. Ask one question at a time, mostly behavioral ones like 'tell me about a time', plus one about my weak spot. If I answer well, make the next follow-up harder. If I ramble, cut in politely like a real interviewer would. When I say 'feedback', step out of character and give me one strength, one thing to fix with a better example answer, and one tip for the real interview. Then keep going.
```

## Step by step

1. Paste the prompt below with the job posting and a few lines about you.
2. Answer the three setup questions by typing.
3. Switch to voice mode and answer out loud as if you're in the room.
4. Say 'feedback' after each round and try your weakest answer again.

## What you'll get

A realistic interview that adapts to you, plus specific feedback and a better example answer after each round.
