FIVE TIPS FOR YOUR PHONE INTERVIEW
Do you have a phone interview in the future? Consider these six tips for making a lasting impression. Pass the phone interview and your next call will be to schedule an in-person interview.
- Do your research
- Google the person you will be talking to
- Look at the job posting you applied for
- Study the company’s culture by going to their website
- No dropped calls
In today’s world, land lines are hard to come by when doing a phone interview. If you plan on using your cell phone, make sure you have a good signal and are somewhere with no distractions.
- Dress for success
Although it’s a phone interview, dress up and smile. As silly as it may seem, it will make you feel more confident and the interviewer will see it through the phone
- Make sure to pause
The interviewer needs to take notes on you so don’t sprint through your answers. If you go too fast, some of your answers may be lost.
- Ask questions
At the end of every phone interview, the interviewer will ask if you have any questions. Be prepared with a few meaningful questions that tie in with your interview. Since the phone interview is the initial step to an in-person interview, stay away from asking questions about salary and benefits.
