Phone Interview Tips
2
Overview

• Many firms begin the interview process by calling
  a prospective employee to explain the job offer,
  discover if the individual is a good fit, and
  measure his or her interest in the role.
• Make sure to have gone through a good practice
  for interview before the actual one. Here are few
  tips to ace any phone interview -

3
Prepare

• Failure to adequately prepare for any interview
  will almost certainly lower your chances of
  success.
• Research the company and the position as you
  would for a face-to-face interview, but keep in
  mind that building rapport over the phone is more
  difficult, so you really need to impress with
  what you say and know.

4
Show the Employer You're a Match

• Make a point of matching your qualifications to
  the job description so you can explain why you're
  a good fit for the role.
• Also, take a look at your resume. Know when you
  last worked and what your duties were at each of
  your prior employment.

5
Enunciate

• It's tempting to speak in a more casual tone over
  the phone especially if you're at home and in a
  relaxing atmosphere but it's critical that you
  speak clearly and concisely to be heard.

6
Be Confident

• You can't rely on a great suit to make a good
  first impression here, so be approachable and
  sell yourself via your knowledge and experience,
  even if you don't have the natural chemistry that
  comes with meeting someone in person.

7
Listen

• Because you can't see your interviewer, you need
  pay additional attention to make sure you
  comprehend what they're saying.
• Remember, during a telephonic interview or
  interview practice it's easy to misread what
  someone is saying when you're not in the same
  room with them.

8
Have your notes to hand

• The main benefit of doing an interview over the
  phone is that you may take as many notes as you
  need.
• Keep things neat and brief so you don't have to
  waste time reading what you've written while the
  interviewer waits for you to answer.

9
Practice your responses

• This is a general interview advice that applies
  equally well in this situation as it does in any
  other.
