Interview Practice

Preparing and practicing your answers to interview questions ahead of time is one of the most valuable things you can do to prepare for an interview.

You want your answers to demonstrate that you are the best candidate by connecting your skills and experience directly to the qualifications in the job description.

Practice out loud until you are able to answer interview questions naturally and with confidence.

1. Go to BigInterview's UC portal. (We recommend using the latest version of Chrome or Firefox.)
2. Log in with your UC credentials.
3. If you have been given an assignment code, enter it in the Assignment Code box. Assignment codes are provided by your professor or advisor and take you to a specific practice interview assignment. If you don't have an assignment code, simply click "Practice" and "Practice Interviews" to get started.

At the end of the interview, you have the option to request a counselor review or conduct a self-assessment.

If you would like additional interview practice, you can come to walk-in hours or make an appointment with a career coach.
