Retake Room and a mock interview with a person

- Retake Room The first mock is free. A Sprint is $29 for 4 full mocks, paid once.

- Retake Room Start whenever you are free, in your browser, by voice.
- Follow-ups

- Retake Room The interviewer asks the follow-up a real panel asks, quoting your own words.
- Feedback
- With a person Notes and advice, in whatever form the person gives them.
- Retake Room A mark on each area that points at a line you said, then a free retake of one answer to compare.
- Privacy
- With a person Another person hears every answer, including the rough ones.
- Retake Room The interviewer is an AI and no one on staff listens. Recordings are deleted after 30 days.
When a person helps more
A person brings their own judgment and can talk through your career story with you. You can use both: Retake Room for repeated practice out loud, a person for a final check.
