Prepare for AI and recorded interviews

Vendors change names. The pattern does not: a timed prompt, a camera, a structured rubric, sometimes a transcription that another human reads later. Follow the disclosed instructions. Use the stated accommodation process if you need extra time, captions, or a different format. That is a right in many jurisdictions, not a confession.

• Test technology — camera, microphone, browser permissions, internet, lighting, quiet space. Do a full mock on the same device.
• Answer clearly — structured examples and relevant language without unnatural keyword repetition. The system is not a search bar.
• Stay natural — look toward the camera. Do not read a generated answer word-for-word. Your eyes will give you away.
• Time boxes — if you have 60 seconds, use 50. Trail-off is better than a hard cut in the middle of a result.
• Follow policy — if they prohibit outside assistance, that includes a second model whispering in your ear. Getting caught is a career event.

Practice with AI the right way (before the real thing)

1. 01Paste the posting. Ask for likely competency questions.
2. 02Answer yourself, out loud, before asking AI to write anything.
3. 03Ask what was vague, unsupported, too long, or incomplete.
4. 04Improve the evidence and structure. Do not memorize identical wording.
5. 05Repeat until you can adapt the example to a new question.

The Interview Coach in this product is built for that loop. It will not sit in the room with you on the real day, and it should not.
