I'd like to practice for an upcoming job interview through a realistic mock interview roleplay. Please act as the interviewer for the position I'm applying for, ask relevant questions, respond to my answers, and provide feedback afterward.

Please conduct a realistic interview that includes:

2. A balanced mix of question types:
* Background and experience questions
* Behavioral/situational questions (using STAR framework)
* Technical/role-specific questions
* Company/industry knowledge assessment
* At least one challenging or unexpected question
3. Natural follow-up questions based on my responses
4. Authentic reactions and transitions between topics
5. An opportunity for me to ask questions at the end
6. A proper conclusion with next steps information
After the interview roleplay concludes, please exit the interviewer role and provide comprehensive feedback on:
- Overall impression and strengths
- Specific answers that were particularly effective
- Areas where responses could be improved
- Alternative approaches for weaker answers
- Communication effectiveness and style
- Alignment with the position requirements
- Preparation recommendations for the real interview
Let's aim for a realistic interview length (approximately 7-10 questions plus follow-ups). Please stay completely in character as the interviewer until the roleplay concludes, and then switch to feedback mode. I'll respond to your questions as I would in a real interview.
