Built by someone who's been on both sides of the table.
Interview Expert is a one-person company powered by AI. That's not a buzzword — it's the reason the price stays low, the iteration stays fast, and every coaching note has a real point of view behind it.
The founder story
I studied in the United States and learned English to near-native fluency. Then I worked as a foreigner at IBM, PwC, the world's largest advertising group, and a Top-100 architecture firm — international roles where English was the gate.
On the way through those rooms I've sat on both sides of the interview table. As the candidate, sweating through a competency interview at a Fortune 500. As the hiring manager, watching candidates with stronger résumés than mine fail to land their answers under pressure.
I noticed something specific: the people who lost the role weren't lacking ability. They were lacking the narrow, learnable skill of organizing past experience clearly when the clock is on and the language is their second.
Why traditional learning fails this audience
Taiwan's English 補習班 — and the equivalent in most Asian markets — were never designed for this. Fixed class times and generic curricula serve someone with two years to prepare and no specific destination. They don't serve a working professional who has 12 weeks until a hiring loop and needs to nail the answer to "tell me about a time you led through ambiguity" in a way that lands.
Mock interview AI tools have a different problem: they're built around simulation. Sitting through a 60-minute imitation interview tests how you perform — it doesn't teach you how to get better. The way you actually improve is by drilling one question, watching what could be sharper, and trying again.
The unfair advantage
Other AI interview tools have marketing teams, sales teams, customer success teams. We have one person and Claude. That's the entire operating model.
What that lets us do: keep the price meaningfully lower. Iterate weekly instead of quarterly. Make every coaching prompt encode an actual hiring-manager point of view rather than a generic "good interview answer" template.
What it asks of us in return: ruthless focus on the specific user who benefits most. Asian career-ambitious professionals interviewing in English. Not everyone. Not yet.
The mission
Help people with the skills, character, and ability to do the job — but not the language confidence to convince an interviewer of it — get the job anyway.
English is the gate. We're here to help you walk through it.
