"I used Big Interview for my hope to work in the entertainment industry.

Big interview prepared me for a very strenuous interview process. It's a very competitive internship and I was one of three candidates chosen out of a pool of 40 and undoubtedly Big Interview prepared me for the process. I wouldn't be here today if it hadn't been for Big Interview."

"This tool has been instrumental in helping my students gain confidence on how to do an interview. When we go later in the semester and they have to interview with real people, they feel that this has given them confidence. This is a great tool. I'm glad I use it and it has an impact on my students."

Peter Teitelbaum

“Big Interview is really intuitive… amazing for preparing students”

“Big Interview helped me calmly get through the interview which later allowed me to accept the job that I had as a Security Operations Intern at Wells Fargo.”

Tyler

“When students go in to use the tool, I find that they are reporting that they are advancing in their interviewing abilities because of the ‘theory’ to ‘practice’ experience. They learn the theory and from there they can actually practice.”
