Find out how artificial intelligence can help you prepare for the first door to a future job. Use these free tools to practice potential questions and learn vocabulary related to your sector.
If you know English but don’t feel prepared to conduct a job interview in this language, you should know that there is a wide variety of free online tools at your disposal that you can use to practice interviews and adjust your language level so that you can do well in that first meeting with the company.
In this globalized labor market, it is essential to have a good level of English. But the desired level is not always achieved and many times it is due to lack of time and it is in these cases where these tools can help.
Translate your CV, search for jobs and write about your skills with ChatGPT
First of all, you should remember that ChatGPT is your ally. If you haven’t already, you can ask it to generate a CV in English suitable for the specific interview you are planning to apply for. Along the same lines, you can ask it to show you any job offers that are still open in your sector.
Once you have found one, you can send the chatbot a list of your skills and profile so that it can write the list in English and also recommend positive changes that you can make or synonyms to consider, which will help you expand your vocabulary while you design your new profile.
Conduct practice interviews with a chatbot
If you find yourself lacking fluency in vocabulary, this online tool can help. With ChatGPT you can practice writing answers to questions that it can suggest to you and, once sent, the chatbot will take care of correcting aspects of grammar or suggesting synonyms for swear words. As with the list of skills, ChatGPT can polish the answers you would give and, if you practice them, you will end up familiarizing yourself with the structure and keywords.
You can also simulate interviews with a roleplay in which you will be asked possible questions and you will answer them as if it were a real interview. This will help you to lose your fear and, with the feedback you can ask for, you will learn to improve your answers.
Practice your interviews and become an expert with Interview Warmup
Google’s Interview Warmup platform offers you typical interview questions such as what you are looking for in your next job, your strengths, a time when you made a mistake and how you were able to fix it, giving information about yourself, among others. You should try to answer these questions through audio so you can practice your diction and review possible topics that may arise.
The great thing about this tool is that once you have submitted your answer, it offers you alternative phrases or more appropriate terms according to your profession or the field in which you work. Interview Warmup also shows the most frequent terms in your vocabulary and the points you have covered. Once you have finished, you have the option to repeat the same questions to reinforce your learning, or, alternatively, you can choose new questions and cover new sectors.

This tool is especially useful if your industry is related to digital marketing, cybersecurity, data analysis, digital commerce, project management or derivatives. Along these lines, to reinforce specific terminology, you can use Google Word Coach, entering this same title in the search engine, to remember certain words or synonyms. Likewise, tools like Grammarly can help you polish your resume and give it the necessary touch with the most appropriate terminology for each case.
Similarly, you can choose a series of recurring questions geared towards your sector and, using only your mobile phone camera, you can record yourself answering them and then watch the videos to evaluate how you deal with them and which questions you feel most uncomfortable answering, so you can continue practicing them.
