Student feedback
"I used Big Interview to practice and prepare for an automated online interview for a government grad program. It helped me pick up on distracting things I was doing like saying “um” and “errrr” too much. I also kept looking away from the camera, which made it look like I was distracted! I used Big Interview's bank of questions to prepare answers for possible questions I would get in the interview, which definitely came in handy as well."
Final year B Business (Human Resources and Economics majors) student.
"Big Interview is the perfect preparation tool for an online interview! I used Big Interview to help me with answering general interview questions, getting used to looking at a camera and to remove distracting or nervous habits of my own like saying 'umm' too much or playing with my necklace. My grad interview was not automated like the practice questions but was in front of a panel of executives through Skype.
This program, I honestly believe gave me an advantage. It allowed me to record answers to a range of different questions at various different levels for multiple positions. The bank of suggested answers to questions also helped me to keep on track and give a professional answer. I was and now am certainly more confident in my ability to sit an online interview thanks to this program!"
