What problem does it solve? Preparing for a hiring manager phone screen is hard to practice alone — you need a realistic interviewer who probes your answers, plus structured feedback on what landed and what didn't. This Skill runs a timed 30-minute Netflix-style HM phone screen as live role-play, then switches to coach mode to score your answers and persist the session. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Live HM role-play: Simulates a 30-minute manager phone screen with three grounded personas (Studio Data Platform, Member Insights, Content Ingestion HMs), a calibrated phase format, and a ~25-question bank with follow-up probes. - Per-answer micro-feedback: Breaks character after each substantive answer to give worked/missed/sharpen feedback, with an opt-out exam mode for full dress-rehearsal realism. - Coach-mode debrief and persistence: Scores answers against a five-axis rubric (communication, career coherence, ownership, technical depth, culture alignment), writes a session log to interviews/, and updates the knowledge base with new stories and gaps. - Use Case: A candidate with a Netflix Data Science Engineering HM screen next week says "mock hiring manager" and runs a full timed simulation, gets probed on their conflict story, receives a scored debrief, and has a fix list before the real call. ## Quick Start Say "mock hiring manager" or "let's practice the manager phone screen" to start a 30-minute simulated Netflix HM interview with feedback and a scored debrief.

FAQPage Schema
How do I practice a hiring manager phone screen with AI?▼

Say "mock hiring manager" or "let's practice the manager screen" to start a 30-minute simulated Netflix HM phone screen. The skill role-plays a hiring manager persona, asks questions from a calibrated bank, probes weak answers, and ends with a scored coach-mode debrief.

What questions does a Netflix hiring manager ask in a phone screen?▼

The question bank covers career arc and motivation, project deep-dives with hardest-decision probes, technical trade-offs, and conflict or accountability stories. Follow-up probes push for specific numbers, decision ownership, and what you would do differently.

Can I run a mock interview without feedback between questions?▼

Yes, say "exam mode", "run it real", or "dress rehearsal" at session start to disable per-question feedback. The full coach-mode debrief with scoring still runs at the end of the mock.

How are mock interview answers scored?▼

Answers are scored on five axes: communication, career coherence, project ownership, technical depth, and culture alignment. Each axis gets a strong/mixed/weak rating with evidence bullets and one fix, plus a headline read calibrated to a Netflix Senior/Staff DE bar.

Does the mock interview save results for later sessions?▼

Yes, each session is written to interviews/mock-hm-<date>-<NN>.md with the persona, questions, scores, and debrief. New stories and gaps surfaced during the mock are persisted to the knowledge base for future sessions.
