After selecting a field, you will be given five randomly-selected questions. Google claims that all the questions have been selected by an expert in that field.
Once a question is read aloud, you can "answer" and begin speaking or you can type out your response. Once you have finished with your answer, you can click on "done." next, you can choose to review your answer immediately or wait until you have finished the whole interview.
You can redo or edit an answer as many times as you would like during the whole interview process.
The tool will give you valuable insights about your answers like if you overuse certain words or if you need to elaborate more on certain subjects.
Besides showing insights about your responses, the tool also offers valuable advice for candidates like "tips for before, during, and after an interview" and "tips for answering specific types of questions."
