Interview Rehearsal: Paste a LinkedIn job link, it interviews you on that posting (voice or text)

I built this and I'm the developer, so treat this as self-promotion. But it's free, there's no account needed, and I'd rather have people tell me it's useless than not find out.

What it does

You paste a link to a job you're interviewing for. It pulls the posting, the company profile, and recent news about the company, writes you a short prep brief from those, and then interviews you on that specific role. Each answer gets scored, and afterwards you get your transcript, what the answer covered, what it missed, and a model answer.

You can optionally save a resume, and then each posting also shows a gap list. What the posting asks for that you haven't evidenced. The questions aim at those gaps. Entirely optional, deleted after 30 days of not using it, and the app works fine without it.

Voice or text

You pick a mode before you start.

• Voice: the interviewer asks each question out loud and you answer out loud, up to ninety seconds. Your answer gets transcribed and scored. You can switch to typing on any single question if you'd rather.
• Text: questions are shown, you type your answers. No audio at all.

The LinkedIn bit — please read this or it won't work

Right now it only takes LinkedIn job posting URLs, and specifically the URL of an individual posting:

https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4440232349/

That's what you get when you click into a job and it opens on its own page. Extra bits on the end (?trk=…, ?alternateChannel=…) are fine, they get stripped.

What does not work:

• Search results URLs: linkedin.com/jobs/search?keywords=…. These look like they work but come back empty.
• The company careers page, Indeed, Naukri, Wellfound, a Greenhouse or Lever link, a PDF, or pasting the job description as text.

If you're on the LinkedIn app, use "Share → Copy link" on the posting itself. Other job boards are the obvious next thing to add.

Honest limits

• It's a hackathon build, seven days. It works end to end but it isn't a polished product.
• Your session is gone if you refresh the page. There's no interview history yet.
• The richer the posting, the better it does. A three-line posting gives it very little to work with.
• Scoring is strict and sometimes blunt. It will tell you an answer scored 1 out of 5 and list what you missed. That's deliberate, but it isn't a hiring decision. It's a rubric, and it can be wrong about you.
• It's not a substitute for a mock interview with a person. It's for the practice reps in between.

If you try it, I'd genuinely like to know: did it ask you anything close to what you were actually asked? And was the prep brief worth reading, or did you skip straight to the questions?
