I bombed another interview yesterday.
Well, not yesterday. This was eight months ago. But I still remember every painful second of it.
The hiring manager asked me to "tell him about myself" and I completely blanked.
Thirty seconds of silence.
I had rehearsed this answer a hundred times. In my car. In the shower. Standing in front of my bedroom mirror.
But when it mattered most?
Nothing.
My co-founder Mike had the same problem. Brilliant engineer. Could build anything. But put him in an interview room and he'd freeze up like a deer in headlights.
Sarah, our designer, got so nervous in interviews she'd start talking too fast. Rambling. Oversharing.
Three smart people. All struggling with the same thing.
We were failing at a skill we'd never actually learned.
So I did what desperate people do. I threw money at the problem.
Found a "premium" interview coach. $175 per hour. Former Fortune 500 recruiter. Impressive LinkedIn profile.
Our first session? Generic advice I could have found on any career blog.
"Tell me about a time you overcame a challenge."
"Make sure you have questions ready."
"Firm handshake. Eye contact."
Thanks. Revolutionary.
Here's what really got me:
She'd never worked in tech. Had no idea what a product manager actually does. But she was charging me $175 an hour to teach me how to interview for product management roles.
I needed ten sessions to feel confident, she said.
That's $1,750.
Mike found a coach who wanted $200 per hour. Minimum commitment: 12 sessions.
$2,400.
Sarah's coach? $150 per hour, but insisted on a 15-session package.
$2,250.
We were looking at over $6,000 between the three of us.
For what felt like expensive therapy sessions.
Then something clicked.
I was watching my nephew practice basketball. Missing shot after shot. His coach wasn't giving him speeches about "believing in himself."
He was just rebounding the ball and passing it back.
Rep after rep after rep.
That's when I realized: I didn't need expensive advice.
I needed practice.
Lots of it.
Professional athletes practice 4-6 hours a day. Every day.
Musicians practice scales until their fingers bleed.
But somehow we expect to nail job interviews with zero practice?
The research backs this up: 80% of candidates who complete intensive coaching programs land offers, compared to under 3% industry-wide success rates.
The difference? Volume of practice.
You need 10-15 hours of solid interview practice to truly master it.
But at $150-200 per hour, that's financially impossible for most people.
Including us.
What if I could practice with someone who:
Never got tired of my questions?
Knew every industry inside and out?
Could interview me at 2 AM if I couldn't sleep?
Cost 90% less than human coaching?
What if I could fail safely, learn quickly, and improve constantly?
That's exactly what we built.
Our AI interview coach using OpenAI's real-time API doesn't just give you advice.
It interviews you.
Over and over and over.
Until you stop freezing up. Until your answers flow naturally. Until you actually enjoy interviews.
Mike did 47 practice sessions in two weeks. Got offers from three different companies.
Sarah practiced behavioral questions until she could tell her stories without rambling. Landed her dream job at a design agency.
Me? I can now talk about myself for exactly two minutes without breaking a sweat.
Here's the thing that keeps me up at night:
The average interview is 40 minutes.
Forty minutes.
That's all that stands between you and your dream job. Your ideal salary. The career you've always wanted.
Don't let those 40 minutes slip away because you couldn't afford proper preparation.
You can keep doing what you're doing.
Keep hoping the next interview will be different.
Keep telling yourself you'll figure it out.
Or you can practice. Like an athlete. Like a musician. Like someone who actually wants to win.
We built this because we needed it.
Now you can have it too.
At a fraction of the cost. With unlimited practice. Available whenever you need it.
Your dream job is waiting.
Time to go earn it.
