I used paid interview prep and they didn't give me canned answers. They helped me polish the answers I already had and in the end, really very few of the questions we prepared ended up being asked anyway.
They helped give me confidence that I was going in as ready as possible. We went over all the paperwork and they gave assistance with the organization of that. They did a mock logbook review but mostly they helped rehearse the LOI and that's where I think it really paid off.
For me it was money well spent because I got the job and it was very helpful as I hadn't been through a serious interview in a long, long time. We all get stale over time and the interview prep help knock off the rust.
A good interview prep will not give us canned answers. They will help bring out a better version of ourselves.
