ChatGPT vs InterviewHack
ChatGPT is a great tutor. It's a poor interviewer.
ChatGPT will happily draft answers to generic questions. What it can't do is research the specific people across the table, cross it with your real CV, or sit you down and make you say your answers out loud until they land.
If you've been pasting the job description into ChatGPT, you already know it gives useful, generic prep. The gap is everything that makes an interview specific: who is actually asking, what your CV honestly supports, and whether you can say it under pressure. That's the part interviews are won and lost on — and it's exactly what a chat window can't do.

To be fair: ChatGPT is cheaper, instant, and brilliant as a general tutor — for brushing up a concept or rewording a bullet, it's hard to beat. If all you need is a quick sanity check, use it.
But an interview isn't a quiz — it's a specific room with specific people. InterviewHack researches that room, grounds everything in your real experience, and makes you rehearse out loud until you're ready.
Can ChatGPT prepare you for a job interview?+
For generic questions, yes. But it can't research the specific people interviewing you, verify claims against your real CV, or make you practice answers out loud — which is where interviews are actually decided.
Why is InterviewHack better than ChatGPT for interviews?+
It researches your actual panel, grounds every answer in your real CV (nothing invented), runs a live AI voice mock that coaches you, and tracks a readiness score — none of which a chat window does.
Is it worth paying when ChatGPT is free?+
Your first tailored CV and first interview are free. The paid part is the live practice and the researched dossier — the work a general chatbot fundamentally can't do.
