To increase credibility: 1. You should add an "About" page and tell us about your background and what makes you best suited for providing this service 2. Give 2-3 examples of questions+answers (for 2-3 roles) to set expectations / give a taste of the type of practice one would get by signing up for the service

I'm in my junior year of college for my CS degree and have so far failed any technical interview for software engineering internship. I don't solve interview questions well and I always get stuck. I've tried studying for these as best I can but it doesn't ever seem to help. I'm at a loss as to what I should do. If I can't even get an internship then I have no idea how am I going to get a real job some day.

UM.. waaay too many fresh accounts commenting here. with names that include numbers. Fishy.

Hey, good catch, thanks! I had actually been interested by the idea for the other side (having my team practice interviews before talking to real candidates). But I saw your comment, looked at all those one-line spam comments and now don't want to give it a try.

bletch.

Hey there, I assure you that there is nothing fishy about Pramp.com. I'm one the guys who built it and the reason I did that is because as an engineer myself, I experienced first hand the pains in getting a good practice before important job interviews. Some of the folks you see here with fresh accounts are my friends who simply wanted to upvote my post.
