Google launches AI tool to help you practice for job interviews

We need to say this out of the gate, but it's currently only available in the US. Google has launched an Interview Warmup tool that uses AI to help you prep for job interviews in different roles. It's geared specifically at Google Career Certificates users, and many of the role-specific questions reflect this. However, there are still the typical "Tell me a bit about yourself" questions.
