DryRun gives your students a face-to-face video interview for a real entry-level job. They sit across from an interviewer they can see and talk to — one who listens, follows up, and coaches them honestly afterwards. Practising against a real face is exactly what a nervous first-timer needs before the real thing.
From a library of real entry-level jobs. No CV or job posting needed.
Face to face on video, around fifteen minutes. They see and talk to the interviewer, who listens, responds, and follows up on thin answers the way a real one would.
Specific, honest feedback on what they actually said. What worked, what to sharpen. No score out of ten.
Every interview comes with three full attempts, each drawing a fresh set of questions. Students learn, then improve, then polish. Never one and done.
Each role is a complete interview, written for that job. The questions a real manager would ask, at the level a first-time applicant would face.
DryRun won't tell them the questions they'll be asked. What it gives them is a realistic interview experience. They've sat across from an interviewer, spoken their answers out loud, been pushed on the vague ones, heard what landed and what didn't, and done it enough times that the room stops being frightening. That's what changes how a first interview goes.
Interviews and interviewer conduct are written for the entry-level jobs students actually apply for: professional, encouraging, never inappropriate.
The interviewer appears on video so the practice feels face to face, but the student is never filmed. No webcam is needed or used — they simply speak into their microphone.
A student's spoken answers are used to run the interview and generate their coaching, then handled per our retention policy.
Interviews produce coaching for the student, with no scores, no rankings, no pass or fail. Nothing about a student is graded or compared.
DryRun is operated in line with GDPR, with a data processing agreement available for schools.

We'll walk you through a real interview and the coaching a student gets.
