I'd put the service behind a clear API contract, then add idempotency keys and a retry queue before anything touches the ledger…
Why it matters

Knowing the answer and delivering it are two different things.

You can have the experience, know your story, and still freeze or ramble the moment you're in the room. Knowing an answer and delivering it out loud, under pressure, to someone watching you, are different skills — and the second is the one that gets you the job. Most people never practise it. DryRun is where you do.

Custom Interview Practice

An interview built from your CV and the actual job.

DryRun reads your CV and the job posting, finds the gap between where you are and what the role wants, and builds your interview around exactly that — not a generic question bank.

Context

Tell it what it's walking into.

Beyond your CV and the posting, you can add context for each interview, how your last round actually went, what you know this one will focus on, anything else that matters. DryRun uses it to target the interview: skipping what you've covered, pressing on what's coming.

Your answer

“I flagged the slip early, reset expectations with the team, and got us back on track. The project still launched, just a week later than planned...”

What worked

You owned the miss and named the root cause without deflecting.

Where to sharpen

Close with the outcome — what changed after you stepped in.

Coaching

Honest coaching after every attempt.

When you finish, DryRun tells you the truth. What actually landed, and exactly what to sharpen, drawn from your real answers. Specific, principle-based feedback you can act on. Not a score out of ten.

Your interviewer · your name, your accent
Your interviewer

A real presence across the desk.

Choose your interviewer's face, give them a name, pick their accent, and they show up as a real, speaking video interviewer. They look at you, ask the questions, and react to what you say, so you're practising eye contact and delivery, not talking into a faceless app.

What makes it different

Interview practice that pushes back.

1

Built around your gaps, not a question bank

It reads your CV against the real posting and works out where you're thin, then asks about exactly that.

2

It listens, and it doesn't let things go

Give a vague answer and it asks why. Skip the detail and it comes back for it. Answer well and it acknowledges it and moves on, like a real interviewer would.

3

Every interview round, informed by the last

Add the next round and it skips what you've already covered, pressing harder on what's still untested.

4

Coaching drawn from what you actually said

Not generic advice. It quotes your real answers back and tells you what landed, what fell short, and how to fix it.

Questions

Good to know.

Is this the exact interview I'll get?+

No, and we won't pretend otherwise. DryRun is realistic practice for the role, not a prediction of the questions. It rehearses you on what the role actually demands so nothing catches you cold.

What do I need to start?+

Your CV, the job posting, a microphone and a quiet space. No camera needed. Adding context, how a previous round went, what this one focuses on, is optional, but it makes the interview sharper.

Do I need to be on camera?+

No. Your interviewer is on video, you just talk to them. Only your microphone is used, your camera stays off.

How long does an interview take?+

Around 15 minutes, straight through, close to the length of a real screening or round.

How many attempts do I get per interview?+

You get three full attempts at each interview. The questions reset and re-adapt on each attempt, so you get a new experience each time.

Is my CV and job posting kept private?+

Yes. Your uploads are used to build your interview and coaching, nothing more.
