What's actually in it

Built fresh, every time.

Every report is built fresh from your CV and the actual job description, not a generic PDF everyone gets. Real web research on the company, sourced and linked, not just plausible-sounding filler.

Company overview, size, structure, culture, leadership, trajectory, competitors.

Recent news & press activity, what's actually been happening lately, with sources.

Employee sentiment, real themes from Glassdoor, Google and Indeed reviews.

Social media presence, how they actually show up online.

Market & sector intelligence, what's putting pressure on this industry right now.

Challenges you may face in the role, the honest version, not the job-ad version.

Your opening pitch, a proper "tell me about yourself" answer, built from your real CV and weighted to this job.

Gap analysis, where you're strong, where there's a genuine gap, and a credible way to address it.

STAR-structured answers, your recorded or typed answers, tidied into a clean, tellable story.

Smart questions to ask them, grounded in the actual job spec, not generic "what's the culture like" filler.

Every researched section shows its real sources. Downloads as a proper, branded Word document you can actually take into the interview with you.

Want a real person on it too?

Sometimes you don't want another document. You want someone who's sat on both sides of the desk to tell you straight. A 30-minute call, one-to-one, used however helps you most.

Questions

The honest answers.

Is this actually AI, or a template with my name stuck in?

It's real, live research and writing built from your specific CV and the actual job description each time, not a fixed template. If a section ever can't be generated for some reason, we'll say so plainly rather than quietly filling it with filler.

Is my data safe?

Uploaded files are deleted from our server as soon as the text's been pulled out. Full details in our Privacy & Data Notice.

Is it really free? What's the catch?

No catch. The prep report used to cost £15. Now it's free, every time, for everyone, just like every guide, dispatch and Loudspeaker email on this site. We'd rather you walked into that interview ready than stayed at home because money was tight. The only thing we still charge for is a one-to-one coaching session with a real person, and that's entirely optional.

What if I need to change something afterwards?

You can regenerate and re-download your report as many times as you need in the same session. Get in touch if you need it re-run after that.
