# Interview Practice

> Practice job interviews with a voice-based AI interviewer that asks follow-up questions, gives real-time coaching, and helps you build confidence

## Overview

Mokaru's AI interview practice lets you rehearse real job interviews by speaking with an AI interviewer called **Mokki**. It works like a real conversation - you talk, Mokki listens, asks follow-up questions, and gives you coaching feedback along the way. No typing required.

Whether you have a big interview coming up or just want to sharpen your skills, mock interview sessions help you build confidence and identify areas to improve before the real thing.

| **Quick Introduction**     | Practicing your elevator pitch and self-introduction     | Networking events, first impressions        |
| **Resume Interview**       | Questions based on the content of your resume            | General interview preparation               |

<Tip>
  **Start with Quick Introduction** if you are new to interview practice. It is a short, low-pressure way to get comfortable speaking with the AI interviewer.
</Tip>

## How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose a Scenario">
    Select the type of interview you want to practice. If you have an upcoming interview in your Job Tracker, you can link the practice session directly to that application.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick Your Settings">
    Choose the AI voice you prefer and the language for your session. Six voice options are available so you can pick one that feels natural to practice with.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the Interview">
    Mokki will introduce itself and begin the interview. Just speak naturally - the AI waits for you to finish your thoughts before responding, so take your time.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get Coached Along the Way">
    As you answer questions, Mokki analyzes your responses and provides coaching tips. These tips cover things like answer structure, specificity, and impact.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review Your Performance">
    After the session, review your full transcript and all the coaching feedback. Use this to identify patterns and areas to work on before your next practice session.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## During Your Interview

The AI interviewer is designed to feel like a real conversation:

* **Natural pacing** - Mokki detects when you have finished speaking before responding. If you pause to think, it gives you time instead of jumping in.
* **Pause and resume** - Need a moment? Pause the interview at any time and pick up where you left off.
* **Thinking time** - If you need extra time to gather your thoughts, just say so. Mokki will wait for you.
* **Session time limit** - Each scenario has a set duration so you can practice within a realistic time frame.

<Note>
  Interview practice uses AI credits from your plan. Each session type has a different credit cost depending on its length and complexity.
</Note>

## Coaching Feedback

After each answer you give, the AI analyzes your response and generates coaching feedback. Tips cover dimensions like:

* **Relevance** - Did you address what was asked?
* **Structure** - Was your answer well-organized?
* **Specificity** - Did you include concrete examples and details?
* **Impact** - Did you highlight results and achievements?
* **Confidence** - Did your answer come across with conviction?

All coaching tips are saved with your session so you can revisit them anytime from your session history.

## Tips for Better Interview Practice

<Tip>
  **Practice out loud, not in your head.** Speaking your answers is very different from thinking them through. Voice practice helps you sound more natural and catch filler words.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Use the Experience Match scenario before real interviews.** It tailors questions to the specific job you are applying for, so you practice answering the questions most likely to come up.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Review your transcript after each session.** Look for patterns - do you tend to give vague answers? Forget to mention results? Spotting habits is the first step to fixing them.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Link practice sessions to your Job Tracker applications.** This way you can see all your preparation for a specific role in one place and track how your answers improve over time.
</Tip>

## Upcoming Interviews

If you have interviews scheduled in your [Job Tracker](/features/job-tracker), they appear on the interview practice page. You can jump straight into a practice session tailored to that specific role, with your resume and the job details already loaded as context for the AI.

## Related Features

Make sure your resume is ready before your interview. Use the [Resume Builder](/features/resume-builder) to tailor it for the role, and [generate a cover letter](/features/cover-letters) if the application calls for one.
