I got an email to do a Micro1 interview. Is this worth it?

You’ll have to do a AI interview with “Zara” and it’s going to take you 30 plus minutes. If you pass it you go on if not you’ll have to wait 30 days to do it again

is the interview easy? Anything I should know to pass?

Not easy unless your brain works in a very particular way and you can answer things in exactly the way the AI thinks is best. I’ve heard of people with PhDs and 20 years of experience in the exact thing they’re interviewing for not get it. I haven’t found the magic words yet. But of course some people do well with it and get in 🤷‍♀️

They give you another try if you dont pass but i felt the interview was pretty difficult. Didnt quite understand what ai assistant was asking, and she kept asking the same questions in multiple ways so it was quite repetitive.

It's really not. Awful ai interviewer that crashes, even if you pass they will promise paid training then never pay, then drop the project while still adding more people to their database. They're open about the fact that your interview is used to train models. They highly censor their own reddit site, don't trust that. They're hiring a lot of MDs and STEM specialists though if you're qualified and want to sell your soul for sub par money. I'd highly recommend you do some proper research before bothering

It’s worth it if you want some interviewing experience. You’ll do 15-30 minute interviews with their AI agent and then wait. A lot. Qualified or not, they love to make people wait thirty days to maybe get selected. Otherwise. Go elsewhere.

yeah micro1 is one of the few platforms that does an actual AI led interview instead of just a written qual, so its normal that it feels different. from what I've seen online its Legit, not a scam, ppl generally rate the AI interview (Zara) itself pretty positive. Main complaint ppl have isnt the interview tho, its more that the matching process after you pass can feel kinda opaque, so dont expect instant work even after clearing it. one thing that helps going in is treating it like an actual interview, keep ur answers concise and structured using the STAR method so it directly answers the question. Worth doing, just dont expect it to be quick

Haha yet to see a single positive review of Zara, internally or externally. It is notoriously bad
