“AI interview” can mean a recorded answer reviewed later, a conversational interviewer, a skills exercise or an ordinary call that uses AI tools. Identify the format from the invitation before preparing. The time limit, retake rules and permitted resources belong to that exact assessment, not to the category.

Prepare for the role, not a rumored question list#

Mark three requirements in the job description. For each, choose one real project that shows your contribution. Write a two-sentence summary, the decision you made and one piece of evidence. For a product role, a scenario might ask how you changed a roadmap after customer interviews. Explain which evidence changed your view and what trade-off followed.

Record or speak a first answer, then ask: “What did you personally do?”, “What would you change?” and “How did you know it worked?” A story bank, follow-up practice and behavioral rehearsal give you ways to test whether your answer holds together.

Check the boundary#

Review the provider's current invitation and rules for device, timing, recording, outside help and confidentiality. Preparation with your own material is different from receiving help during a live assessment. For example, micro1's candidate terms require original, unassisted answers unless expressly permitted. Check assistance rules before you start. If you want a project-based rehearsal, open MagicInterview; server-based practice is a Pro feature under the plan terms.

Start with one example#

Use the story-map worksheet to choose a role-relevant example, then the free preparation preview for three original rehearsal questions and one suggested answer. This limited text preview is separate from Pro spoken practice. Edit the sample against your own facts before saying it aloud.
