Interview Preparation & Mock Interview

Use AI to organize evidence and practice—not to provide hidden answers during a real employer interview.

Interview Preparation

Research the company and role, identify likely questions, and retrieve verified evidence for concise answer planning.

Open Interview Preparation →

Adaptive Mock Interview

Choose an interview format and question count. The AI interviewer records and transcribes each answer, evaluates its evidence, challenges vague claims, and asks an adaptive follow-up.

Open Mock Interview →

Practice boundary

Live Interview Assistance is hidden from standard accounts and available only to administrators or approved groups. Access is enforced by the server.

Browser-only MVP

The Windows Desktop Recorder is excluded from the Career Bridge MVP. The supported practice path is the browser Adaptive Mock Interview.

Common problems

Open a question for the most likely solution.

My mock-interview answer will not record

Use a current desktop version of Chrome or Edge, allow microphone access when prompted, and confirm that another application is not already using the microphone.

My practice session is missing from Interview Review

Complete the selected number of questions, choose Generate interview review, and keep the page open until the review-ready confirmation appears. A discarded session is not added to Interview Review.

Career Evidence Library did not find an example

Confirm that the evidence was uploaded, the correct application workspace is selected, and the search scope includes the intended source. Try a shorter, more specific question.

The Interview Scorecard evaluated the wrong content

Adaptive Mock Interview reviews automatically grade the candidate answers rather than the AI interviewer prompts. Contact support if a review appears to analyze the wrong speaker.

An improvement action is not visible

Clear Career Action Plan filters and check the Closed view. Owner, application, due date, priority, status, and search filters can change what is displayed.

Use recording for authorized practice

Record only mock-interview sessions or other conversations you are authorized to capture. Review sensitive transcript content before creating a share link.
