Don’t Miss The Next Step For Your Career! Only 24 Hours Left To Get Big Interview For Just $49
Are your interviewing skills holding you back from getting the residency, fellowship or career you’ve been dreaming of?
Are you ready to go beyond random “interview tips” online and learn a system that will win you the killer job and salary you deserve?
Do you need to stand above the competition and get the insider knowledge that will make you shine as a top candidate?
Introducing Big Interview
Even if you only have a day to prepare
Even if the position you want is ultra-competitive
Even if you can’t crack an initial phone interview
I’ve been featured in Forbes, ABC News, and CNN, written for the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal even called me “a guru in the world of job interviews.”
A few years ago, I started Big Interview to bring the same training and tools that I give to my elite clients during one-on-one coaching, to a larger group of achievers. Forbes calls it “one of the best websites for your career”.
What I’ve learned over decades of coaching individual clients and teaching hiring managers how to screen candidates is that there is a system for giving a winning interview . There’s a way to take away all the ambiguity, the well-intentioned but incorrect advice from family and friends, the nerves, and instead concisely present yourself in a way that “pushes all the right buttons” for a hiring manager.
But try googling “job interview advice” and see if you find anything that matches up.
You’d probably find anecdotes about humorous answers to “trick” questions (try at your own peril), reminders to bring a resume, and questions to ask on the day of your interview, or a list of common job interview questions.
But you won’t find the hands-on practice tools we’ve developed and tested with hundreds of thousands of users to help them confidently win their job interviews.
“A guru in the world of job interviews”
A Small Sample of Big Results from Big Interview Users
OPTION #1
You start your day already wired from a restless night of sleep and make a quick “Job interview today- wish me luck!” post on social media. The radio is turned off during the commute — instead, you’re totally tuned in to all the nervous self-talk in your head (“What if they ask about that gap in my resume? Are there going to be other people there waiting to interview for the same job? Awkward!”). Before leaving the car, you pause for a couple of deep breaths… but the momentary sense of calm is probably gone as soon as you’ve set foot into this new, unfamiliar building.
Once you’re finally called in for the interview, you smile through the nerves, but are only half present — busily analyzing everything you say and noticing small details in the room while speaking. Maybe at some point you’re caught off-guard by an unexpected question and stumble over your words while searching for an answer. Or you totally forget to mention how you spearheaded an incredible project that tripled sales at your last company.
Your nerves disappear as you leave, but you also have no idea how that interview went! The feeling is markedly better than the potentially dangerous heart rate you had an hour ago, but you don’t necessarily feel any closer to your dream job or the new career you were looking forward to.
Option #2
You wake up with all the confidence of an army general who not only just read “The Art of War”, but also saw the enemy’s entire battle plan. You know exactly how the day ahead of you is going to go — you’ve planned and prepared for this thoroughly. The email you got last night from Big Interview with a “Pre-Interview Checklist” and last-minute resources gave you an easy night’s sleep. Today, you take a huge stride towards reaching your full potential.
The confidence doesn’t come from just knowing exactly what questions the interviewers will ask, and the best ways to answer each — you’ve also discovered exactly what makes you a star candidate. You know the unique skills and traits you have that will get hiring managers dying to hire you. You feel like a million bucks.
The interview itself goes smoothly. After all, you’ve prepared, practiced, and refined these answers. You even put yourself through much more stressful situations and difficult questions while practicing. At this point, it all feels easy.
You head home with full confidence that not only did the interview go well, you did everything in your power to prepare and show off your strengths. You’re operating at the top of your game.
Want your next interview to feel more like OPTION #2?
Let’s dig into exactly how to make that happen…
The Top 3 Challenges You’ll Face in an Interview
There are 3 main challenges that you’ll face walking into any interview — whether you’re a college student vying for that great internship or a C-level executive being considered by a Fortune 500 company.
If you can focus your preparation to solve just these three challenges, you’ll be unstoppable in any interview. Here’s how to do it:
Know Exactly What Questions To Expect
Besides being the most common source of pre-interview anxiety, not knowing what questions to expect can leave you stuttering or stuck in key moments of the interview.
You can find our free guide to the top 10 most common interview questions on our blog, but you’ll also need to know about questions specific to your experience level, your industry, your job role, and key “competencies” like teamwork and leadership. (There are thousands of these inside Big Interview, complete with insider insights and expert-crafted sample answers).
Craft Great Responses That WOW Interviewers
Forget rambling on and on or losing your train of thought.
You need to carefully think about the best way to answer each question, pick stories that make your skills and achievements shine, and give the interviewer everything they’re looking for.
That’s right: stories. The “Answer Builder” tool inside Big Interview will help you mine the depths of your memory to find the right stories to tell, and then walk you step-by-step through scripting these stories into a proven format that captivates interviewers. And of course, our training curriculum gives you all the “triggers” and competencies you’ll want to make sure to “check off” in your answers.
Overcome Your Nerves And Deliver Naturally
Sure, you don’t want to be a nervous wreck, but you also don’t want to be a robot! If you don’t practice your answers, you’ll never feel completely satisfied with the interview.
Careful and thorough practice is the name of the game if you want to fix your body language and catch all those pesky “uh”s and “ummm”s.
Big Interview will help you practice for any nuanced situation you might face —prepping you for everything from confrontational hiring managers to unpredictable questions (-or even inappropriate ones to sidestep!) You won’t get our years of research and testing by asking a friend (or a mirror) to be your practice buddy.

“I had been looking for a job for the last five months. I had a lot of difficulties at first- I didn’t realize the importance of preparation until I got rejected for a job. I used to think that formal education and experience were more than enough. Your simple, straightforward and effective sample answers definitely helped me in my job interview preparation- I have now attained my desired role of Financial Accountant, WITH the salary I wanted! Thank you very much for all your support.”
“I wanted to let you know that I received a call from our College President today unofficially offering me the new Senior Director of Operations position. I have worked with and for the President for 21 years which makes it difficult to make a new impression. But he told me that he was blown away at how well I interviewed and that I made him feel young and energized by my energy and passion for the job. In the end I had a total of 6 separate interviews for this position. All the practice gave me that extra boost of confidence I needed to go into the interviews knowing that I would be ready for whatever they asked. Thank you so much for your expertise and support.”
