Exploring AI-Assisted Interview Prep (Linkjob.ai) — Thoughts & Experiences?

[Ethan Walker]

Hi everyone,

I’m interested in how AI tools are being used to support career transitions, interview preparation, and communication skills — especially for technical roles. I recently came across Linkjob.ai (https://www.linkjob.ai
), an AI interview assistant that offers mock interview simulations, smart question analysis, and guided answer suggestions for both technical and behavioral interviews.

What piqued my interest is how these tools interpret prompts and generate structured feedback — something that feels a bit like a blend of NLP + domain knowledge inference, which naturally appeals to the coding/AI mindset here.

A few aspects that stood out:

Mock interviews with context: The platform tries to tailor questions and responses based on your resume and role focus.

Smart question analysis: Beyond suggesting answers, it attempts to unpack what the question is really assessing.

Response guidance: It offers structured suggestions rather than just raw text, which makes it feel closer to a practice partner than a static answer list.

I’m curious how other folks view this category of tools, especially from a technical communication perspective:

Have you used Linkjob.ai or similar tools for technical interview prep? What were your takeaways?

Do you think tools like this help reinforce conceptual clarity versus just pattern matching common interview questions?

How would you compare AI-driven interview simulation to more manual approaches (peer mock interviews, whiteboarding practice, coding challenges, etc.)?

I’m not trying to advocate for any specific product — just interested in how these AI workflows are emerging and whether they genuinely help improve the thinking & explanation side of interviews for technical roles.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
