Need to better understand the interview process?
Big Interview offers video and written curriculum tracks that can be found in the “Learn” section on the top navigation bar. Here, you will be able to see two learning paths: The Fast Track and The Mastery Track. Both tracks have video lessons, practice questions, and quizzes to help you retain your knowledge:
- The Fast Track: This curriculum is intended for students who have an interview coming up in the next few days. This module has 16 video lessons and takes about an hour and a half to complete.
- The Mastery Track: This curriculum covers more in-depth content for competitive and difficult interviews. The module has 50 video lessons.
Once you complete these tracks, you will receive certificates of completion.
Need to Practice?
Big Interview can be used as a practice tool.
To access the Practice tools, click on the “Practice” tab on the top navigation bar. Students have access to 4 different tools: Practice Interviews, Answer Builder, Interview Roulette, and Question Library.
