Meet the creator

Judy M. Wallis is a former senior recruiter, an interview coach and the founder of Interview Practice Lab. She has more than 15 years' experience in HR and recruitment across Australia and the US, most recently as Senior Recruitment Adviser at a Queensland government-owned corporation, with earlier recruiting roles at LHH and Cornerstone Group and HR roles at New York law firms and non-profits. As a career coach, she has run more than 700 resume and mock-interview sessions, with over 90% of clients going on to secure interviews and offers.

After years of seeing talented, capable professionals struggle to communicate their experiences effectively in interviews, she recognised a gap: people didn't need more generic advice — they needed a way to practice properly, under realistic conditions, with structured feedback they could actually use.

That's why she built Interview Practice Lab — to give every candidate access to the same quality of preparation that executive coaching clients receive, powered by AI and grounded in proven recruitment methodology.

The platform uses the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) as its feedback framework because it's the standard that recruiters and hiring managers use to evaluate behavioural answers. Every piece of feedback is designed to help you structure stronger, more compelling responses.
