Guides for practicing the interview out loud.
Reading about an interview doesn't transfer — saying the answer out loud under pressure does. These guides cover the situations that come up most: prepping the phone screen and the panel, negotiating the offer, drilling the STAR shape and situational hypotheticals, nailing "tell me about yourself," practicing for a nursing or teaching interview, stopping the ramble, and bringing the nerves down before the real room. Each one is built around the same loop the app runs — find the role, run the rep, read the debrief, run it again.

The research behind interview practice
Every guide here rests on the same premise: rehearsal with specific feedback improves performance. We've collected the peer-reviewed evidence — deliberate practice, the power of feedback, mock-interview randomized trials, exposure for speaking anxiety, and retrieval practice — each cited to its primary source, with every caveat flagged.
