How to Prepare for a Phone Interview

by Darlene McDaniel on May 7th, 2008

This morning I received a call from a gentleman I met on an airplane a few weeks ago while on vacation. He called because he has a telephone interview this coming Monday. His question, what recommendations do you have concerning a phone interview? Good question!

Here is what I shared:

1. Remember that a phone interview is all about elimination - screening out candidates.

2. Energy is your friend. You must be able to convey energy and enthusiasm through the phone.

3. Make sure you have a copy of your resume, cover letter and their job description.

4. Have your list of questions for the interviewer.

5. Have a copy of your game plan. Know what information you want to convey in the interview.
