How a live session works

Four steps, about two minutes. The third one is where almost everyone gets stuck, so it has the most detail.

The sharing box is at 0:15 — that is the step most people miss. Open it in a new tab if the player does not load.
  1. 1

    Add your CV

    Everything Answers Ready suggests is built from this. It is what keeps an answer yours rather than a model answer with your name on it — and it is why the coach will not claim experience you have not got. An answer that collapses under one follow-up question is worse than no answer.

  2. 2

    Paste the job posting

    The whole advert, boilerplate and all. Job boards publish a few hundred characters of company blurb, so a match worked out from a search result would be worked out from nothing. With the real posting you get a match score, a prep sheet for that role, and a CV aimed at it.

  3. 3

    Start the session and share the meeting's audio

    Press Start, pick the tab your meeting is in, and tick Also share tab audio — on some versions it reads Share system audio.

    Leaving that box unticked is the usual reason only your own voice comes through. There is no error — the coach simply never hears a question, so nothing appears.

    The meeting and this page can be in separate windows, side by side — what is captured is the tab you pick in the sharing box, not whichever window you are looking at. This page removes itself from that box, so you cannot share it by mistake.

    What works

    • Chrome or Edge — share the meeting's tab. Picks up Meet, Teams or Zoom running in a browser tab.
    • Chrome or Edge on Windows — share the whole screen. Picks up the desktop Teams and Zoom apps as well.

    What does not

    • The desktop Teams or Zoom app on a Mac — join in a browser tab instead — macOS gives a browser no audio from a screen share.
    • Safari, or any browser on a phone or tablet — use Chrome or Edge on a laptop — screen capture is not implemented on mobile at all, on Android or on iOS.

    You can prove all of this before the day: check your setup costs no credits and takes two minutes. Finding out mid-interview is the thing worth spending two minutes to avoid.

  4. 4

    Pop the panel out, beside your call

    Press Pop out and the suggested answer floats in its own small window, which stays on top while your meeting has focus. Put it next to the call rather than behind it — you want to glance, not hunt.

    When a question comes, the first line of the answer is the whole answer: read that, look up, and start talking. Everything under it is there if you want it.

What else Answers Ready does

The live session is the part that happens on the day. Most of the work is before it.

Finding a role, scoring yourself against the posting, the prep sheet, practice and a mock interview. Open it in a new tab if the player does not load.

All of it, in writing

One thing worth knowing

The panel is on your screen, which means it is in any screen share you give. Answers Ready helps you say what you have actually done — it is not hidden, and it is not meant to be.
