See how you'll come across — before the real call.
Have a live, spoken 3-minute mock interview with an AI that asks real questions and probes the weakest part of each answer. Walk away with a competency scorecard and the exact follow-ups to fix.

Say a sentence out loud.
The interviewer will not start until the voice session is ready and your mic shows activity.
- Microphone permission
- Voice activity detected
- Realtime voice session ready
You're on the call
Getting microphone access and warming the voice session.
Type your answers — your interviewer replies in real time
See exactly what you walk away with
A real example. Yours is generated live from your own answers — nothing hidden behind a paywall.
Speak your answers
Reading sample answers won't prepare you. This is a spoken interview — you talk, it listens, follows up, and reacts in real time.
Real behavioral probing
It asks the questions you'll actually get, then probes the biggest gap in each answer — a missing metric, a vague action, an untested claim.
Scored on what matters
A competency scorecard grades role fit, problem-solving, clarity, specificity, and more — with the exact follow-up an interviewer would ask to close each gap.
How it works
Three minutes, three steps.
Set it up
Pick the interview type — behavioral, technical, hiring-manager, case, or final round — and upload your resume (and the job, if you have one).

Questions
Is it a real spoken interview?
Yes — you answer out loud and a realtime AI interviewer responds and follows up like a real one.
Do I need an account?
No. The mock interview is free without signing up. Unlimited practice lives inside Job Lobster.
What kinds of questions?
You choose the round: behavioral (STAR), technical deep-dive, hiring-manager, case/situational, or final-round executive — each with adaptive follow-ups. Add a target role or job description and the questions get role-specific.
Can I practice for an AI interviewer or HireVue-style screen?
Yes — this is the closest free rehearsal there is. More companies now run first-round screens with a realtime AI interviewer; this is the same format, with a scorecard at the end instead of a rejection email.
Will it judge how I sound?
It reads delivery (pace, clarity, energy) as coaching signal only, and never scores accent, identity, or background. You also get the measured numbers — words per minute, filler words, pause time — so you can see exactly what to change.
You cannot read your way to a good interview.
A free, live AI interview — out loud — then a competency scorecard with the exact follow-up an interviewer would ask to close each gap.
You cannot read your way to a good interview.
Reading a list of sample answers feels like preparation. It is not. The gap between knowing a good answer and delivering one under pressure — out loud, with a follow-up coming — is where interviews are lost. This is a real spoken interview: a realtime AI interviewer asks, listens, and probes the weakest part of each answer the way a sharp human would. The only way to get better at speaking is to speak.
You do not rise to the occasion. You fall to your practice.
- Feels productive, changes nothing
- No pressure, no clock
- No one follows up on the gaps
- You never hear how you sound
- Real pressure, real clock
- Live follow-ups on your weakest line
- You hear yourself and adjust
- Specifics become reflex
Great answers are specific. The rest are forgettable.
Interviewers do not remember adjectives; they remember specifics. "I improved our process and the team was happy" is forgettable; the number and the action behind it are what land. So the interviewer probes the weakest part of every answer — a missing metric, a vague action, an untested claim — and asks the exact follow-up a sharp human would. You practice closing the gap live, not just reciting the story.
The follow-up is where vague answers go to die.
What an interview actually scores.
A scorecard is not a vibe. The interview grades you across eight competencies — role fit, problem-solving, communication, specificity, ownership, and more — and plots where you are strong and where you leaked points. For each gap it hands you the exact follow-up an interviewer would have asked, so you know precisely what to tighten before the real one.
Know the rubric before you are graded by it.
Your delivery is data, not vibes.
How you sound is coachable once you can see it. You get the measured numbers — words per minute, filler-word count, pause time — so "you seemed nervous" becomes "you ran a little fast with a handful of fillers; slow down and the confidence reads." Delivery is a coaching signal only, and it is explicitly built never to score your accent, identity, or background.
"You seemed nervous" is useless. "152 wpm, 6 fillers" you can fix.
Rehearse the round you are walking into.
A behavioral round and a final-round executive conversation are not the same interview, so do not rehearse them the same way. Pick the round — behavioral STAR, technical deep-dive, hiring-manager, case, or final round — and add the role or job description to make the questions specific. And since more companies now run first-round screens with a realtime AI interviewer, this is the closest rehearsal there is for that exact format — with a scorecard at the end instead of a rejection email.
Your next first-round screen may be an AI. Practice on one.
Run one live interview before the real one.
Free, out loud, in 3 minutes — with a competency scorecard and your highest-leverage fixes.
