Interview prep workspace

Interview prep that starts with the actual job

Interview on the calendar? Get the questions this role is likely to bring, practice them out loud, and walk in with your stories ready.

Prep by job and stage

Recruiter screens, hiring-manager rounds, panels, and final conversations all need different prep. Hey Vitae organizes prep around the role you're interviewing for and the stage you're in — so you're not staring at a generic list of behavioral questions an hour before the call.

Turn job details into prep kits

Drop in the job description and Hey Vitae generates a tailored prep kit — likely questions, themes the recruiter will probe, where your resume aligns, and where it doesn't. You edit, add your stories, and walk in with a kit that actually matches the conversation.

Keep notes and follow-ups connected

Take notes during the conversation. Capture names, what landed, what didn't, what to send after. The thank-you nudge fires when you said it should. Next-round prep starts from what you learned in the last one — not from a blank page.

Practice before the conversation

Practice interviews let you rehearse out loud against the actual job — not a generic set of questions. Run through the answers you're worried about, see where they sound forced, and tighten before the real call. No mic, or nowhere quiet? The same interview runs as a typed thread — same questions, same scoring, same report, and you can pick it up later. No posting yet? Pick a role type and rehearse anyway — the AI still interviews you and scores how you did. Adding the real job is what makes it sharper: the questions come from that description and your answers get matched against your own evidence.

Hand the interviewer's seat to someone you know

Everyone says to do a mock interview with a friend. Almost nobody does, because the friend doesn't know what to ask or how to judge the answers. Send them a link from the prep kit and they get the packet: the role, what you're going for, questions worth asking, and how to push when an answer stays abstract. You bring the call — phone, video, kitchen table — and they run it. The scorecard asks them to name your weakest answer rather than rate you out of five, because friends are generous and that's exactly the problem. What they send back feeds the same read on you that your practice sessions do. Free on every plan.

Rehearse the hard conversations, not just Q&A

Some rounds aren't Q&A — they're a comp negotiation, a case or problem-solving exercise, a role-play, or the first-90-seconds small talk that sets the tone. In a simulation the AI plays the counterparty — the recruiter holding a band, the hiring manager running a case, the panelist making small talk — so you practice the actual back-and-forth and get a read on how you handled it, tied to the real role.

Round two starts where round one left off

Every practice session, prep kit, and reflection shows Hey Vitae where your answers hold up and where they keep slipping. The next round's prep starts there: your weak spots get the attention, and what you've already nailed gets left alone. No template that resets every time.

Walk in prepared, not panicked.

Free to start — every account sees the likely questions for its interviews and one sample answer written against its resume. The full prep for one interview is $12. Pro makes interview prep unlimited (fair use), adds stage-by-stage briefs and Deep Prep research before every interview, and includes 5 practice interviews a month.

Common questions

  • Can I track interviews and follow-ups?

    Yes. Interviews are first-class — you can prep with role-specific kits, log notes during and after, and schedule follow-up reminders. Threads from forwarded recruiter emails link to the right job automatically.

  • Does Hey Vitae's coaching learn from my interviews?

    Yes. As you practice and reflect on interviews, Hey Vitae builds a private picture of your strengths and the gaps you keep hitting, then uses it to tailor your next prep kit and practice session to you — and to recognize what you've already improved. It's coaching with continuity, not the same generic tips every time.

  • What is Hey Vitae?

    Hey Vitae is a job-search tool that leads with the interview. Pick the date and paste the posting, and you rehearse the interview you actually have, with an interviewer who has read the posting and feedback that quotes your own words and names the one thing to fix. Around it: your resume read the way a recruiter reads it, roles that fit, and every application and follow-up in one place. Tracking is free.

  • Is Hey Vitae just a resume tool?

    No. Resume scoring and tailoring are part of it, but Hey Vitae leads with the interview: prep and practice for the job you actually have, with every answer scored. Tracking, follow-ups, email, Spotlight pages and insights sit around it, which is how the prep knows the posting, your resume and how the last round went.

  • Is Hey Vitae free?

    Yes — Free tracks unlimited jobs, keeps 5 saved documents, includes practice drills and the likely questions for every interview, and lets you try the AI, with no card needed to start. One interview coming up? Its full prep is $12, no subscription. When your search picks up, Pro makes everything unlimited — match scores, cover-letter feedback and resume coaching on every job, a prep kit for every interview, Deep Prep research before each one, and 5 practice interviews a month. It's $29/month, or a $129 Job Search Pass for 6 months of access with no auto-renewal.

  • What do I get on Pro that I don't get free?

    Free is a real trial, not a demo: unlimited job tracking, practice drills, the likely questions for every interview and enough AI to score about a dozen jobs. The full prep for one interview is $12. Pro ($29/month, or a $129 Job Search Pass for 6 months of access) removes the caps — unlimited Apply IQ, unlimited resumes and cover letters, unlimited interview prep, a tailored Spotlight page for every job, Deep Prep research before every interview, and 5 practice interviews a month. The Job Search Pass is a one-time purchase that doesn't auto-renew, and its practice interviews are pooled across the six months rather than expiring monthly. Need more practice than the plan includes? A 5-interview pack is $15 on any plan, Free included.

  • Is my job search data private?

    Yes. Your tracked jobs, notes, documents, and emails are private to your account. Spotlight pages are only public if you choose to publish them — and you can keep them private or share role-specific links. See the privacy page for full details on data handling.
