Why I built DontBlank
When I was preparing for interviews and HireVue questions, I used to record myself on my phone and watch it back, listening for filler words and noticing where I stumbled.
It helped, but working out what to improve took time. I built DontBlank to make that process easier, and shared it in the hope that it would help others too.
How does it work?
- Choose a question.Pick a common one, write your own, or generate five from your CV, with or without a job description.
- Record your answer.Say it out loud for up to two minutes, then listen back.
- Get feedback.See your pace, filler words and pauses, with coaching on structure and examples.
- Try again.Pick one thing to improve and record another take.
