Conversation training

What is conversation training in Avorate?

Conversation training lets you practise an actual conversation, not just a talk: Avorate asks you questions, you answer them out loud, and you get a rating at the end. There are two categories: Job interviews for interview practice, and Everyday work for conversations that come up on the job, such as with clients or your team.

Which scenarios are available for job interviews?

Six scenarios cover the most common interview situations: the classic job interview, a 60-second self-introduction, strengths and weaknesses, explaining a gap in your CV, a salary negotiation, and describing a team conflict.

1. 1Classic job interview: the full interview, from the greeting to the closing questions.
2. 2Introduce yourself in 60 seconds: bring your own introduction to the point, briefly and clearly.
3. 3Strengths and weaknesses: give a concrete answer to the classic strengths-and-weaknesses question.
4. 4Explaining a gap in your CV: place a break or a career change confidently.
5. 5Salary negotiation: name a salary expectation and justify it.
6. 6Describing a team conflict: describe a past conflict from a previous role, factually.

Which scenarios are available for everyday work?

Twenty-five scenarios practise conversations that come up in everyday work, split into five areas of five scenarios each: sales and offers, capital and growth, deciding and steering, reporting on numbers, and explaining and enabling. For example:

1. 1First conversation with a client: listen and ask the right questions instead of pitching right away.
2. 2The objection “too expensive”: take the objection seriously and justify the value instead of discounting right away.
3. 3Price and contract negotiation: make the ask, justify it and hold a pause.
4. 4A client complaint: de-escalate and take responsibility without making promises you can't keep.
5. 5Giving critical feedback: focus on the situation, not the person, with a concrete example.
6. 6Elevator pitch (60 seconds): say what your company does and for whom, in one minute.
7. 7Status report to decision-makers: lead with the result and hold up under follow-up questions.
8. 8Explaining without jargon: explain a technical term before moving on, instead of losing the other person in abbreviations.

How does a conversation-training session run?

You pick a scenario and fill in a few context details if needed, such as your target role for an interview or what you want to achieve in a work conversation. Then the conversation starts: Avorate asks a question, you speak your answer out loud, and Avorate asks the next question. That repeats until the conversation is done. Only at the end do you get a rating for the whole conversation, not after each individual answer.

What does a session cost, and where do I find my history?

You're charged in speaking minutes, not credits: every session deducts as many minutes as you actually spoke, from the same pool as practice mode. Every finished session then lands in your history, split into job interviews and everyday work, so you can look back at earlier conversations and listen to them again whenever you like.
