Forget generic guides and practicing with friends—Google is changing the game in job interview preparation. The tech giant has introduced the Interview Warmup tool, an AI-driven resource designed to help you prepare for interviews across various roles. This innovative tool asks common interview questions, such as the classic "Tell me about yourself," and analyzes your spoken or typed responses to identify areas for improvement. You'll receive insights on overused words and suggestions on how to enhance specific topics in your answers.
Targeted primarily at users of Google Career Certificates, Interview Warmup features role-specific questions but also includes general interview inquiries, with plans to expand coverage for a broader audience. Currently, this tool is exclusive to users in the US.
While AI has primarily supported companies in their hiring processes, this tool shifts the focus to candidates, offering a valuable resource for sharpening interview skills. Although it may not entirely equal the playing field, it can certainly enhance your preparation for upcoming interviews.
