Who will I be talking to?
Jordan Reyes. The AI plays a easy counterpart who stays in character for the whole conversation, asks one question at a time, and pushes back when your answers are vague. It never coaches you mid-conversation; feedback comes at the end.
What is the goal of this scenario?
Show reliability and a customer-first attitude, give specific examples of staying positive under pressure, and handle the shoplifting and teamwork questions with judgment rather than bravado.
What will the AI ask me?
It opens with: Hey, thanks for coming in! I'll keep this pretty relaxed. First thing: tell me about a time a customer was upset with you or the store, and how you handled it.
From there it follows your answers with realistic follow-ups, so no two runs are the same. The conversation lasts up to 10 of your turns, or you can end it early to get scored.
How is my score calculated?
You get a score out of 10 for each of these criteria, and an overall score weighted as shown. Each criterion comes with a one-line note on what you did and what to change.

Customer focus 30%
Puts the customer experience first and describes de-escalating with empathy.

How hard is it?
Difficulty 2 of 5 (easy). Expect patience and gentle follow-ups; good for a first run. After your first run you can retry at a harder level.

People also ask
How do I practice for a job interview by myself?
Pick an interview scenario, answer each question out loud or by typing as if it were real, and read the scored feedback at the end. Repeat the same scenario at a harder difficulty until your answers are specific and under two minutes.
What is the STAR method and does the AI check for it?
STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, Result. The rubric on most interview scenarios rewards answers that follow that arc, name what you personally did, and state a measurable outcome.
How many practice interviews should I do before the real one?
Most people see clear gains after three to five sessions. Spread them over a few days so you can act on the feedback between runs rather than repeating the same mistakes.
Will the AI interviewer ask follow-up questions?
Yes. The persona probes vague answers the way a real interviewer does, asking what exactly you did and what happened. Higher difficulty levels push harder and interrupt rambling.
Is AI interview practice free?
You can run one free interview session a day without an account. A free account gives five scored sessions a month, and paid plans unlock more sessions and deeper feedback.
