EnglishJobReady vs Poised
Short answer
Poised is closing (8 October 2026). Poised's own site is showing a shutdown notice: the service closes on 8 October 2026. If you are a paying subscriber, check their cancellation and refund pages before that date. If you need interview practice in English as a second language, EnglishJobReady offers a free readiness check you can start without a card.
Both tools help people prepare. EnglishJobReady is interview practice for people answering in English as a second language: you answer real questions out loud or in writing, and get feedback on clarity, structure, evidence and the habits of your first language.
