Do you have an upcoming interview for a career opportunity or graduate/professional school?

If so, then be sure to use Big Interview to learn what interviewers are looking for and practice interviewing. Big Interview combines training and practice and gives cutting-edge, industry-specific, interview advice that is rooted in real-world scenarios and hiring practices.

Begin by reviewing some of the video lessons or browsing the question library to learn more about types of interviews, common questions, and creating effective answers.

When you are ready to practice, select the mock interview tool under the Practice tab.

After recording, you may request feedback on a limit of two videos per day. Just click the blue Share button. Enter interviews@umbc.edu under “e-mail the following people.” Also consider sending it to supervisors, family members, and mentors for review.

If you would like additional assistance, you can schedule a virtual appointment with a Career Advisor through your UMBCworks account.

Interviewing is a skill and, with practice, you too can refine your answers and feel more confident and natural during your interview.

Let Us Know Your Thoughts About Virtual Career Experiences!

Scott Resource Group, is partnering with selected career centers nationwide to conduct two important student research projects. The findings of these studies will influence how employers recruit students using virtual platforms going forward – and will impact their internship program design and execution. We’d welcome your participation in either or both of these two significant research projects. More information here!

Please respond to ScottResourceGroup@comcast.net indicating your interest this way:

Request ‘W3D Survey’ in the subject line if you’d like to receive a survey for the ‘Virtual Recruiting: What Worked, What Didn’t – and WHY?’ study

Request ‘IVIE Survey’ in the subject line if you’d like to receive a survey for the ‘Impact of the Virtual Internship Experience’ study

Request ‘Both Surveys’ in the subject line if you’d like to receive both the W3D and IVIE surveys.
