- Paste the job posting or its URL
- Questions tuned to that company and level
- It reads the seniority and difficulty for you
- Your resume feeds the questions too
A generic question bank treats every job the same, which is the one thing interviews never do. A senior role at a big tech company probes differently from a full-stack job at an early startup, and a behavioral round looks nothing like a system design one. Practising against a generic template leaves you rehearsed for an interview that doesn’t exist.
Why generic questions don’t transfer
Companies interview against their own rubrics, and the depth and the bar shift with the company and the seniority. Practice that ignores that gets you comfortable answering the wrong questions, which can be worse than not practising at all.
Where the common workarounds fall short
The usual ways around this each leave a gap:
- Generic mock questions are tuned to a one-size template, so they can’t tell a high-growth startup’s bar from a large company’s rubric, and the practice never matches the room you’ll be in.
- Digging through Glassdoor and Reddit for “questions people got asked here” helps a little, though it’s a scattered pile of anecdotes and you still have to guess at the level and the format.
- Tailoring your own prep by hand is the right instinct and a slog, the kind that’s easy to skip when you’re applying to a dozen roles at once.
How openskill targets the role
openskill takes the job itself. Paste the posting as text, or drop in a URL from a major job board and it pulls the posting in for you. From there it infers the company tier, the difficulty, and the seniority, and feeds all of that into the interviewer so every question is tuned to that role.
Your resume goes in too, so the questions reference your background instead of a generic candidate. One posting, and you’re rehearsing against the right company, the right level, and your own experience, instead of a blended average of every job out there.
Rehearse for the role you want
Grab a posting for a role you want, paste it into openskill, and run a mock interview tuned to it. It lands a lot closer to the conversation you’ll actually have.
