Use a quality land telephone only
Many applicants never think about how important phone quality is during a phone interview screen. Cell phone can beep and die right on cue to interrupt an important answer to an interview question. Additionally a poor quality phone that goes snap, crackle, pop in the interviewers ear can be even worse.

Think about how awkward it would be for you and the interviewer constantly saying “I can’t hear you, could you repeat that? What did you say?” Oh, always be sure to turn off the call waiting before the interview! Leave yourself a note by the designated phone to remind yourself of this.

Job description, cover letter and resume
Keep these documents in plain view near the phone you will most likely use. Review the job description to be certain of what the employer is searching for. Keep paper and pen ready for note taking.

Always shape your responses to phone screening questions in a way that matches the needs of the job you are seeking. This will give the interviewer the impression that you are qualified for the job and the confidence to schedule you the all important face to face interview. Always take notes on what your are asked for 2 reasons:

(1) You will probably be asked these questions again in the face-to-face
(2) You can tailor your questions to ask the interviewer based on what you were asked.

Phone interviews like group or panel interviews appear to be on the rise.

What’s next teleconference phone panel interviews? Whew, now that’s a frightening thought!
