What is Mock Interviews?
Mock Interviews is a feature designed to help you practice and prepare before your actual interview takes place. It generates a personalized interview session based on a job you’re applying to and a resume you’ve uploaded.
It asks you a series of interview questions so you can rehearse your responses, receive feedback, and improve your performance ahead of the real conversation with a recruiter or hiring manager.
Mock Interviews vs Interview Buddy: what’s the difference?
Mock Interviews and Interview Buddy are two different interview-related features designed for different stages of your job search:
Mock Interviews helps you practice and prepare before the actual interview takes place. You answer simulated questions, receive feedback, and refine your responses on your own time.
Interview Buddy assists you during a live interview in real time, supporting you while the actual conversation with the employer is happening.
In short: use Mock Interviews to rehearse, and Interview Buddy when you’re in the real interview.
