”Most candidates walk into interviews having rehearsed five questions in their head. MonkCV gives you 20, written specifically against your CV and the job you applied for, with tips on what to say to each one. Free, no sign-up. Built for the time-poor end of interview preparation.
Paste your CV and the job description into the two boxes. MonkCV reads both at the same time, identifies the areas a competent recruiter would actually probe — recent achievements, gaps in your timeline, technical depth on the stack the role requires, leadership prompts, behavioural questions, and the standard openers — and generates 20 questions tailored to that specific combination.
Each question comes with a short note on what the interviewer is actually checking for and a steer on how to structure the answer. The output is text you can copy into a doc, print out, or work through with a friend. It is built to be a practice script, not a finished answer set — the words still need to be yours.
The single biggest mistake interview candidates make is preparing by reading. Reading lists of likely questions gives you a false sense of readiness. What actually closes the gap is practising answers out loud, ideally to another person or into a recording, over several sessions. The first attempt at saying any answer is clumsy. By the fourth or fifth attempt it sounds like a real person who knows what they are talking about.
MonkCV gives you the right 20 questions to practise on — specific to your CV and this role, not a generic list — and lets you focus your time on the part that actually moves the needle. For the wider playbook on showing up calm and ready, see Interview Nerves: How to Stay Calm, Confident and Ready.
Anyone with an interview in the next two weeks. The tool is most useful 7 to 10 days out, which leaves enough time to do three practice sessions and tighten up the answers that come out shakily the first time.
It is especially valuable for people interviewing after a long stretch in one job (where you have not interviewed in years and the muscle has gone), career changers (where the obvious questions are not about your work history but about the transition), and senior candidates where the behavioural and leadership questions matter more than the technical ones. The questions adjust to all three.
How does the interview prep tool work?
Paste your CV and the job description. MonkCV reads both, identifies the most likely areas an interviewer will probe — gaps, recent achievements, technical depth, leadership questions, behavioural prompts — and generates 20 tailored interview questions with tips on what to say. Free, no sign-up, takes about a minute.
How many interview questions should I prepare?
Practice your answers to around 20 questions before a serious interview. That is enough to cover the categories that come up in almost every round — behavioural, situational, role-specific technical, leadership, and the inevitable "tell me about yourself" and "why us". Below 10 questions and you will hit blind spots. Above 30 and you start over-rehearsing and sound scripted.
Is the interview prep tool free?
Yes — no sign-up, no trial, no credit card. The AI costs MonkCV money per request, covered by optional donations from users who find the tools useful. The Support button in the footer is genuinely optional.
Are the questions specific to my CV or generic?
Specific to your CV and the job description you paste in. The tool reads both together. If you have a two-year gap on your CV, expect a question about it. If the role asks for cross-functional leadership, expect a behavioural prompt on a time you led across teams. The questions are the ones a competent recruiter would actually ask someone with your background applying for this role.
How should I practise answering the questions?
Out loud, not in your head. Saying an answer is a different skill from thinking it. Run through each of the 20 questions verbally, ideally to a friend or into a phone recording. The first time you say an answer it will be clumsy. By the fifth time it will be tight. That is the gap most candidates do not close in time. Around 15 minutes per question over a few sessions covers the full set.
Does this work for technical interviews?
For the behavioural, situational, and stakeholder-facing parts of a technical interview round — yes. The tool does not generate code questions or system design problems for you to whiteboard, but it does cover the "tell me about a difficult project", "walk me through your approach to X", and "why this stack" questions that almost every technical round includes. Pair it with role-specific technical practice elsewhere.
