# Restart Your Interview

### Understanding Interview Retake Limitations

Once you've submitted a response to an interview question, you **cannot** return to that specific question. This applies to:

-   Individual questions within an ongoing interview
-   Any part of a completed interview

### Requesting a Complete Interview Retake

If you need to retake your entire interview, please note:

#### For Completed Interviews

-   Only the hiring company can authorize a new interview attempt
-   You must contact them directly to request this opportunity
-   If approved, they will send you a new interview link

#### For In-Progress Interviews

-   If you wish to restart your current interview from the beginning
-   You still need the hiring company's explicit approval
-   The same contact process applies

## How to Contact the Hiring Company

You can typically find the hiring company's contact information in:

-   Your interview invitation email
-   Your candidate profile
-   The career website where you applied for the position

### Important Note About HireVue's Role

HireVue provides the interview software platform, but:

-   We are not directly involved in hiring decisions
-   We cannot authorize interview retakes
-   All retake requests must be approved by the hiring company
