What is job interview training?

Job interview training is an easy way to get a leg (or two) up on the competition. It’s a process of videos, articles, and virtual interview sessions teaching you the kinds of things interviewers ask, why they ask them, what they’re looking for, and how to be the stand-out talent they’re looking for so you can get the job you really want.

Here's what a mock interview session looks like
  • Interview training lets you understand why you get asked the questions you do, so you know how to answer them.
  • Even things like classroom training or rehearsing with friends can’t get you enough comprehension or practice interview experience to make much difference (read on below to see why).
  • You’ll start feeling the results within a few hours of training in the Interview Dojo, even if you have limited work and interview experience.

A brief introduction to training

Michael Jordan became a legend because of focused, deliberate practice and training.

In 2010, Fortune Magazine’s Geoff Colvin published a book called Talent is Overrated, based on a 2007 Harvard Business Review paper called “The Making of an Expert.” Both of these very well-received publications stressed the importance of one particular thing: training.

The best in the world at anything – from Mozart to Tiger Woods – didn’t become good because they were born that way. They became good because they trained themselves to be that way.

And if you want to start knocking your interviews out of the park – and start lining up top-flight jobs with top-flight pay – then training is exactly what you need.

The Incredible Power of Interview Training… But Without the High Cost

In 2005, we founded a one-on-one job interview training company, focused on teaching executives how to interview for their dream jobs.

The reason we focused on executives was because the price of one-on-one in-person interview training is simply out of reach for many people… it’s a high value-added service – one that gets most people much better jobs with much higher pay than they’d otherwise get – but it isn’t typically affordable for the ordinary working person.

We wanted to find a way to reach the people who couldn’t afford to sit down with us one-on-one, though. We knew there was a way to help them to get results similar to the results our executive clients achieve, leveraging the proven content and techniques used in our executive coaching sessions.

And Big Interview offers 24/7 online availability so you can learn and practice whenever you’re ready to learn and practice (say, after work, or on your lunch break).

Before Big Interview Training, you needed a high-end expert trainer to sit down with you, one-on-one, over a prolonged period of time. That’s why interview training has traditionally been used only by the highest paid and most ambitious corporate executives. The good news is now you can have interview training for yourself at prices anybody can afford. Start using Big Interview now.

University of Southern Miss. Professors: Strong Ties Between Practiced Verbal Responses and Getting Hired

So why should you care?
Simple: because appropriateness of content (how strong your answers are), fluency of speech (how polished your speaking is), and composure (how comfortable you feel in the job interview) were of greatest importance to favorable hiring decisions.

That means... the interviewees with the best answers and who are most comfortable WIN.

This is also why real interview training trumps a classroom (where you’re not really getting much – if ANY – practical interview experience) and why it trumps practicing with friends (who simply don’t give you the kind of experience you’ll get with real interviewers). Real interview training gets you the kind of content, fluency, and composure you need to truly succeed.

And your Interview Dojo is simply the fastest, easiest, and most affordable way on Earth for you to become an interview black belt.

We Asked Our Customers What They Like About Big Interview

Here's What They Said:

After several interviews that didn’t pan out, I was struggling to figure out what I was doing wrong. The Big Interview curriculum was a tremendous help. John S, Advertising

I quickly learned what was holding me back and how to fix it including:

- Crafting stronger and more concise interview answers

- Being clearer about “why” I’m excited to work at a company

- Learning about how to improve my body language and eye contact

I didn’t realize all the little things that might have been sabotaging my interviews

Overall, my confidence and comfort level increased and I think it showed in the interview

Big Interview was like having my own personal coach. I could basically go through and recreate just about any interview scenario. Terri A,Customer Service

I was a little apprehensive at first to see myself on my webcam, but seeing and hearing how I was answering questions was extremely valuable

I also liked the convenience of doing the practice on my own timetable, like after getting home in the evening.

It was great to practice the industry and general questions, since not-so-coincidentally those were the ones that actually popped-up during my interview.

Some of Our Customers Have Developed Their Own Strategies for Getting Even More Out of the Mock Interviews


I usually work my way through the General Questions and then start hitting up the industry ones.

I spent a lot of time on the “tell me about yourself” question (which I was having trouble with). I liked be able to share multiple takes of my answers with friends to get additional feedback.

I thought the Interview Roulette was pretty useful since it was always forcing me to get comfortable coming up with answers on the spot.

About this chart: We hope you won’t begrudge us a one-sided comparison. We’re showing you the best of us. Drawing up a chart like this was simply the clearest way we knew to show you how Big Interview stacks up against the typical ways people prepare for job interviews.

What Makes Big Interview Different from Typical Interview Preparation?

Most people prepare for job interviews by:

  • 1) Reading tips from a book
  • 2) MAYBE practicing a few questions with a friend

Reading a book is better than nothing. However, most interviewing books are incomplete and/or outdated. Most importantly, reading tips doesn’t automatically translate into applying them. Research has shown that PRACTICE is key to interviewing well.

