Interview Ready

Practice interviews, built from the job

Books can't generate position-specific interview questions.

Interview Builder can. Tell it the job you are going for and get the behavioral questions employers are trained to ask, with the follow-ups and what the interviewer is listening for in your answer.

Free to build. Create an account when you want to see and print your questions.

From a member

After 27 years in the Army I retired and was very unsure of how I was going to find a job. Interview Ready taught me how to conduct a successful interview and prepared me for any and all questions I was going to be asked. With Interview Ready's help, I aced my very first interview and landed a $120K a year job. Purchasing Interview Ready was the best career decision I made.

How it works

Find the gaps, close them, then practice out loud.

  1. Step 1 — Discover

    Take the free readiness assessment

    Find out what you know, what you don't know, and what you need to work on to launch an effective job search. Simple mistakes cost even highly qualified job seekers their offers.

  2. Step 2 — Learn

    Get a study guide built from your answers

    Your answers generate a brief, easy-to-follow personalized guide that explains how employers think and helps you avoid the pitfalls that derail even highly qualified job seekers.

  3. Step 3 — Be memorable and win

    Build a practice interview for the actual job

    Create a custom set of behavioral questions for each opening. Ask someone to play the interviewer, answer out loud, and watch your confidence grow.

Confidence during the interview increases your chances of getting a job offer by 2.5 times. That is what the practice is for.

Interview Builder

In ten minutes you have the questions, the follow-ups, and what they are listening for.

The questions target the tasks listed in the job description, so they pull out relevant stories from your education, previous jobs and volunteer work. You do not have to memorize what some book told you to say — these are your stories, and you already know the details.

Achieving results

Tell me about a time when you led a team on a difficult assignment.

They are listening for

Whether you are willing to take on difficult assignments, and whether you saw this one through to a result rather than handing it off.

Follow-ups they will ask

  • What made this assignment so difficult?
  • What obstacles did you encounter, and how did you deal with them?
  • Who else was involved, and what was your part specifically?
  • How did it turn out?

Print it and practice out loud.

Where the advice comes from

Written by the people who train the people who will interview you.

Interview Ready is built on twenty years of training global firms, universities, government agencies, elite military units and non-profits on how to hire — plus videotaped interviews with career advisors from MIT, Harvard and Williams College, and recruiters and hiring managers from prominent organizations.

“I haven't been on an interview in over ten years and the interviews I had didn't go so well. As I dove deeper into Interview Ready, my confidence grew more. For me, the assessment results were the best part. I felt in total control during my second interview and got an offer on the spot.”
Mike C. Rocky Hill, CT
“I was super excited when I finally got to the next step of my pharmacy school application, until I found out it entailed a group interview with three other candidates and four interviewers. Thanks to the individualized preparation Interview Ready provided, I was able to impress the panel with eloquent and confident answers. I was one of the first applicants offered a position within the school that year.”
