Pre-Interview Hype and Post-Interview Workflows

What if you could get line-by-line feedback on every interview answer you gave, predict questions before you walk in, and surface stories you didn't know you had? Noam Segal, Lenny's Community Research Lead, interviewed over 30 tech professionals about how they use AI throughout the interview process, and used the findings to build a free Claude Code-based interview coach. His coach encodes every successful interview technique he uncovered (and then some), making it an invaluable tool you can plug into your job search today.

In this episode, you'll learn:

· Why interview prep is broken (and why there's no usable feedback loop)

· How the most successful candidates built AI systems to close the gap

· What the free AI Interview Coach does and how to set it up

· How to stop sounding like every other candidate who prepped with AI

· The action checklist for before, during, and after every interview
