• It helps tailor answers to your specific experiences and skills.
• Formulate responses that best represent you.
• Provides feedback and constructive criticism.

With its help, you can simulate various interview situations, from common questions to industry-specific scenarios. Its benefits also include broadening your perspective and boosting your confidence.
