Analyze my interview recordings and research the people interviewing me

The same job seeker (Business Insider essay, via B17 News) asked permission to record interviews, then ran the notes through AI for sentiment analysis — where she hesitated, used filler words, or where the interviewer leaned in. She also built an AI skill that takes a pasted LinkedIn profile and finds genuine similarities with her own background; one shared cheese-club membership with a recruiter carried her further than any cover letter.

How it works

  1. Ask recruiters using AI note-takers whether she may record too; most said no, some yes
  2. Feed the permitted notes to the AI for sentiment analysis: hesitation, filler words, moments the interviewer asked for specifics or laughed
  3. When recording isn't allowed, write down recollections immediately after and analyze those
  4. Paste an interviewer's LinkedIn profile into her AI skill
  5. The AI, which knows her background from their history, surfaces genuine similarities to open with

Why it’s worth knowing

Interview prep from the recording's sentiment, not the questions — and a shared cheese club beat every cover letter she wrote.