So why not practice with a friend or family member?

A lot of people feel awkward asking a friend to role play with them and just never get around to doing it (despite knowing that practice is essential).
Besides, most friends don’t know the right questions to ask and can’t/won’t give you candid feedback.

And here’s the biggest problem with practicing with a buddy:

One of the best and most reliable ways to improve is to actually go and SEE where you’re making mistakes, so you can REFINE those mistakes.

In fact, that’s one of the main reasons we built a video recording and playback function into the Practice Interviews in the Interview Dojo… so that as soon as you go through an interview, you can go back and see how you did.

If you practice with Big Interview, you will be preparing more effectively than everybody else competing with you for the job. Why not give yourself the edge?

Interesting Fact: Did You Know That Standard Interview Training Is 100 Times More Expensive (Or MORE) Per Hour Than Big Interview?

Don’t get us wrong, personalized interview training can be great – it’s where all of our experience training people how to get great jobs comes from, after all! And there are some nice perks to learning with an expert in-person.

But from purely an economic standpoint, think about it like this: with one-on-one training, you’re looking at hundreds of dollars an hour… at least.

With Big Interview, if you use all the tools you have available here for giving you unbeatable skills at landing your dream job for a total of even just 20 hours, it works out to $4.85 an hour.

That’s about 100 times less than the standard $500 an hour fees you’ll see for a proven, top-quality interview coach.

And for a whole lot more functionality and availability, too.

Big Interview Makes It Easy To Practice and Improve

Do I need any special equipment?

Nope. You can learn by just watching the videos or reading the lessons. If you want to practice with the mock-interviews, then you’ll use a standard webcam and microphone (or microphone alone).

Is there a complicated technical set up?

Nope. We have a couple “Getting Started” videos you can watch as soon as you log in. If you’re using a webcam and mic, it’ll explain how to set things up. Overall, it won’t take you longer than a couple minutes to start recording. It’s all very intuitive.

Is my information secure?

Yep. We use high-level, 128-bit bank-level encryption to protect your data.

Will I be horrified to see and hear myself recorded?

Maybe. But you don’t necessarily need to record yourself if you really don’t want to. Most people aren’t thrilled to see and hear what they sound like when recorded (especially if they’re not used to it).

It doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with the way your voice sounds. There’s just a difference in how we sound in “our heads” versus a recording. But don’t worry, everyone gets over it very quickly and you can continue practicing comfortably.

Remember: You’re recording in private, so there’s no one here to judge you.

At first, I wasn't sure Big Interview would be worth my time, but once I got started boy did my feelings change. The ability to practice with so many questions was really useful.

I especially liked the Interview Roulette and the ability to record and review my answers.

Being able to spend time practicing answers and understanding how to improve my skills made me much more confident. Overall, such a great tool - will recommend to all!

A.B.
Government Relations

Shortly after being introduced to Big Interview, I got called for an interview that was scheduled in two days.

I immediately set up my user account and tried my hand at the practice interviews. I started with the "10 most common interview questions" and later practiced the interview modules for prospective Supervisors. It was fantastic.

I came to my interview confident and prepared to answer all the questions the Hiring Manager asked of me. I had a great interview. Perhaps the best I've done ever.

BIG interview made a BIG difference!

George F.
IT Management

After using Big Interview, I now feel much more confident about handling real interviews.

I really liked the recording & playback functionality, which allowed me to hear my voice and analyze the strength and confidence of my answer.

I also really liked the industry specific interviews (where I practiced with IT and software development questions).

Big Interview really helped me improve my interview skills, how could I not recommend it to others?

Jacqueline E.
Nutritional Science

Interviews make me really nervous, so I was seriously anxious about even practicing interview questions. But after using Big Interview, it wasn't as scary a process (especially with getting tips about answering each question right on the mock interview screen).

I also liked that the interviews get progressively more challenging (where Level 1 the interviewer is friendly and by Level 3 they're a lot tougher).

Overall, I was really well prepared for my next interviews because of Big Interview -- in fact, I was asked the exact questions I'd already practiced.

It really is worth taking the time to go through Big Interview, because it prepares you very well.

Julie P.
Human Resources

Big Interview really helped me practice interviewing skills. I loved that it's very user-friendly.

They had a lot of resources and sample videos that gave me insight.

Love the Answer Builder, it helped me write out answers to behavorial based questions.

It truly helps you feel more confident for an interview.

Danielle W.
Management Consulting

I found that Big Interview helped tremendously with my interview skills. Before using the site, I was very unsure of myself when it came to answering questions. It prepared me for some of the toughest questions and guided me towards the best, most appropriate answers.

I like how I can record myself answering the questions and play back my answers to see how I did. It helped me build my confidence and let me know what I was doing well and what I needed to work on.

I also found that using Big Interview gave me practice with public speaking, improved my communication skills and helped me do a better job analyzing what the job entails.

I am much more prepared for an interview than I was before I started using it.
