INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background
Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven practice interviews are a big step forward
for job counseling. In the past, job applicants used self-practice or human-
led mock interviews as a means of interview preparation. But as artificial
intelligence has grown, new technologies that mimic actual interviews have
also surfaced, offering applicants tailored analysis and feedback. AI in this
context use NLP or ML to generate complex interview simulations but we
are using open AI assistance model. These tools evaluate and examine their
answers, and even forecast how well they would do in a live interview.
Even with these developments, there are still issues, especially when it
comes to issues like algorithmic bias and the requirement for more flexible
learning systems. Knowing the benefits and drawbacks of AI-driven mock
interviews is essential given the growing reliance on AI-based technologies
across a range of businesses. The present study endeavors to evaluate the
existing status of these technologies, pinpoint significant obstacles, and
suggest approaches to augment their efficacy in equipping job seekers for
triumphant interviews. The study aims to investigate how useful mobile
application such as JobWhiz: AI Interview Prep as a teaching aid is helpful
to under grades to become more proficient speakers of English to prepare
and ace the Job Interview.

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Background

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed how individuals prepare for
job interviews, shifting from traditional, manual methods to more interactive and
technology-driven approaches. Traditional practices, such as rehearsing with peers or
studying interview guides, often fail to replicate the dynamic and unpredictable
nature of real-life interviews. AI-powered platforms address this gap by providing
realistic mock interviews that simulate the pressure and complexity of actual
interviews. These tools leverage advanced algorithms to evaluate user responses,
offering detailed feedback that enhances both preparation and confidence.

AI-based interview systems are designed to be more than just practice tools—they
serve as personalized coaches that adapt to individual user needs. By integrating
features like emotion recognition, question adaptability, and real-time feedback,
these systems offer a comprehensive preparation experience that was previously
unattainable. Additionally, their accessibility and scalability make them appealing to
a broad audience, from first-time job seekers to experienced professionals aiming to
refine their skills.

Despite these advancements, challenges such as algorithmic biases, limited

contextual understanding, and data privacy concerns persist. These limitations
emphasize the need for continuous innovation to ensure these platforms remain
effective and fair. The ongoing development of AI technologies provides a
foundation for addressing these challenges and expanding the potential of mock
interview systems.

2.2 Related Work

AI-driven mock interview platforms have introduced new ways for job seekers to
practice and enhance their interview skills by offering personalized, data-driven, and
interactive solutions. Mandal et al. (2023) explored the integration of emotion and
confidence classifiers into mock interviews, providing real-time evaluations that
enable candidates to identify and work on specific weaknesses [1]. Their research
demonstrates how AI can enhance feedback precision without replacing the user's
role in their learning journey.

Miao et al. (2020) focused on the design aspects of AI systems, highlighting how
user-friendly interfaces and adaptive questioning improve the overall effectiveness of
mock interview applications [2]. This underscores the importance of designing tools
that complement, rather than overwhelm, candidates during their preparation process.
Platforms like HireVue and Aurora Cloud leverage AI to analyze responses and
provide structured feedback, allowing users to practice in environments that mimic
real-world scenarios while maintaining the simplicity and accessibility needed for
widespread adoption (HireVue, n.d.; Aurora Cloud, 2020) [6][7].

Despite these advancements, traditional methods like live coaching and self-practice
still hold value due to their personal touch and adaptability, as noted by Wilkie and
Rosendale (2024) [3]. However, AI platforms address the scalability and
accessibility issues inherent in traditional methods, making preparation more
inclusive. Chapman et al. (2003) emphasized that technology-mediated interviews
help candidates prepare in flexible, low-pressure environments, a key consideration
for those unfamiliar with high-stakes settings [9].

While existing solutions showcase the potential of AI, they often fall short in
offering a seamless blend of adaptability, affordability, and comprehensive feedback.
Horodyski (2023) highlighted that continuous refinement is needed to overcome
challenges like algorithmic bias and ensure fairness and transparency in these
systems [13]. This leaves a significant gap for innovative tools that can balance
cutting-edge technology with personalized, actionable, and user-centric insights.
