DryRun

DryRun builds a spoken mock interview from your CV and the job posting, runs it with a talking video interviewer who follows up on weak answers, and gives specific coaching drawn from what you actually said. Roughly fifteen minutes per session, three attempts per interview.

DryRun is an interview rehearsal tool built around a simple premise: knowing the answer and delivering it under pressure are separate skills. You upload your CV and the job posting, and the service constructs a spoken interview aimed at the gap between what your background shows and what the role asks for. Rather than drawing from a generic question bank, it works from the two documents you supply and targets the areas where your experience looks thin. The interviewer appears as a speaking video avatar. You pick a face, give them a name and choose an accent, and they ask questions, react to your replies and follow up. Vague answers get probed, skipped details get revisited, and strong answers are acknowledged before the session moves on. Only the microphone is used, so the camera can stay off even though the interviewer is on screen. Sessions run around fifteen minutes, close to a real screening, and each interview allows three full attempts with questions that reset and re-adapt. Before the session you can add optional context: how a previous round went, what you expect the next one to focus on, or anything else relevant. DryRun uses this to skip ground you have already covered and press on what remains untested, which makes repeat practice for a multi-stage process more useful than starting from scratch each time. When the interview ends, the coaching quotes your actual answers and names what landed and what fell short, framed as specific guidance rather than a numeric score. The tool suits candidates preparing for a live round who want to rehearse out loud, and it has a separate offering for schools running career guidance or Transition Year programmes. It does not claim to predict the questions you will face. Elsewhere in this directory, question generators and resume tools cover the written side of preparation; DryRun occupies the spoken, adversarial slot, closer to a mock interview with a person than to a list of prompts.
