Click the button below to start. Your AI interviewer will greet you and begin the conversation.
Speaking your pitch out loud reveals vague language, missing data points, and areas where you lack confidence before the real conversation.
Repetition reduces anxiety. Each practice session makes your delivery smoother and helps you stay composed when your boss pushes back.
The AI challenges weak arguments and highlights where you need more specifics. You'll enter the real negotiation with a tighter, more persuasive pitch.
Practice responding to common pushback like "budget constraints" or "it's not the right time" so you're not caught off guard.
Before the conversation, gather your thoughts on your feelings about the situation, any questions you want to ask, and consider what you want to achieve from the discussion.
Take deep breaths, focus on listening actively, and remind yourself that it's okay to express your feelings. Staying calm will help you communicate more effectively.
Ask for clarity about the reasons for the layoff, inquire about severance packages, and seek guidance on next steps for your career.
Send a thank-you email expressing your appreciation for their time, and reiterate any key points discussed, along with any questions that remain unanswered.
