If you’ve been endlessly scrolling through job boards or getting filtered by ATS bots, you know the specific kind of burnout that follows. I kept seeing people mention how to use LockedIn AI for interview prep, and honestly, I had the same skepticism you probably do: is this a game-changer, or just another open browser tab I’ll eventually ignore? Tools don’t create clarity; they amplify what you give them. So, instead of guessing, I spent the last week building a…

I saw people buzzing about LockedIn AI in the same tired way I see every “interview hack” trend: half hope, half panic. If you’re in the application black hole right now, sending resumes, getting silence, juggling ATS keyword match games, and maybe also needing visa sponsorship, I get why a tool like this feels tempting. You want leverage, you want an insider connection, and you want something to move your conversion rate from “0 replies” to “actual interviews.” So I…

Pricing pages can be deceptively simple. Sure, a “per credit” cost looks low, but what happens when you need to redo a coding mock three times to get it right? I decided to stop guessing and start calculating. I took the current LockedIn AI pricing structure and stress-tested it against three real-world interview scenarios: the light prep, the solid prep, and the intense multi-round loop. In this post, I’m cutting through the noise. I’ll show you exactly what “credits” translate…

Ever feel like your job applications vanish into a black hole? You’re not alone. I’m Dora, and after weeks of testing LockedIn AI, I saw exactly why tech professionals send 80 resumes and get two screens. This job search AI tool promises faster tailoring, better keyword match, and interview prep—but only if you understand how to use it. In this review, I’ll break down what actually works, what feels like fluff, and who should bother paying versus who should skip…

Last Updated: February 17, 2026 Everyone wants a “cheat code” for interviews, and LockedIn AI promises exactly that: a whisper in your ear guiding you to the perfect answer. As an AI tool reviewer, I see the appeal of a LockedIn AI interview copilot, especially when the stakes are high. But here is the unpopular opinion: relying on live AI assistance during a behavioral round might actually trigger a rejection faster than a bad answer. Why? Because recruiters are trained…

Last Updated: Feb 14, 2026 Applicable to 2026 hiring season You finally got the interview invite. The excitement lasts about five minutes—then the panic sets in. You know you have the skills, but when you look in the mirror to practice “Tell me about yourself,” you end up rambling for three minutes without making a point. Hi, I’m Dora, who have seen too many brilliant candidates lose offers not because they weren’t qualified, but because their stories were unstructured and…

Last Updated: Feb 13, 2026 Applicable to: 2026 Hiring Season You have the experience. You have the portfolio. Yet, you’re watching less qualified candidates land the interviews you deserve. Why? Because in 2026, the most qualified candidate doesn’t always win. The candidate who speaks the ATS’s language fluently does. Right now, your resume might be whispering your value proposition, while others are shouting it with precision-engineered keywords. Hi, I’m Dora. As a career strategist, I see this frustration every day.…

Last Updated: Feb 11, 2026 Applicable to 2026 hiring season Hi, I’m Dora. Let’s be honest about that cover letter ChatGPT just wrote for you. It has perfect grammar. It’s structured beautifully. But when you read it out loud, does it sound like you? Or does it sound like a corporate robot using words like “unwavering,” “delve,” and “tapestry”—words you would never actually say in a coffee chat? Here is the trap: Recruiters might not run your resume through a…
