BIG Interview- The Practice Area
This is where the rubber meets the road. Here you will be able
to continually practice all kinds of interview questions until you
come away a lean, mean interviewing machine.
STEP 1: Click PRACTICE on your navigation bar. You’ll now see
six main interview practice categories to choose from:
1. GENERAL - this section covers about 90% of the questions
you’re likely to get in a job interview.
2. BY INDUSTRY – here you’ll be able to choose practice
interviews from dozens of industries and job roles. This is NOT
meant to replace the GENERAL interviews, but only to complement
them by offering you some industry specific questions.
3. BY COMPETENCY – here you can choose from a variety of
skill-sets and strengths your interviewer may be looking for in the
right candidate.
4. ADMISSIONS INTERVIEWS – here you can practice interviews by
program type and school, including undergrad, grad, business
school, law school and med school.
5. GOVERNMENT – here you can practice interviews for a variety
of federal and state jobs.
6. VETERANS – here you will find interviews for some of the
fastest growing jobs for veterans.

STEP 2: If you click GENERAL, you’ll be taken directly to a list
of interviewers tailored to standard, challenging or tough
questions. Whether you’re an entry-level employee trying to prepare
for your interview or you want to prepare yourself for difficult
questions you may receive from an interviewer, these questions are
designed to answer 80% of the questions that will typically be
asked during an interview.
If you choose to practice interview questions by INDUSTRY, or
COMPETENCY you’ll be prompted to select the type of interview you
want to practice below. You can choose the category that aligns
with the industry that you are interviewing for.

you want to practice, you can begin your MOCK INTERVIEW. Your
