An interview is a hard conversation, and hard conversations get better with rehearsal. Paste your résumé and the posting, tell us which round this is, and we’ll surface the real strengths on your résumé that matter for it, name the honest gaps, list the likely questions and the sharp ones to ask them — then practice answering out loud, with feedback on how you said it.
How this stays honest: we only surface what’s already on your résumé — we never invent fit you can’t back up. Nothing here is published, the posting isn’t stored, and you’ll say it in your own words. Practicing a claim you can’t defend hurts you in the real room, so we’ll flag it if you drift.
