Big Interview is an AI-powered interview preparation and resume building platform built for organizations that support job seekers at scale: universities, nonprofits, workforce development programs, and state agencies.
The core problem we solve: career readiness programs can't do 1:1 interview coaching for every participant. Staff are stretched thin, cohorts are growing, and the old model of sitting down with each person for 30–60 minutes of mock interview practice doesn't scale. Big Interview gives program teams the infrastructure to deliver structured, high-quality interview prep and resume support to hundreds or thousands of participants, without adding headcount.
How organizations use it
Administrators assign interview practice sets and resume tasks with deadlines, track completion and scores from a central dashboard, and export usage data for funder reporting. The platform replaces ad hoc coaching with a repeatable system: assign, practice, review, report.
Program teams can customize the experience for their population. Create custom question sets by industry, role, or specific employer. Build HireVue-specific practice modules. Tailor AI resume feedback to match your organization's best practices. Whether you're preparing first-time job seekers, career changers, veterans transitioning to civilian roles, or scholars competing for Rhodes and Fulbright Fellowships, the platform adapts to the use case.
What participants get
Learners practice answering interview questions on video and receive instant AI feedback across 16 dimensions, including pacing, filler words, eye contact, vocabulary, and answer content. It's the kind of detailed, specific feedback a human interviewer wouldn't think to give, available 24/7 and repeatable as many times as needed.
The platform includes 170+ video lessons covering everything from STAR method fundamentals to specialized playbooks for career changers, ESL learners, veterans, returning citizens, and new graduates. A library of 1,000+ practice questions spans industries and roles, so participants practice what they'll actually face.
On the resume side, Big Interview's AI resume builder scores drafts for readability, credibility, ATS compatibility, and alignment to a target job description. Resumes arrive at a coach's desk already 80% ready. Staff shift from line-editing to strategic advising.
Who uses Big Interview
The platform is trusted by 700+ U.S. universities, 10+ state government workforce programs, and organizations including OneTen Coalition, Merit America, Management Leadership for Tomorrow, the USO, Ron Brown Scholar Program, and CyberUp. It's used across higher education career centers, nonprofit workforce programs, state reemployment initiatives, and fellowship preparation pipelines.
One nonprofit partner saw professional development participation jump from roughly 50% to 90% after switching to Big Interview's structured assignment model. Another uses it to prepare scholars for the most competitive fellowship interviews in the world. A state workforce agency made it a mandatory part of reemployment services, logging over 13,000 recorded practice interviews in six months.
What makes it different
Most interview prep tools are built for individual consumers or for employers screening candidates. Big Interview is built for the organizations in between — the ones actually preparing people to succeed. That means admin tools, assignment workflows, cohort tracking, deadline management, and exportable reports come standard. It's not an open-ended self-service tool that participants ignore; it's a structured system that program teams can build into their curriculum.
The platform fits within federal micro-purchase thresholds and can be written directly into grant budgets as a program cost: no competitive bidding or RFP required.
Big Interview is developed by career coaching expert Pamela Skillings and powered by AI that's continuously updated to reflect current hiring practices. Over 1 million job seekers have used the platform, and on average, users report landing roles approximately 4 weeks faster than the national average.
