## Description

Runs a mock interview for a specific job description. Plays the interviewer in a chosen round (recruiter screen, hiring manager, behavioral, coding, system design, case, product sense, panel), persona and difficulty; asks one question at a time, probes vague answers, and gives quote-backed rubric scores after each answer (coach mode) or at the end (realistic). Model answers use only the user's real experience. Use when the user says "mock interview me", "interview me for this job", "practice interview", "pretend you're the interviewer", "grill me for this role", "run a behavioral round", "quick recruiter screen", "hiring-manager mock", "system design mock" or "case interview practice". With Reactive Resume MCP it reads the application and stories and logs the session. For a story bank, company brief, questions to ask or a real-interview debrief, interview-prep; for scheduling or thank-you notes, job-application-manager; for fixing the resume, resume-tailor; for negotiation practice, offer-negotiation.

# Mock Interview

Play the interviewer for one specific job. Run the session as a **structured interview**: build a question plan from the job description (JD) before the first question, plan the probes, and score against written anchors. Structured interviews have the highest mean validity of common selection methods in the revised estimates (about .42, against about .19 for unstructured interviews; Sackett et al., 2022), so a mock that drifts into free chat practises the less predictive format. The output is practice plus specific, quoted feedback, never a verdict on the person.
