How to use your Interview Kit

Your kit opens when you choose Open my kit. It takes about 3 minutes to write, and cards appear as they're ready. Each card has a question and our estimate of the chance it's asked. Then a memory hook, and a short answer from your stories. Practise each one out loud with Test yourself.

What's in your kit

  • Where they'll ask the most: the themes the ad stresses, in its own words.
  • Before you start: what to expect, what to be ready to explain, the night before, and what to find out.
  • Answer cards, most likely first. Fill in the highlighted gaps with what really happened.
  • Example answer · made up for you marks a card your resume had no story for. Learn its shape, then tell a true story the same way.
  • Also be ready for: 10 more questions, one line each.
  • Your stories, research on the employer, tips for the day, and a thank-you note to edit.

Practise

  • Test yourself shows one question and its memory hook. Say your answer out loud, for about 90 seconds. Then choose Check against my card.
  • Open the cheat sheet shows every question, hook and story on one page. Print it, or save it as a PDF.
  • Download PDF on the kit page saves the whole kit, to read anywhere.
  • Practise with a Friend sends a link to someone who asks your questions.

Say your answers in your own words. A kit is for practice, not for reading out.

Change an answer

  • Open a card's Follow-ups and rewrites. Under Rewrite this card, choose Shorter, Simpler English, Another example or More senior. Each job includes 20 rewrites.
  • Add your own question turns a question you expect into a full card, up to 10 per job. Type it, then choose Write this answer.
  • Change a story under Edit your stories. Later kits use your version.
  • A card didn't finish? Choose Finish the missing cards.

Your next interview

Invited back? On the kit page, open Got another interview for this job? Pick the kind of interview, and add what they asked last time if you like. Then choose Prepare interview 2.

Each job includes up to 3 interviews. A new kit goes deeper, without repeating earlier questions.
