# Round Zero > Free AI mock interview practice for any job: nursing, trades, security, teaching, sales, tech. Scored on a real hiring rubric, with the answer that cost you. Round Zero is AI interview practice for any job. You run a live mock interview by voice or text against an AI that asks role-specific questions and pushes back on vague answers, then get scored against a hiring rubric that quotes your own transcript back to you and shows the exact answer that cost you points and what to say instead. It is practice BEFORE an interview, never assistance during one. Round Zero does not make covert live-interview tools and does not sell answer-whispering. ## What it does - **Live mock interviews**: Real-time voice or text interview with an AI interviewer that adapts, asks follow-ups, rotates behavioral, situational and technical questions, and quotes requirements from the job description you gave it. Not a static question list. - **Evidence-backed scoring**: After every session, a rubric scorecard citing direct transcript quotes, delivery metrics (pace, fillers, structure), a thank-you email draft, and questions to ask the panel. - **Any job, not just tech**: Prepared interviews for registered nurses, paramedics, medical assistants, home health aides, dietitians, pilots, personal trainers, accountants, security analysts, electricians, teachers and hundreds more. You can also paste any job description and get an interview built from it. - **Beyond interviews**: A full scored room for salary and raise negotiation, against a counterpart who does not fold. Presentation and performance-review pages run a single scored question each. Plus per-skill learning tracks that turn any named skill into lessons, drills and a scored mock exam. - **Honest resume tailoring**: Reshapes your resume against a job description using only what is already on it. Match score and gap report. It never invents experience. - **LinkedIn optimizer**: Scored audit of headline, about, experience, skills and network signals, with rewrites grounded in what you already wrote. - **Company research**: A brief on the company and role, wired into the interviewer so your answers land specific. - **Application tracker and browser extension**: Clip jobs from LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Lever or any board; each application card links to its tailored resume, recordings and scorecard. - **Shareable career page**: Turn your profile into a public page at /p/your-name. ## Who it is for Job seekers preparing for interviews in any field, including nursing and healthcare, skilled trades, security and compliance, education, sales, finance, and technology. Also used by people already in a job who are preparing for a salary or raise negotiation, and by students working through a skill track toward a scored mock exam. ## Pricing Free includes 3 full scored interviews with no card required.
