Creating Your Own Personas and Scenarios for Interview Training

While public personas and scenarios provide a strong starting point, the real strength of the Pxl-Persona dashboard lies in the ability to create your own.

Trainers, educators, and individuals can build fully customised interview experiences by defining both the interviewer and the context in which the interview takes place. This allows interview practice to reflect real roles, real organisations, and real expectations.

What Is a Persona?

A persona defines the interviewer.

When creating a persona, users can set:

• Name and keywords

• Role and expertise

• Interview style and tone

• Background and experience

• 3D avatar character and voice

Personas are reusable. A single interviewer profile can be used across multiple scenarios with different moods, roles, or expectations.

This separation allows trainers to build a consistent interviewer while adapting the interview context as needed.

What Is a Scenario?

A scenario defines the structure of the interview.

When building a scenario, users can configure:

• The job role being interviewed for

• The tone of the interview

• The core prompt guiding the avatar

• The selected persona

• Supporting documents such as CVs or job descriptions

Scenarios can be duplicated, edited, and reused, making it easier to build structured programmes for cohorts or training groups.

Designing for Different Levels and Outcomes

Custom personas and scenarios allow interview practice to be tailored to:

• Entry-level roles

• Technical interviews

• Behavioural interviews

• Leadership interviews

• Sector-specific contexts

Trainers can increase complexity over time or adjust tone depending on learner confidence and experience.

Reusable Building Blocks

The dashboard is designed around reusable components.

A trainer might:

• Create one interviewer persona

• Develop multiple scenarios for different roles

• Attach different documents depending on the learner

• Share sessions through links

This modular approach reduces repetitive setup while allowing meaningful variation.

Supporting UK Context and Sector Needs

Custom personas and scenarios also allow for:

• UK-specific interview styles

• Regionally relevant communication norms

• Industry-specific expectations

As the platform evolves, additional curated persona and scenario packs will support different industries and training environments.

From Configuration to Live Interview

Once a persona and scenario are created, they can immediately be used to launch a live 3D avatar interview session.

Users can then:

• Review transcripts

• Analyse feedback

• Adjust prompts or documents

• Iterate and practise again

This cycle of configure, run, review, and refine supports structured skill development rather than isolated mock interviews.
