It’s always the right time to learn and practice interview skills! Student Affairs is piloting a new interview prep tool called Big Interview. The web-based software provides video tutorials and virtual mock interview practice that you can use as much or as little as you’d like from wherever you are. You even have the option to video-record a mock interview that can be shared with people in your network for feedback. You received an e-mail from Jen Bennett on February 19 with login information and additional instructions.

If you have a story to share, please contact Jen Bennett at bennett.1075@osu.edu.
