Big Interview is a powerful online tool that provides step–by–step hands–on practice with recorded mock interview question sets. Free to currently enrolled UT students, customize your own sets of questions tailored to your specific major or area of interest to simulate a real interview.

Schedule a Practice Interview on Campus: Try out your interview skills when the stakes are low! Some place to find practice or mock interview practice include college/school career centers, the Public Speaking Center and Texas Career Engagement. You can also sign up in Handshake to meet with a Longhorn Career Peer with Texas Career Engagement for a 30–minute mini mock interview. All you have to do is look for the “TCE Longhorn Career Peers Interview Strategies” appointment type. If you’ve never done a mock interview, this can be a great place to start!
