Your interview

A live interview or a one-way video interview? Practise the one you've got.

Getting ready for a traditional interview, face to face or online, or a recorded one-way interview? Both are here, each run the way the real one is.

Face to face or on a video call

A live interview

An interviewer reads each question aloud, listens, and comes back on what you said, the way a panel or a video call does.

  • Questions read aloud, with thinking time if you want it
  • Follow-up questions when an answer leaves something out
  • A supportive, standard or tough interviewer
  • Your camera on for eye contact and presence, and feedback after every answer
How practice interviews work
A live practice interview: the question read aloud, the answer being recorded, and the candidate's camera viewA live practice interview: the question read aloud, the answer being recorded, and the candidate's camera view

Recorded, with no one on the other side

A one-way video interview

The recorded format many employers use for first rounds. The question appears, a countdown runs, and recording starts whether you are ready or not.

  • Time to prepare, then recording starts by itself
  • An answer clock, and your answer is taken when time runs out
  • Exam conditions: 30 seconds to prepare, 2 minutes to answer, one take, results at the end
  • Or practise with a retake and feedback after every answer

What candidates say

  • AI Career Mentor helped me to secure my apprenticeship in engineering. Its intuitive questions and helpful feedback helped me to perfectly craft and present my answers, leading to success in my final interview.
    TobySecured an engineering apprenticeship
  • AI Career Mentor has helped me best prepare for my interview for my apprenticeships, aiding me in my interview and assessment centre, which both officially secured my apprenticeship.
    WillSecured a Level 4 engineering apprenticeship
  • I needed to practise for an assessment centre interview and group challenge. I searched lots of sites until I found this one. It was so useful for me to prepare and get a sense of what an assessment centre is like. It had a great variety of scenarios and gave me huge confidence going into the real thing. For anyone getting ready for assessment centre days, give it a try.

Frequently asked questions

Is AI Career Mentor free?+

Every new account starts with a 3-day free trial of the whole product, with no payment details required. After that there is one paid plan, Pro: £15 a month, £38 a quarter or £120 a year. The free tools (the STAR answer scorer, question banks and guides) stay free, and you keep your saved interviews and reports either way.

What interview types does it cover?+

Interviews for any job, graduate schemes, apprenticeships, the Civil Service, the NHS, financial services, law, accountancy and consulting, technology and data, engineering, retail, and strengths interviews, each with its own running order. You can practise as a coaching interview, a one-way video interview or a continuous spoken conversation, take timed situational judgement, numerical and verbal reasoning tests, and run a full mock assessment centre with a case study, presentation, in-tray and group exercise.

Does AI Career Mentor record my video?+

Your camera feed is processed to score eye contact, facial expression and camera presence. So you can watch an answer back, a copy is kept in your browser until you close the page; it is never uploaded to us, shared or used for anything else. You can run sessions without your camera at any time.

How long does a practice interview take?+

A quick interview is three questions and takes about ten minutes: tell me about yourself, why you want the job, and one question about your experience. The full interview is six questions, about 25 minutes, and ends the way real ones do, with your questions for the interviewer. In Pro and the free trial you can also set any length from 3 to 10 questions and choose the mix of question types.
