20+ Mocky sessions later, he landed an all-English interview at an overseas startup

Background: why he decided to take on foreign companies

He was working in customer service in a traditional industry. The job was stable, but there was limited room to grow. This February he decided to seriously change tracks, targeting foreign companies or roles with high English demand, while keeping four role directions open: PM, Data Analysis, Customer Service, and Sales Operations.

He had a direction, but most foreign companies require all-English interviews. For an entry-level job seeker that is a high bar, and the problem was not only language. As he put it in the interview: "Taiwanese people aren't actually that strong at organizing and presenting themselves." That sentence captures what almost every job seeker moving into foreign companies feels. You can understand English when you hear it and read it, but structuring your experience in English within 30 seconds, and saying it so a foreign interviewer thinks "this person is worth the next round," is a completely different skill.

And he was entry level. In many areas he had only surface experience with the questions, and he needed far more than speaking practice. What he wanted to understand was: what are interviewers in this field thinking, and what kind of answer are they hoping to hear?

Why he started using Mocky, and what he discovered

His first approach was reasonable. He paid for ChatGPT Plus and used it to help write his resume and generate STAR-structured answer scripts, and he tried other similar AI tools too. The content quality was fine. But he quickly noticed a key gap: these tools were not good enough at being real-time. They could produce decent scripts, but they couldn't simulate the back-and-forth of a live interview, the follow-ups, the interruptions, the rhythm. In his words: "That real-time feel just isn't as good on those tools as it is on your platform."

That was the starting point for switching to Mocky. He uploaded the job description and his CV directly, and the system generated targeted questions from those two documents, with no need to design lots of prompts himself. He specifically mentioned that the biggest difference with Mocky's interface is that it makes preparing for an interview very low-friction. Drop the same CV in with different JDs and you get different versions of the self-introduction and follow-up questions. He found that especially useful, because the four directions he was applying to each emphasize different things.

Something he hadn't expected: through round after round of mock practice, he gradually grasped what interviewers in each field care about. For an entry-level candidate, that internalized intuition is more valuable than any example script.

The practice routine behind the success

He didn't only use Mocky. He put Mocky inside a larger workflow that he refined step by step himself.

Step 1: Open Mocky, upload the target role's JD and his own CV. After the system generated questions, he would switch to the text view.

Step 2: For harder questions, he would drop that question into ChatGPT and ask it to produce a STAR-structured answer based on the CV and personal projects he had shared before.

Step 3: Back in Mocky, he would speak that answer out loud and let Mocky throw the next follow-up question. The point was to practice rhythm and presence, to "say" what he had written rather than "read" it.

Step 4 (game day): He also kept a TXT note that organized the high-probability questions and prepared answers into a cheat sheet. During the actual video interview, when a matching question came up, he could glance at it.

On Mocky's interview modes: he would switch between them. For the same PM role, he would run it once in General, then once in Technical PM, and compare how the questions differed. His phrasing was "it really can prepare you for a specific role." For the same JD, he would practice on Mocky until he was satisfied, more than 20 times in total.

Finally, he saw a role on Worca that closely matched his direction. It was a startup headquartered overseas with no physical office in Taiwan, offering a fully remote position, with a foreign hiring manager and an all-English process. Because he had already run so many rounds of mock Q&A, he could mostly anticipate what they would ask and how to answer in a way that matched what they wanted to hear. He described that interview round as "a pretty good practice run."

He landed that offer. One more detail: he subscribed to ChatGPT Plus while job hunting, but cancelled it once he got hired. He is willing to pay for job-search preparation, but only for the stretch of time he actually needs it.
