You pick a format, then answer questions one at a time by speaking or typing. That is the Interview Coach, CareerPigeon's mock-interview tool, and the write-up on how you did arrives when you end the session. Sessions carry over, so the coach knows what you worked on last time.
Behavioral gives you STAR-style questions, technical runs coding and technical-tradeoff questions, and case study runs consulting-style problems. If you know the company or have the posting, add the name and paste the job description so the questions track that role. If the screen came through a referral, the company name and whatever that person told you about the team are sitting in their record in Contacts. Then the interview begins, one question at a time.
End a session and the coach writes up how it went, based on the answers you gave in it. The write-up stays attached to the session, so you can reread the conversation next to the feedback. Old sessions stay in the sidebar and open again in full.
What it picks up about you in one interview carries into the next, so a second session starts from where the first one left you. That matters most when you are practicing for the same role over a few weeks, since you are not reintroducing yourself every time you sit down.
The coach is grounded in the resume you confirmed in the Resume Workshop and the experience in your Career History, so questions come back to the projects and roles you have listed. If your resume is not confirmed yet, CareerPigeon sends you there first. A coach that does not know your background can only ask generic questions.
No. You can type every answer if you would rather not speak. Voice mode is there when you want it, with a small set of interviewer voices you can preview before the session starts. You can switch between speaking and typing during an interview.
Yes. The setup screen has an optional company field and a box for pasting a job description. Fill in either one and the questions follow that role and that posting. Leave them blank and you get a general interview in the format you picked.
No. Interview transcripts stay inside your CareerPigeon account and are not downloadable. You can reopen any past session from the sidebar and read the whole conversation there, along with the feedback for that session.
Yes. Practice sessions are included on the free account, with a weekly allowance that resets each week. A paid plan removes the weekly session limit and the separate limit on voice sessions. What each plan includes is on the plan page.
