Take Mock Interviews – A Step-by-Step Guide

Mock interviews are interviews that mimic the real-world interviews you’ll take to apply for jobs. Our mock interviews are tailor-made for your job role and so taking them can help you a great deal in improving the overall skills required for your job role.

We’ve made the mock interview experience on our platform as close as possible to the actual job interviews. You start the interview by entering your contact details and uploading your resume. You then take the WorkMap assessment for job-related skills and the video interview questions for interpersonal skills. In the end, you submit the interview and see the results. Yes, it’s that easy 😊

 

Taking a mock interview on our platform should take anywhere between 15 to 20 minutes. You should complete the interview in one sitting.

Answer Video Interview Questions

You’ll see the video interview questions that we tailor-make for your job role. Our AI analyzes your audio and video responses to these questions to assess the quality of the interpersonal skills required for your job role.

 

You may see up to 10 questions and can record your response for up to 3 minutes for each question. You will have a few seconds to gather your thoughts before you start recording your response to a question. We’ve made this experience easy for you by showing the response timer and prep timer in the mock interviews 😊

 

Before you answer video interview questions, we highly recommend that you see Prepare for video interviews to make sure you meet the equipment and environment to take video interviews.
