Great questions. How do you think homework might get built into this not just for design but also metrics analysis. How about flipping the role for interviewer practice ?
Andrey Lipkovskiy

@howell4change hi Sean. Thanks for the comment. We actually started from multiple roles but decided to go with design to make the experience exceptional. Still, we see lots of requests for other roles and it is something we're thinking about.

If you mean design metrics, we already have some questions that cover this topic

@lipkovskiy makes sense, i took a liook and was curious what are the common questerions for an intervier to ask to always up my hiring game.

@howell4change  Sean, thank you for these interesting ideas! If I understand correctly, when you mention homework, are you referring to take-home assignments as part of the interview process? If so, we're currently working on a whiteboard interview flow where the main focus will be on reasoning and product thinking.

If you're talking about homework as practical tasks that could help designers develop, we're also exploring this possibility as an AI design mentor/buddy that would help create a PDP (professional development plan) and track progress.

As for the second idea, it sounds interesting! We're currently talking with HR managers from different companies and design mentors to help lighten their load. But it's definitely worth discussing this idea with design managers who do hiring.

@egor_krasnoperov yeah exactly. That will be killer. 🔥

Love how Mockin combines level-specific Screening Interviews, a 200-plus MAANG One-Question bank, and the ATS-friendly Resume Checker/Matcher inside that newly chilled-out AI-HR interface—real, tangible upgrades over the usual one-size-fits-all prep tools.

As a designer gearing up for senior calls while endlessly tweaking resumes, this lineup nails my exact pain points and actually frees up time.

just curious: are you considering portfolio case-study reviews or direct application-tracking integrations so the prep flows seamlessly into the job hunt?

Egor Krasnoperov

@jing_li24 Thank you for the feedback, Jing! My vision is to cover the entire interview preparation flow. And, after getting an offer, we also plan to help with adapting to the new company.

If we're talking about immediate plans, I'd like to focus on creating two types of interviews that can help designers:

  • interview based on job description;

  • whiteboard interview.

    And if we're talking about your ideas, they sound more than reasonable, and we've started exploring them too.

Mockin's real - time AI interviews with 200+ real questions and resume matching are a huge help for designers preparing for job interviews! For designers who want to practice interviews for very specific design roles, does Mockin have any plans to add more specialized interview question sets for different design niches?

Egor Krasnoperov

@yongxiang_wang thank you, Evan. Good question! And what other niche design roles would you like to see in Mockin? For example, if you're a UX designer, Mockin is also a great fit.

And if we're talking about communication designers, Mockin can help you prepare there too, structure your speech about your experience, your ability to work with a team, and how you define the quality of your work.

Love the idea of an AI-powered interview simulator tailored for UX/UI and product designers! Practicing with real questions and getting feedback is exactly what the community needs. I’d definitely try it out to sharpen my interview skills. Congrats on the launch! 🚀🧠

Egor Krasnoperov

@naderikladious, thank you! First and foremost, we wanted to provide a tool that helps improve self-presentation skills and learn to answer confidently using the STAR method. As a hiring manager who has been on both sides of the hiring process, I understand how important this is.

Nader Ikladious

@egor_krasnoperov It honestly sounds amazing, I will be recommending it for people as well 👏
