We all know that interviews can be nerve-wracking experiences: sleepless nights, endless flashcards, trying to feel comfortable in some newly-bought interview clothes. But whether you’re worried about what to say, how you come across, or just freezing up under pressure, Big Interview is here to help. Think of it as your own AI-powered, personal interview coach, available around the clock, giving you honest feedback so you can walk into an interview feeling confident and prepared.
What does the AI actually do?
Big Interview uses artificial intelligence to help you practice and improve:
Instant Feedback:Record yourself answering questions and get immediate feedback on your tone, pace, and even the ‘um’ and ‘like’ fillers that we all use when we’re nervous. Big Interview also picks up on eye contact and facial expressions – meaning you’ll soon be feeling confident enough for any interview scenario.
Practice that fits your schedule: Whether you’ve got a few days or a few weeks before an interview, Big Interview adapts to you. Choose Fast Track if you’re short on time, or dive deeper with the Mastery Track which covers more complex or difficult interviews. Big Interview is there to work to your schedule, meaning you can fit it in when you need it most.
Industry-specific questions: Practice with real questions from your field and get personalised feedback each time you try. You’ll soon see yourself getting better, which is a huge confidence boost. It also means that when you meet with the staff in our Careers service, you can focus on specifics instead of having to go over the basics.
Track your progress: See exactly where you’re improving and what you might want to work on a bit more. It’s all laid out clearly so you know you’re making real progress: this is particularly useful when you are having Careers conversations with Queen’s staff, as you can discuss the areas you know you need to work on.
Getting Started
Practice anytime: Jump in whenever suits you: midnight, Sunday afternoon, between classes, whenever: Big Interview will always be there when you need it.
Try, review, improve: Record an answer, watch the AI feedback, then try again. Repetition is how you become comfortable and more confident in yourself.
Complete assignments: Your Careers team or lecturers might set you specific tasks. These are designed to prepare you for real interviews in your industry. They are hugely useful as they will give you a glimpse into real-world experiences and make sure you are prepared for your post-graduation journey.
Ask for help: Big Interview is just one tool among many at Queen’s: make sure that you reach out to Careers, Employability and Skills with any questions you have about your employability journey.
