Interview Practice
Practice interviews with feedback on delivery, not just content.
The problem
Students rehearse interview answers in their head and get feedback on their answers only. Nobody tells them how the answer actually lands.
The idea
Record timed practice sessions and return structured, private feedback on content, structure, and pacing.
What it does
- Runs timed practice questions.
- Returns feedback on structure, pacing, and filler language.
- Keeps everything private to the student.
How it works
- 1
Practice
Answer a question on camera.
- 2
Analyze
Delivery signals are extracted from the recording.
- 3
Iterate
The student re-runs the same question.
Research connection
Student Learning — deliberate practice with feedback in a professional skill.
See the research pillarsDesign decisions
- Private by default.
- Feedback is descriptive rather than scored.
Behavioral design
Feedback loops plus low-stakes repetition; the ability to retry immediately is what changes behavior.
Classroom use
Prototype used with students preparing for internship and full-time interviews.
What I learned
- Delivery feedback is uncomfortable and unusually effective.
- Anything that feels like scoring a personality kills adoption instantly.
