Frequently asked questions

One person — Max K., an engineering manager and software engineer in Reno, Nevada, who wrote the code, runs the servers, and answers the mail. The About page says who, how InterviewMe makes money, what your AI will and won’t do, and what the site never does.

A free, one-page interactive résumé. You get a profile at your own address — interviewme.now/@you — with your highlights, your résumé, your work, and a chat box. Anyone who lands on it can type a question, and an AI answers on your behalf using only the material you provided. You see every question that was asked and every answer it gave.

Yes. The profile, the chat, email alerts when a new question arrives, and your analytics dashboard are free and stay free. Premium is an optional upgrade that adds depth — it is never required to have a working, shareable profile.

About ten minutes. Upload a résumé and answer a few questions in a short guided interview; the answers become material your profile can draw on. You can add more documents, highlights, and portfolio pieces whenever you like.

Put the link wherever a job application asks for a website or portfolio, in your email signature, and in your social bios. Every profile has a permanent link; you can also choose a handle so the address reads interviewme.now/@yourname.

It answers only from what you gave it — your résumé, your documents, and your own words from the interview. It does not invent a career from your job titles, and when your material does not cover a question it says so rather than guessing. Your page states plainly that the answers are AI-generated on your behalf, so no visitor is misled into thinking they are chatting with you live.

Yes — every question and every answer, in full. If an answer is thin or off, you fix it by adding the material that was missing. Most people find the questions themselves are the useful part: they are real, current feedback on what employers want to know.

Yes. New-question email alerts are free, and you choose the pace in Settings: as they happen, hourly, daily, or off.

Your profile page is public by design — it is a link you hand out, and visitors need no account to read it or ask it a question. Downloading your résumé is a separate permission: by default it requires a signed-in account, and in Settings you can open it to anyone, restrict it to paying hiring accounts, limit it to people you have shared contact details with, or turn it off entirely.

No. Your analytics show counts — views, questions, search appearances, shortlists, résumé downloads, and which sites sent visitors your way — never who was behind them. You do see every question asked, in full.

An optional short name for your address: interviewme.now/@yourname. Handles are 3 to 64 characters of lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens. Your original link keeps working even after you choose one.

Yes. Settings offers both a pause — deactivate, which takes your profile offline and can be reversed — and permanent deletion. The Privacy Policy describes exactly what is removed and how your material is handled while your account is active.

Yes. The job tools are job application tracking, job fit assessment, cover letter generation, and custom résumé generation. To use them, sign in and click the “Job Tools” button in the navigation bar at the top of the page (on a narrow screen it shows as a briefcase icon); it opens your Applications page. Paste a job posting there and InterviewMe keeps track of the application, estimates how well you fit the role, drafts a cover letter, and writes a version of your résumé for that job — all from the documents you have already added. See the job-hunting tools.

Click “Job Tools” to open your Applications page, then paste a job link or the job description into the box at the top. Each paste adds the job to your list, with the company, title, salary, and other details filled in from the posting; “Add manually” starts a blank entry instead. The day you add a job is recorded as the day you applied, and you can change it. Click any row to correct its details, keep notes, and mark when the employer viewed your application or responded. You can also search the list, choose which columns it shows, and archive or delete applications you no longer need.

Both are drafts. A cover letter can be edited right on the page: open the application, change the text, and save. To have either one rewritten, click “Regenerate…” and say what to change — shorter, a different tone, more about one part of your experience. The new version replaces the current one, so download a version you want to keep first; a résumé you saved to your résumés stays. The tools write only from your own material, so if something is missing or wrong, add or correct it in your Documents and regenerate. Regenerating a cover letter is free; a regenerated résumé counts as one of your tailored résumés — free accounts get 5 a day, plus 20 to start, and Premium makes them unlimited.

On your Applications page, “Default instructions” holds standing instructions that are used every time — one box for every cover letter, one for every tailored résumé — for things like tone, length, or which experience to emphasize. “Regenerate…” on a cover letter or a résumé takes instructions for that one version. For a résumé, when “Tailor a résumé” is checked, the menu under it lets you pick which of your stored résumés the new one starts from, or “(Create a new résumé)” to have one written from your documents. For a cover letter, “Signature…” edits the signature block every letter ends with. Instructions can change the length, tone, emphasis, and what is included, but they cannot add experience your material does not show.

On your Applications page, click “Export” above the list and choose “CSV”. The file opens in any spreadsheet program and holds every application, archived ones included: the company, job title, role, salary and benefits, the posting link, the date you applied, the dates the employer viewed your application and responded, your notes, and the job description. Export is free on every account. Cover letters and tailored résumés download separately, from each application: a cover letter as a text file (or a PDF with Premium), a résumé as a PDF.

Premium is $19 a month or $190 a year. It adds the exact text of the searches hirers ran when your profile came up, trend charts, a full year of analytics history with custom date ranges, spreadsheet export, up to 12 stored résumés (free accounts keep 5), up to 5 portfolios (free accounts have 1), profile background images, a badge, and on every fit estimate what matters most to that employer and what the posting says between the lines. The full list is on the Premium page.

Yes: a free year of Premium. It is an honor system — no proof, no card, no deadline, one free year per account — and it applies to existing Premium members too. Everything about it is on the between-jobs page.

Yes. Free accounts can store up to 5 résumés and choose which one the profile offers for download; Premium raises the limit to 12, so you can keep one tailored to each kind of role.

Anyone can open a profile and ask it questions, no account needed. A Recruiter account adds search across every profile in plain English — describe the person you are looking for rather than matching keywords — plus folders to organize candidates and the ability to put a question to a whole list at once.

$48 a month or $480 a year. Profile owners see the questions their profile is asked, as on any visit; searches and shortlists reach them only as counts.
