# What to expect in your interview

> A fund's interview is one recorded call you take when it suits you. You pitch with your screen shared, then an AI interviewer asks questions out loud.

## Key takeaways

- The interview is one call in two parts. First you pitch with your screen shared and the camera on, then an AI interviewer asks questions out loud.
- The invitation shows how long each part lasts. The call stops on its own at the fund's time limit, usually 15 to 20 minutes.
- Before the call you tick what may be recorded and check your camera, microphone, screen share and connection. Nothing is recorded until you press Start.
- You need a computer with Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. On a phone you can take the text interview instead, if the fund offers it.
- The fund's people watch the recording and decide. The AI never sees your camera or screen, and you never see scores.

The fund sends the invitation by email and it appears in your workspace on the fund's portal under **Interview**, as **AI interview** (or **AI interview, in writing** for a text interview). Nobody from the fund joins the call: you take it whenever suits you before the invitation expires, in one sitting.

## The steps

A tracker at the top of the page shows where you are: **Consent**, **Device check**, **Pitch**, **Questions**, **Done**.

1. **Consent.** Read what the interview is, who sees the recording and how answers are assessed. Tick **Record my camera**, **Record my microphone** and **Record my shared screen**. The ones the fund needs are marked as required. See [Recording and consent](/help/your-interview/recording-and-consent).
2. **Device check.** Your browser asks for the camera and microphone. You see your camera, a microphone meter that moves when you speak, and **Test screen share**, which opens the browser's share dialog. The page then checks your connection. Nothing is recorded yet.
3. **Start the interview.** You confirm, and the timer starts. It can't be paused.
4. **Part 1, pitch.** Share your deck and pitch. The timer and the bar show the time left, with a **1 minute left** cue near the end. Press **Done pitching** when you finish, or the part ends at its limit. The interviewer stays silent.
5. **Part 2, questions.** The AI interviewer asks the fund's questions out loud, one at a time, with captions on screen. Answer out loud. Press **Repeat question** to hear it again. You can keep sharing your screen to show the product.
6. **Done.** The call stops at the fund's time limit, or when you press **End** and confirm. You see a receipt.

## Before you start

- Use a computer with a recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, and headphones if you have them.
- Open your deck first. In the share dialog choose **Tab** or **Window** and pick the deck, not the entire screen.
- Turn on Do Not Disturb so messages don't appear on the recording.
- Leave some time before and after the call so you aren't rushed.

## On a phone

Phone browsers can't share a screen, so the page asks you to **Switch to a computer for this interview**. Tap **Copy this page's link** to open it on your computer, or **Take the text interview** if the fund offers one.

## Time warnings

The time left shows at the top of the call. A message appears at 5 minutes, 2 minutes and 1 minute left. In the last minute the page says **Less than a minute left** and the interviewer wraps up. At the limit the call stops on its own and everything up to then is saved.

## Frequently asked questions

### What if my connection drops?
Come back within 10 minutes and press **Rejoin**. See [Rejoin an interrupted interview](/help/your-interview/resuming-an-interview).

### Is my accent or delivery judged?
No. The fund assesses what you say and the evidence you give, never accent, fluency, appearance or presentation polish. The AI interviewer hears your voice only.

### Can I see my scores?
No. You can read your transcript once it is ready and flag lines that were transcribed wrongly. See [Ask for a transcript correction](/help/your-interview/asking-for-a-correction).

### The page says camera and screen sharing need a secure connection.
Open the link from your invitation email. It uses a secure (https) address, which browsers need for the camera and screen sharing.
