PrepMate is a smart mirror that helps you ace interviews by providing real-time feedback on your body language, facial expression, and answers, ensuring you are feeling confident and well-prepared.
PrepMate is designed for job seekers or anyone seeking to improve their interview skills, including facial expressions, body language, and communication. Through our various features, users can place themselves at an advantage in the interview process as PrepMate can assist in many ways ranging from managing interview schedule to reviewing practice interviews.
We are aiming to address common challenges faced by job seekers during their preparation journey and to create a more effective, engaging, and customized approach to interview practice.
Addressing Anxiety and Stress in Interviews: Many job seekers struggle with anxiety and stress before or during interviews. The smart mirror provides a safe and private environment to practice interviews, gradually building users’ confidence through real-time feedback and encouragement.
Enhancing Self-Awareness and Improvement: Self-evaluation is a critical aspect of interview preparation, but most people struggle to objectively assess their performance. By recording sessions and providing dynamic feedback, the mirror empowers users to identify strengths and areas for improvement, fostering continuous personal growth.
Convenience and Accessibility: By transforming a common household item into an advanced preparation tool, the smart mirror seamlessly fits into users’ routines without requiring additional dedicated devices or space. When not used for interview preparation, the smart mirror serves as a regular mirror, ensuring it remains a practical and non-intrusive part of the user’s home environment.
