Completing an Assignment

Start Your Assignment (from an email)

You may be invited directly to an assignment via email. Check your inbox and spam/junk folder for the invitation. Click its unique assignment link to open your assignment; if you are new to Big Interview, you'll be prompted to set up a password. For TWC claimants, invitations are sent after the automatic invitation process is complete. If the email has not arrived more than 72 hours after your initial meeting with your caseworker, contact RESEA.GiTJOBs@twc.texas.gov. If you received a code, skip to the next step.

Start Your Assignment (from a code)

If you have an assignment code from your instructor or administrator, first sign in through your school or organization’s unique Big Interview page—not the consumer paid account page. After registering or logging in, click on the Assignments tab, enter the code in the designated field, and click GO to begin. If your instructor sent an assignment link, make sure you are logged in before opening it.

If you need to reenter the code, return to the Assignments tab and enter the same code again. Assignment codes are not case-sensitive, but they must belong to an active assignment; an archived assignment cannot be accessed with its code.

Complete Interview Questions/Lessons

Your assignment may contain Interview Questions, Lessons, or both.

To complete Lessons: Watch the entire lesson and look for the green checkmark indicating completion. If the lesson is not marked as complete, use the Mark watched or Mark unwatched control as appropriate to update its status.
To complete Interview Questions: Click Start Recording and submit your response. You must complete all Interview Questions and watch all Lessons in an Assignment before you can submit it.
If a question or lesson still shows as incomplete, first confirm that you completed the required activity and saved your response, if applicable.

• If your recording is saved but the question still shows as incomplete: Do not immediately record the same answer again. Contact Big Interview Support and identify the assignment and question affected. Explain that the recording is saved but the completion indicator has not updated.
• If your recording failed to save or upload and you've reached the take limit: See Take Limits and Failed Uploads below for instructions on requesting a reset.

Before submitting your assignment, make sure all required questions and lessons show as complete.

Save Responses

After recording your response, click Save Answer.
If your answer will not save or submit, or the question shows that you have used all available takes (for example, 2/2), do not repeatedly attempt to record the same response. Follow the steps under Take Limits and Failed Uploads below.
If you have exhausted your attempts, contact your instructor or administrator to request a reset. If the problem appears to be a technical issue, contact Big Interview Support for help investigating it.

Take Limits and Failed Uploads

Your assignment may have "take limits" (a maximum number of recording attempts). If one required video fails to save or remains stuck uploading—especially at 0%—the affected question may remain incomplete, and the assignment cannot be submitted even if the other questions have saved successfully. Refreshing or leaving the page does not create a saved answer when no video appears for that question.
You cannot reset takes yourself. If you have exhausted your attempts, contact your instructor or administrator to request a reset for the affected question. Explain whether you need another attempt or whether a recording failed to save or upload. Your instructor determines whether to allow additional takes. If the issue involves a technical failure, contact Big Interview Support so we can investigate; Support can reset takes when a technical issue has been verified.
After the takes are reset, record the response again and save it. Before re-recording, use a practice video to check your camera and internet connection. If the issue persists, try Google Chrome or Firefox in an incognito window and check whether a VPN or security firewall may be interfering.
If the upload still fails, contact Big Interview Support through Chat Support or email support@biginterview.com. Include any error message, identify the affected assignment and question, and explain which troubleshooting steps you have already tried. A screenshot or screen recording of the recording and save/upload process can also help Support investigate the issue.

Sharing Assignment Videos

Assignments are a feature on the Big Interview Platform. The Assignments tab is located in the top menu within Big Interview.
If you would like to share your assignment videos, external sharing must be enabled for your account:

1. Go to the Assignments tab in the top navigation menu.
2. Click on the Submitted tab to view your completed assignment cards.
3. On the card for the assignment you want to share, click Check Reviews.
4. Click Share to view and copy your video link.

Note: Don't see the Share button? If you see Check Reviews but no Share option, external sharing may not be enabled for your assignment. Contact your instructor to ask whether external sharing can be enabled.

Check assignment completion and feedback

Open Assignments and select the Submitted tab to find assignments you have submitted. Choose Check Reviews on an assignment card to view available instructor reviews. To review saved assignment recordings and any available instructor feedback or AI scores, go to Practice > My Videos and open the Assignment Videos tab. Scores and feedback are only available if enabled for your organization or provided by your instructor. The assignment page indicates that an assignment was submitted; it does not establish whether you passed or met an external program's requirements. Contact your instructor or organization to confirm completion criteria or whether any response must be redone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why don't I see my assignment, or why am I missing from my instructor's dashboard?
Signing up for a Big Interview account does not automatically add you to an assignment. Your instructor must invite you to the assignment or provide its assignment code. After you accept the invitation or enter the code, you should appear in the assignment as an in progress student until you submit it.

If you believe you should already have access, contact your instructor or career services office to confirm that:

1. The assignment has been assigned to you and you have the correct invitation link or assignment code.
2. You are signed in with the correct account and institutional email address. If you registered with a personal email, provide your instructor with the email address associated with your school account.

How do I share my assignment video?
You can share an assignment video if your instructor has enabled external sharing for your assignment.

1. Go to the Assignments tab in the top navigation menu.
2. Click Submitted to find your completed assignment.
3. Find the assignment you want to share and click Check Reviews.
4. Click Share to view and copy your video link.
5. Share the copied link with the person who needs to view your video.

Don't see the Share button? If you see Check Reviews but no Share option, external sharing may not be enabled for your assignment. Contact your instructor to ask whether external sharing can be enabled.
You can also find saved assignment recordings under Practice → My Videos → Assignment Videos.

Can I upload a prerecorded video?
No. Assignment responses must be recorded directly within Big Interview. Uploading a prerecorded video file is not supported. Open your assignment, record your response within the platform, and save your answer there.
