Editorial policy

What we publish, and why

Our guides cover the questions candidates actually get asked and the frameworks for answering them - the STAR method, “tell me about yourself”, salary expectations, weaknesses, behavioral rounds. We pick topics from what people search for and from the questions that reach our support inbox. We write a guide when we think we can say something concrete and useful about it, and we would rather publish fewer, longer pages than cover everything thinly.

Every guide is free to read and none of them require an account.

Who is accountable for a page

Every guide carries a byline. Where a named author is credited, that person is responsible for the content, and their background and other articles are listed on their own bio page - for example Sarah Chen and James Park. Where a guide is credited to the Live Interview AI editorial team, the company is accountable for it rather than an individual.

We do not publish guides under invented names. If a byline is on a page, that byline is answerable for it.

Dates mean what they say

Each guide shows the date it was first published and, where it differs, the date it was last substantively updated. Those same two dates are published in the page's structured data, so what you see and what a search engine reads are the same values.

We only move the “updated” date when the content actually changed in a way that matters. Fixing a typo does not earn a new date; rewriting a section, adding examples, or correcting an error does.

Accuracy and advice

Interview advice is not a science, and we try to be honest about that. When we say something works, we mean it reflects what we have seen work in real interviews and hiring processes - not that it is guaranteed. Where a piece of advice depends on your role, seniority, or industry, we say so rather than flattening it into a rule.

Example answers in our guides are illustrations, written to show structure. They are not scripts to recite, and the numbers in them are examples rather than research findings. An interviewer can tell the difference between your story and a borrowed one.

How we use AI

We build an AI product, so it would be strange to pretend we never use AI tools. What we commit to is accountability: wherever AI assists in drafting or research, a human is responsible for the published text, and that responsibility sits with the byline on the page. We do not publish content that nobody has read.

Our commercial interest, stated plainly

We sell an interview copilot, and our guides recommend it. That is a real conflict of interest and you should read our advice knowing it. What we do about it: the advice in a guide has to stand on its own with the product removed. If a guide would be useless without the sales pitch, it is not a guide worth publishing.

We do not take payment for placements, we do not run affiliate links, and we do not accept sponsored posts. Our guides link only to our own product and to our other guides.

Corrections

If something we published is wrong, tell us and we will fix it. Email support@liveinterview.ai with the subject “Correction”, a link to the page, and the passage you are referring to.

When we correct a factual error we update the page and move its “updated” date. Where a correction materially changes the advice, we note what changed on the page itself rather than quietly editing it.
