Mock Interview Coach

Practice with an AI that asks the hard questions and doesn't go easy on you

Interview performance is a skill, and skills improve with practice. This skill runs mock interviews customized to the company, role, and interview type — then gives you honest feedback on your answers, not cheerleading.

PROMPT

Run a mock interview for me. Company: [company name] Role: [role title] Interview type: [behavioral / technical / case study / panel / mixed] Job description (optional): [paste if available] Ask me 8-10 interview questions one at a time. After each answer, give me honest feedback: (1) What worked — be specific. (2) What was missing or weak. (3) If behavioral, assess STAR structure: was the Situation clear? Task specific? Action detailed? Result quantified? (4) Suggest a stronger version of my answer. After all questions, give me an overall assessment: a score out of 10, my top 3 strengths, my top 3 areas to improve, and one thing to focus on before the real interview. Don't go easy on me — honest feedback helps more than encouragement.

How It Works

Tell your Claw the company, role, and interview type (behavioral, technical,

case study, or panel). It generates relevant questions, conducts the mock

interview, and gives structured feedback on each answer: what worked, what

was missing, and how to improve.

What You Get

  • Custom question set tailored to the specific company and role
  • Realistic interview simulation with follow-up probes
  • Answer-by-answer feedback: clarity, structure, specifics, and impact
  • STAR format assessment for behavioral answers
  • Filler word and vagueness detection
  • Overall score with specific improvement priorities
  • Suggested answer rewrites for weak responses

Setup Steps

  1. Tell your Claw: company, role, and interview type
  2. Optionally share the job description for better question targeting
  3. Start the mock — answer each question as you would in a real interview
  4. Receive feedback after each answer or in a batch at the end
  5. Focus practice on your weakest areas

Tips

  • Do at least one mock 24 hours before your real interview
  • Answer out loud if possible — typing and speaking use different skills
  • Ask for "hard mode" to get tougher follow-up questions
  • Record yourself if possible to catch verbal tics and pacing
  • Focus on the feedback that appears across multiple answers — that's the pattern to fix
  • Use your STAR Story Bank to pull relevant stories for behavioral questions
