Helpful Ways to Use Big Interview
Big Interview’s AI Feedback feature is an innovative way to improve your interviewing skills and pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses. When you save a mock interview video, the AI tool will process your video and then offer you immediate feedback and coaching on how to improve. You will get feedback on your use of “ums” and other filler words, vocabulary, tone, rate of speech, and even eye contact through the Eye Tracking Calibration tool.

For tricky and important questions, it can be helpful to outline your key thoughts and organize your strongest points. Big Interview provides answer builders which use the STAR framework (situation/task, approach, results) to guide you through creating great answers, including strong stories for behavioral questions, and solid responses to questions like “Tell me about yourself” and “What are your greatest weaknesses?”

Cover letters can be a confusing and overwhelming part of the job search process. Why do I need to include a cover letter with my resume? Who is really reading my cover letter? The truth is that at some point in time your resume and your cover letter will be reviewed by a real live person (if you’re lucky). With a strong cover letter you’ll know you’re doing everything possible to get past the gatekeepers and score an interview.
Check out Big Interview’s cover letter curriculum to discover all the secrets behind a persuasive and successful cover letter.
