We know that the interview is where you land the job, so we've added a FREE tool for members to use to prepare.
Big Interview offers an on-demand and simple-to-use job interview training system that combines both expert-developed lessons and the ability to actually practice, all from your home computer. This tool is being used in several states to help job seekers of all ages improve their interviewing skills. Features include:
- Virtual practice interviews - Industry-specific practice interviews at varying levels of difficulty, from easy to challenging.

You record your answers through your computer webcam and can share your interviews with a coach or colleagues for feedback and suggestions.
