Rehearse out loud, walk in with a dossier, and follow up well.
AI Mock Interviews
Practice a real interview and get scored, honest feedback.
- 1Open a saved job and click Start Mock Interview — or go to Mock Interviews → Practice without a job and paste any role you want to rehearse for.
- 2Pick the format: Behavioral, Role-specific, Phone screen, One-way screener, or AI phone screen.
- 3Choose a difficulty (Warmup, Realistic, or Tough), how many questions (3, 5, or 8), and who's interviewing you — a preset persona or a researched contact from that job.
- 4Answer one question at a time. Each answer is graded straight away on relevance, specificity, and STAR completeness, with one concrete fix to apply next time.
- 5Finish for a scorecard: overall readiness, per-dimension scores, a coach's debrief, and a Redo weakest 3 loop that re-asks the questions you struggled with.
What your plan includes
- AI mock interviews are a Plus feature
- Trials preview them in full, voice included
- On Standard, starting a new session is blocked — but every past session and scorecard stays viewable
Voice Practice & Delivery Feedback
Answer out loud, the way you will on the day.
Choose the voice format at setup and the session runs hands-free:
- The interviewer speaks each question aloud, then your mic opens — replay the question or mute the voice any time
- Your take stops on its own after a natural pause (or press Done answering), and the transcript is submitted for you, with no edit step
- Answers are capped like the real thing: three minutes by default, a hard two-minute cap on one-way screeners, and about 90 seconds on the AI phone screen
- Switch to typing mid-session if you'd rather not speak
Delivery coaching
Voice sessions add a delivery panel to your scorecard, alongside — never instead of — the substance scores:
- Speaking pace against the 120-160 words-per-minute ideal band
- Filler words per minute and hedging per answer
- Your longest unbroken monologue
Interview Prep Packs
A job-specific dossier you can take into the room.
Open a saved job and click Interview Prep Pack. Resumello assembles:
- A company snapshot: what they do, their values, culture notes, and recent news
- A role brief with responsibilities, success metrics, and a prep checklist
- The questions you're likely to be asked, each paired with one of your own STAR stories
- A grounded pitch: tell-me-about-yourself, why this company, why this role, plus 30- and 60-second elevator versions
- Sharp questions to ask them — and per-interviewer talking points when interviewer research exists for the job (Plus)
Good to know
- Generation runs in the background; the page follows along and shows the dossier as soon as it's ready
- Each job gets one pack. Once it's built you can refresh the pitch and the questions-to-ask sections individually instead of rebuilding the whole thing
- Download the finished pack as a branded PDF
- Prep packs need an active subscription (your trial counts) — they aren't Plus-only
Outreach & Thank-You Notes
Follow up without staring at a blank email.
Thank-you notes
- Pick a recipient from the interview contacts saved on that job, or write a general note
- Add what you actually discussed and the draft is built around it, from your real experience
- Edit the draft, copy it, or open it straight in your email client
Outreach
- Choose an intent: informational interview, referral ask, reconnecting with a dormant contact, or a hiring-manager intro
- Add the contact's name and how you know them, pick a short or medium length, then edit before you send
Follow-up reminders
- Set a follow-up date on the job — it defaults to five business days out
- Setting that date is free; AI drafting needs an active subscription (your trial counts)
