Practise your English job interview the way it actually happens.
Not in your head. Out loud. With a real human asking real questions.
Cambiyo launches 1 July 2026. Real native speakers. Free waitlist.
The problem
You can rehearse interview answers in your head all week. The moment a real person says "tell me about a time when you handled a difficult colleague" and waits for you to answer in English, your brain stops cooperating.
This is not a confidence problem. It is not a vocabulary problem. It is a real-time performance problem.
Job interviews work differently from other English you do. At work, you have time. You can re-read a Slack message before you reply. You can write an email and edit it. You can mute yourself on a video call to think. In a job interview, none of that exists. The interviewer asks. You have about three seconds before the silence becomes uncomfortable. You speak. You either say the thing well or you don't.
You have probably already tried the obvious things. You wrote out your STAR-method answers. You practised them in front of the mirror. You may have used ChatGPT to do a mock interview. None of that prepares you for the part that actually happens: a real human, with a real face, asking you a follow-up question you weren't expecting.
You don't need to write more answers. You need to say your answers out loud, to real people, until the words come without thinking.
That is what we are building.
What we’re building
Cambiyo
You open the app. You see who is online. You filter by accent (including the American or British accent that may be on the other side of your interview). You see ratings, prices, profiles. You pick someone. You start talking.
Speakers set their own prices, starting from $5 an hour. You pay only for the time you spend talking. No subscription. No booking.
Every speaker is checked before they go live. They send a video selfie. We check their face, accent, and country. Anyone fake doesn't get on the platform.
They are not interview coaches. They are real native speakers (students, freelancers, retirees, anyone fluent in English who wants to earn from a conversation). Many of them work in English themselves and are happy to ask you mock interview questions. You can tell them what role you are interviewing for and ask them to play the interviewer.
The point is not that they will give you professional interview coaching. The point is that they will sit on the other end of a video call, ask you questions, and react to your answers like a real human. That is the muscle the interview needs.
What practice looks like in the week before your interview
It's seven days before the interview. You have an hour after work each evening. You log in to Cambiyo and ask Sarah to ask you the standard interview questions. She does. You answer. She asks follow-up questions you weren't expecting. By the third evening, the questions you were dreading are starting to come out smoothly.
It's the weekend before. You don't want to overprepare, but you want to keep the rhythm. You spend 45 minutes on Saturday talking to Jake about his job in tech, asking him what kinds of questions he has been asked in interviews. By the end of it, you have rehearsed three answers without realising you were rehearsing.
It's the morning of the interview. You wake up early. You spend 20 minutes on Cambiyo just talking to whoever is online. About anything: the weather, what they did at the weekend, a film. The point is to arrive at the interview already in English mode, not switching from your native language for the first time that day.
The interview goes differently. The follow-up questions don't catch you off guard. The "tell me about a time when" answers come out the way you practised them, not a forced version. You stop being held back by something you can fix.
