- Use first-person voice and lead with the action you personally took.
- Keep spoken answers to 60–120 seconds; written answers tighter.

- Do I need to sign up to use Seek Interview?
- No. The free preview works with no account — paste a job description and you can generate questions, build a structured answer, and try the resume scan immediately.
