How to prepare for an interview with this tool
Quick answer: To prepare for an interview with this tool, add your CV, paste the job ad, press Prepare my answers and practise out loud.
- Add your CV. PDF or Word, read on your device (or paste the text).
- Paste the job ad. The full ad: the questions come from what it asks for.
- Press Prepare my answers. Your CV text and the ad go through our server to Google's Gemini AI.
- Practise out loud. Turn each outline into a two-minute story in your own words. Add the details only you know.
What is the STAR method?
A simple shape for answering "Tell me about a time when…" questions: the Situation, your Task, the Action you took and the Result. Interviewers in the UK, Europe and the US use it, especially for competency-based interviews.
Only your real experience
The outlines draw on your CV and nothing else. A result or number that isn't in your CV is removed and replaced with a note to use a real example, so you never memorise something you can't back up.
What is sent
The text of your CV and the job ad, when you press the button, to Google's Gemini API. We don't store them or the answers. Google's terms let it use text sent through its free API to improve its products, and people at Google may read it, so take out anything you don't want shared (your phone number or address, for example).
Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
It's included with every Tailor My CV plan: one CV ($5, interview prep for 12 months), or a day ($9), week ($15) or month ($29) pass, for as long as the pass lasts.
Are these the exact questions I'll be asked?
No one can promise that. They're the questions most likely for this ad's requirements, plus the classics (why this job, a strength, a challenge).
Does it work for a resume as well as a CV?
Yes. Upload either; the outlines use what's in it.
Is my CV stored?
No. It's sent once to make your answers and isn't kept by us. Google may use it to improve its products under its API terms, so leave out details you don't want shared.
