How should I answer 'why do you want this role?'

Connect it to their Series B announcement last week. It shows you actually follow them.

Good call. Anything else from my last interview?

You rushed the numbers in Q2. Slow down and let them land.

Where we stand

Get genuinely better. Don't cheat.

Some tools whisper answers during live interviews. We build skills before the real thing: practice, not cheating.

Cheating tools

  • Whisper answers into a live, real interview
  • Make you dependent, so you never actually improve
  • One detection sweep away from blacklisting you
  • Betray the interviewer's trust by design

Round Zero

  • Practice before the real interview, never during it
  • Build skills and a story that are actually yours
  • Evidence-backed feedback so you keep getting sharper
  • Walk in confident, and pass any integrity check

What people say

They applied less and converted more

"I used to freeze on 'tell me about yourself'. After three sessions I had a version I could actually say out loud. Got the offer."

Layla M.

Product Manager → fintech startup

"The resume tailoring is different. It doesn't puff you up. It just finds the real overlap and makes it visible. Hiring manager noticed."

James T.

Senior Engineer, relocated to Berlin

"I did 8 practice interviews before my panel round. The actual thing felt like déjà vu. Easiest offer I've ever gotten."

Sara K.

Data Scientist, series-B startup

FAQ

Questions about AI interview practice

What is Round Zero?

Round Zero is AI interview practice for job seekers. Run mock interviews by voice or text, get rubric scoring, and back it with resume tailoring, LinkedIn profile optimization, and company research.

How does AI mock interview practice work?

Pick a role or paste a job description, choose voice or text, and a live AI interviewer asks role-specific questions and pushes back on your answers. You get an evidence-backed score when you finish.

Is using AI to prepare for interviews cheating?

No. Round Zero is practice before the interview, never help during it. We build your skills so you walk in genuinely prepared. We don't make covert live-interview tools.

What kinds of interviews can I practice?

Behavioral, system design, PM, recruiter screens, and coding interviews. Pick from 887+ predefined roles by job title, or generate a custom interview from any job description you paste in.

Do I need a microphone to use it?

No. Text mode uses the same AI and scoring. Use voice when you want to practice speaking out loud.

Is Round Zero free?

Yes. Sign up with no card for one full scored interview, one resume tailor, one cover letter, one company research brief, and one LinkedIn profile audit. A one-time Job Search Pass unlocks unlimited access while you're actively hunting.

How is Round Zero different from reading interview questions?

Round Zero runs a live conversation. The AI listens to your answers, asks follow-ups, and scores you against a hiring rubric with quotes from your transcript. You practice performing, not memorizing.

Does Round Zero optimize LinkedIn profiles?

Yes. Import your profile with the browser extension for a scored audit: headline, about, experience, skills, and network signals. An agent then rewrites sections on request using only what's already on your profile, the same honest approach as our resume tailor.
