After 4 years been the interviewer and not the one doing interviews; I honestly have to recognize that as soon as I started practicing, I was very rusty.
I tried ChatGPT and other tools and The feedback was always the same: "strong technically, but didn't structure answers well." No one would tell me what specifically I was doing wrong in the moment or how exactly restructure my answer..
So I built Interview Sparring (at interviewsparring.com ); it's like having a coach sit next to you during mock interviews and tap your shoulder making it easier to speak outloud and building that confidence
I think the best asset of this tool is all the explorations, books and tools that I have tried, which resulted in my https://interviewsparring.com/tips posts, recently a colleague told me: "The Tips material is top notch; It's awesome that you are posting all that for free
How it works:
- Fill the job description you're targeting → it understands the role's requirements
- Upload your CV → AI extracts your skills, experience, and flags gaps
- The AI interviewer then generates questions specific to you
Post-session you get:
- Per-answer scoring (0-10) with specific weaknesses flagged
- An AI-rewritten model answer (what you should have said)
- A STAR quality breakdown
- Overall coaching summary and how to improve your answer to try again!
Other stuff:
- 6 interviewer personalities including a "distracted manager" who checks their phone and interrupts
I was thinking on having a "BYOK" model (Bring your own key model) given that the majority of the cost is on OpenAI Realtime API, so people can enjoy the app and paying less, but I disabled it given I thought people could distrust the app or too difficult for people to understand and configure -> Do you think this could be valuable feature?
Try it: https://interviewsparring.com (free tier 3 sessions, no card required)
Would love feedback what feature would make you actually use this?
The CV-tailored questions or the real-time speaking feedback?
Add your own "questions" ?
Questions focus (practice only one question?
You tell me! I will really appreciate your time and feedback
