Interview Warmup alternative
Google Interview Warmup was retired
Google has retired Interview Warmup, and its old address now opens a tips article. You can still practice answering out loud here, with an AI interviewer that follows up and scores you.
What changed, and what's different here
Google built Interview Warmup for its Career Certificate learners: set questions, a transcript and word patterns, with no grades.
-
The questions
Interview Warmup: Set lists for Google Career Certificate fields, plus general questions.
NailedIt: Drafted from the job posting or title you give it, for any role.
-
Your answers
Interview Warmup: Transcribed in real time so you could read them back.
NailedIt: Transcribed, and the interviewer follows up on what you left out.
-
The feedback
Interview Warmup: The words you used most and the talking points you covered. Answers were not graded.
NailedIt: A score on five skills, with your two weakest answers flagged.
-
The cost
Interview Warmup: Free.
NailedIt: Your first two scored mocks are free, with no card. Then $29 a month (intro price through October 31; regular $49).
Is Google Interview Warmup still available?
No. Its old address, grow.google/certificates/interview-warmup, now redirects to a Grow with Google article on interview tips (checked September 24, 2026). Bookmarks and links to it land there too.
Is Google Interview Warmup free?
It no longer runs at any price, because it was retired. The closest free route is here: your first two scored mocks cost nothing and need no card.
How do I use Google Interview Warmup?
You can't any more. When it ran, you picked a field or its general questions, answered, read your answer back as a live transcript, and looked at the insights: the job-related terms you used, your most-used words and the talking points you covered (Google, 2022). To practice the same fields out loud now: data analyst, project manager, marketing manager, or paste any job posting above.

For career centers and libraries
If your resource page linked to Interview Warmup, you can point it here instead: nailedit.ai/google-interview-warmup-alternative/. It runs in the browser with a microphone, the first two scored mocks are free with no card, and every score is labeled as AI. It is practice only and not affiliated with Google.
Practice out loud before it counts
An AI interviewer asks, follows up on what you skip, and scores the answers you gave.
Your free mocks show the score. The Interview-Ready plan shows you how to raise it.
- As many scored mocks as you want, in every round
- Why you lost points on each skill
- Your weakest answers rewritten, with why the new version scores higher
$29 a month if you join by October 31, and you keep it while you stay (regular $49). 14-day refund from your account. See the plan
