Big Interview teaches interviewing as a skill. It has a large library of video lessons, frameworks for common questions, and video practice with AI feedback, and it is widely used by career centers and workforce programs.

Hey Vitae starts from the interview you actually have. Pick the date, paste the posting, and the prep is built for that round: the questions it will ask, sample answers from your own resume, and a researched brief on the company. You rehearse out loud with an interviewer who has read the posting and follows up, and every answer comes back with your own words quoted and the one thing to fix.

If you want to learn interviewing from the ground up over weeks, Big Interview’s lessons are a good fit. If you have a date on the calendar and want to walk in ready for that room, that is what Hey Vitae is built for.

When Big Interview is the better choice

We'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong subscription. Here's when the other option is the better call.

  • You want a structured video course on interviewing, not prep for one specific interview.
  • You prefer a one-time lifetime price.
  • Your career center already provides it.

Built for candidate momentum

Less setup, clearer next steps.

Hey Vitae is intentionally organized around the parts of the search candidates actually have to manage: roles, stages, prep, documents, follow-ups, and outcomes. Instead of asking you to build your own system or endlessly rewrite materials, it gives each job a clearer next step.

  • See which jobs need attention
  • Prep from the role you’re actually interviewing for
  • Keep notes, docs, reminders, and outcomes connected

Common questions

  • What is Hey Vitae?

    Hey Vitae is a job-search tool that leads with the interview. Pick the date and paste the posting, and you rehearse the interview you actually have, with an interviewer who has read the posting and feedback that quotes your own words and names the one thing to fix. Around it: your resume read the way a recruiter reads it, roles that fit, and every application and follow-up in one place. Tracking is free.

  • Can a career center or program give Hey Vitae to its people?

    Yes. Organizations can buy coverage for a group, handed out as one code per person, and career coaches get a workspace to work alongside the clients who invite them. The person always owns their account, and organizations see the program, never anyone’s search.

  • Is Hey Vitae free?

    Yes — Free tracks unlimited jobs, keeps 5 saved documents, includes practice drills and the likely questions for every interview, and lets you try the AI, with no card needed to start. One interview coming up? Its full prep is $12, no subscription. When your search picks up, Pro makes everything unlimited — match scores, cover-letter feedback and resume coaching on every job, a prep kit for every interview, Deep Prep research before each one, and 5 practice interviews a month. It's $29/month, or a $129 Job Search Pass for 6 months of access with no auto-renewal.

  • How does Hey Vitae's price compare?

    Competitively — and our numbers are the ones we'll stand behind. Hey Vitae is free to start with unlimited job tracking. Pro is $29/month, or about $22/month on the 6-month Job Search Pass, and it covers both halves of a search: unlimited Apply IQ, resumes, cover letters and interview prep, plus Deep Prep research and 5 practice interviews a month. The pass is a one-time purchase that doesn't auto-renew, which is worth checking against any tool quoting you a weekly rate.

  • Who is Hey Vitae best for?

    Anyone running a real job search — any industry, any experience level — who wants more structure than a spreadsheet and more substance than another AI resume tool. Especially helpful if you're juggling multiple roles, interview rounds, and follow-ups.
