What you will get

A live mock interview, one question at a time. After each answer you get a score out of 10, what was good, what was missing and a stronger sample answer in the STAR format, then a summary after 8 questions.

Common mistake

The AI asks all the questions at once.

Fix: Keep “one question at a time” and “wait for my answer” in the prompt. If it still lists them all, send the reply below.

Other ways it goes wrong

The questions are too easy or too general for the level you gave. Paste the job description and say “ask the hardest questions a hiring manager would ask at this level”. The more of the real advert it sees, the sharper it gets.
The sample answers invent achievements for you. Add “base the sample answer only on what I told you, and mark where I would need to add a real example”. Practise with your own stories.
You score 9 out of 10 every time. Ask “score strictly: 6 is a pass, and tell me what would make this an 8”. Gentle scoring hides weak spots.

Try a variation: weakest area

After the summary, send “run three more questions only on my weakest area, from hardest to easiest”. Repeating the weak spot is quicker than another full round.

Stop. Ask me only the first question, then wait for my answer before you continue.

FAQ

About this prompt

Can I practise a mock interview by voice?

Yes, if your tool has a voice mode: paste the prompt, then answer out loud. Speaking is closer to the real interview than typing, and it shows you where you ramble.
