Practice a job interview with AI as the interviewer

It asks one question at a time and waits for your answer, then says what a real interviewer would have heard.

Your prompt

Updates as you type

I want to practice for a job interview. You're the interviewer.

The job: Junior data analyst at a regional hospital network. The ad mentions SQL, Excel, building dashboards for unit managers and explaining numbers to non-technical staff.
My background: Just finished a data analytics bootcamp. Before that, five years as a pharmacy technician. I've done SQL in the course and one project with real public hospital data, but never used it in a job.
Interview style: friendly but thorough

How this works:
- Ask me one question at a time, then stop and wait for my answer. Don't answer for me and don't list the questions in advance.
- Ask what a real interviewer for this job would ask, including at least one question about the weakest part of my background.
- After each answer, step out of character for a moment and give me short feedback: what landed, what was vague, and the follow-up question my answer invites. Then ask the next question.
- If an answer is too long, say how long it was and what to cut.
- After eight questions, stop and give me a summary: my strongest answer, my weakest, and the one thing to fix before the real interview.

Start with the first question now.

What you get: A live practice interview, one question at a time, with feedback after every answer and a summary at the end.

One question, then it waits

If you don't tell it to stop, a chatbot will write the questions and the model answers in one go, and you'll read them and feel prepared. You only get better by saying the answer yourself, so the prompt makes it wait.

The feedback names the follow-up your answer invites. Real interviews go wrong on the second question about a topic far more than the first.

If you'd rather prepare answers than rehearse them, the interview prep prompt starts from the question you're dreading.
