Feedback from users who used Challenge My Resume

Hired
I had '40% latency improvement' on my resume for two years and never really thought about it. The first generated question was exactly what I could not answer, so I fixed the bullet before the interview.
SE

Jean M.

Software Engineer

Got the offer
It challenged a vague 'led cross-functional team' claim immediately: how many people, what scope, what changed? That made my final answer much tighter.
PM

Oliver B.

Product Manager

Hired
The questions were anchored to my specific project instead of generic prep prompts. It asked why I used one model over another, which is exactly the kind of follow-up I needed to rehearse.
