“What does the funnel analysis tell you?” he asked.
“It tells me, uh, there’s a 10% relative drop in conversion.”
“So should we make any changes if revenue is the same?”
“Um, we should, shouldn’t we?”
“If revenue hasn’t moved, does it matter?”
My mind went completely blank.
“Doesn’t it?” I replied.

Except the unmistakable sound of me crashing and burning this interview.
Look, we’ve all been there. We’ve all bombed interviews. Important ones.
But I’ve found that there’s something worse than not performing in an interview (which, yeah, sucks). It’s that after most interviews, you get exactly zero feedback.
Zero insight into what went wrong.
This feedback gap is killing job searches everywhere. You’re flying blind, making the same mistakes interview after interview.
AI can fix this if you record your interviews
Most people don’t realize they can record their side of any video call.
Use Granola, Otter.ai, or even your phone’s voice memo app.
(Check your state’s recording laws first.)
After the interview, paste the transcript into Claude or ChatGPT.
✍️ Use this prompt:
“Here’s my interview transcript for [Role] at [Company]. Analyze my performance: Which answers were strong? Which were weak? Where did I ramble? What questions seemed to catch me off guard? If you were the interviewer, would you move me forward?”
(The biggest reveal my clients typically have? Discovering they’re giving a 7-minute opus to simple questions, aka rambling. Tightening your answers goes a looong way.)
The beauty of this simple AI system is you finally get the feedback loop that’s been missing. Instead of wondering why you didn’t advance, you can diagnose and fix specific problems.
Record your next interview. See what patterns emerge.
