Walk in prepared, not rehearsed.
Practise real questions against a timer, run a five-question mock round, check your answers have structure and work through a checklist so nothing is left to chance.
Tell me about a time you found an error in a report.
The practice studio
Choose a question, set a timer and write or say your answer. The checks look at structure and delivery only, not whether your story is good.
Build a STAR story
Jot one real story in four short boxes. We join them into a first draft you can send to the answer box and tighten aloud.
Know the format
Each interview type rewards slightly different preparation.
Pay, notice period and other awkward questions
General guidance, not advice for your specific situation. You choose what to share and when.
“What are your expectations?”
Research typical ranges for the role and city first. Many people give a range and say it depends on the full scope of the role.
“What is your notice period?”
Be accurate. If it is negotiable with your employer, say so, but don’t promise what you haven’t checked.
“Why are you leaving?”
Keep it forward-looking: what you want next, not what was wrong with your last employer.
Your prep checklist
Tick items off as you go. Your progress is remembered on this device.
Interview day, step by step
A simple rhythm to keep nerves in check.
Re-read the listing, rehearse your three stories aloud once and sleep well.
Review your notes, not new material. Settle your setup and take a few slow breaths.
Pause before answering. Use STAR, ask your questions and note names and next steps.
Send a short thank-you within a day, update the tracker and add a follow-up task.
Questions, answered
Straight answers, no fine print. More on the FAQ page or contact us.
Does the STAR checker judge how good my answer is?
No. It looks for signs that each part (Situation, Task, Action, Result) is present. Whether your story is strong is for you and a human listener to judge.
Are my saved answers stored on your servers?
On this page they stay in your own browser only. Clear your browser data and they are gone.
Will these exact questions come up?
Possibly not. They are common patterns that help you prepare stories you can adapt, not predictions about any employer.
How should I answer questions about salary or notice period?
Give an honest notice period. For pay, many people research the range for the role and share a range rather than a single figure. You choose what to share and when.
Can I practise out loud?
Yes, and you should. Use the timer, answer aloud, then write down what you said. Speaking is a different skill from writing.
