💡6 Phone Interview Tips💡

📎Master the basics

Your CV should be within arm's reach to avoid any nerve-induced stumbling over your history and dates of employment.
You should have a thorough knowledge of your potential employer and a snappy elevator pitch for why you're a great fit.
Most importantly, make a connection.

📎Dress for success

The way you dress affects you psychologically: Clothing choices can make a difference in how we're perceived and, just as importantly, in how we perceive ourselves.

📎Set the scene

You need a quiet, distraction-free space for a phone interview. That may mean finding a room in the house and asking the kids not to disturb you. Turn off your call waiting.
Close your windows. Listen for unexpected noises and irritations before the call starts.

📎Mind your voice

Since your interviewer won't be able to see you, pay particular attention to your voice.
Speak clearly, take your time, and don't forget to smile - facial expressions can be detected in the tone of your voice.
Watch how long you talk.  It's appropriate to completely answer a question, but there's a difference between elaboration and rambling.

📎Yourself time

Most phone interviews last 15 or 20 minutes. Unless you're told to expect a longer call, you should allow at least 30 minutes for the conversation.

You don't want to cut the call short or deal with distractions if you go over the projected time. Longer is, after all, probably better.

📎End on a high note

Gratitude is appreciated. At the call's end, thank the interviewer for his or her time. Reiterate your desire to pursue the position and make it clear that you're looking forward to the next step.
