[Start from a real opening on Jobs](https://openskill.ai/blog/practice-interviews-for-the-exact-job/#start-from-a-real-opening-on-jobs) 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](https://openskill.ai/), and run a mock interview tuned to it. It lands a lot closer to the conversation you’ll actually have. ## Start from a real opening on Jobs You do not need to find the posting yourself. [Jobs on openskill](https://app.openskill.ai/jobs) searches real, current openings from employers’ own career pages and job boards, and you can filter by country, work arrangement, employment type, date posted and company. Every job page has “Prepare for this interview”, which starts a mock interview tailored to that exact job, or you can discuss the role with the AI career coach, which can also find jobs for you in chat. You apply on the employer’s own site. [openskill](https://openskill.ai/) is a complete career platform: search millions of jobs with an AI-powered match score, practice any interview in one click, get scored feedback and track your applications. ## Questions, *answered.* ### Can it read a job posting from a URL?
