LensAidLIVE INTERVIEW GUIDE
Use your CV for relevant answers during a live interview
Connect your CV and job description to live interview questions, explain your contribution clearly and keep context as the interviewer asks follow-ups.
VPO Labs makes LensAid. This guide explains how to use your experience and conversation context during an interview.
During a live interview, the conversation moves from your CV to specific decisions, results and follow-up questions. LensAid uses your CV and job-description context to suggest relevant answers as that conversation happens. This guide shows how to connect a question to an example from your own work and keep your contribution clear. [1]
Choose evidence for the role
Read the job description and pick three requirements you could discuss through real experience. These might involve making technical decisions, collaborating across teams, or handling an unclear request.
For each requirement, choose one CV entry that gives you relevant evidence. A small project where you can explain your decisions is more useful than a prominent project where your contribution is unclear. Keep the role requirement and your contribution together so you can connect them when the interviewer asks.
Expand the claim into facts
For each example, write short answers to these questions:
What was happening before you became involved? What responsibility did you personally have? What did you decide or do, and why? What changed, and how do you know? What would you keep or change next time?
Separate observations from interpretations. “The team adopted the checklist” describes something you can verify. “The checklist transformed team productivity” needs additional evidence. If you remember the outcome but not a number, describe the outcome plainly. Do not invent a percentage to make the story feel complete.
Make your contribution visible
Team achievements belong in an interview answer, but your part should be clear. Use “we” for shared work and “I” for your own actions. Describe any limits on your ownership, including decisions made by someone else.
For example, a fictional CV line might say: “Improved the release process.” During the interview, you could explain the contribution like this:
“Our release checklist was scattered across several documents. I collected the steps and asked the people responsible for each one to review them. The team started using the combined checklist. I did not measure whether releases became faster, so I would describe the result as a clearer shared process.”
The example has a situation, an individual contribution, and an observable result. It does not need an invented success metric.
Follow the question as it develops
An interviewer may move from “What did you do?” to “Why that approach?”, “What did you rule out?” or “What went wrong?” Listen for what the new question adds. Use the same example when it remains relevant, and make the decision or result the interviewer is asking about explicit.
LensAid keeps the conversation context for follow-ups and streams suggested answers during the interview. Your CV and role details give that guidance a starting point; the live conversation adds the question being asked now. [1]
After the call, return to the transcript and recap to review which examples came up and what the interviewer asked about. Keep a compact example bank: the role requirement, your contribution, the evidence and one lesson. [1]
Live interview help on your Mac
LensAid transcribes the interview and suggests answers in real time using your experience and the conversation context. Guidance sits near your Mac’s camera, and the same workspace includes CV and job-description preparation plus session review. [1]
LensAid requires an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 14 or later, with English transcription. Speech recognition runs locally; AI guidance sends relevant conversation context to OpenAI. [1][2]
