It wasn't until Interview Survival Kit by Netmodular was in the Featured section of my App Store that I came to view applications as a way to help calm down pre-interview nerves. Unfortunately, I was not able to download it because I don't have WiFi and the file size was too big for my 3G to do (or something, I don't know).
However, I searched "interview" in the store and found four free apps. Which one was best? First, meet the contenders.

If you have never had an interview before in your life and never been given any pointers, then this app may do you some good. It's in a book format, so you're reading about how the interview process works, what the interviewer is thinking, and to "put your best foot forward." It is helpful to prepare you what the interview will be like, if you've never had one before. One negative is navigating around it. Once you stop at a page and leave the app, you return back to the page. The only way to start from the beginning is to tap the screen, which is very slow and annoying.
3. Interview Wizard
This app only has 17 questions, which are very broad ones that will probably be the first couple an interviewer asks you. There is an upgrade to the app that costs money and it has "OVER 80 tough interview questions" with examples of categories that you get in one of the other free apps. This lite version comes off as one that wants you to buy the upgrade as opposed to actually helping you. This is more of a preview than anything else and not worth it. However, it is organized right and can give you a quick answer to easy questions if you think you have all the complicated ones down.
Which of the two are the biggest bang for your free buck? I'll tell you later ;-)
