Telephone Interviews

Telephone interviews are quite commonly used to determine which candidates will be called for a personal interview. Telephone interviews can also replace the actual in-person interview, so they are critical in deciding whether or not you will be hired. Here are some important tips to help you deal with them:

Be available:

Be available at the agreed-upon time. Employers are often busy calling candidates. You do not want to give them the impression that you do not appreciate their time. If you make an appointment to receive their call, give them all your attention.

Choose a quiet spot where you will not be interrupted by children, pets, or household chores, like washing dishes or vacuuming. Also make sure that there is no loud music, TV or other distractions. Inform others in your household that you need this time for an interview so that they will not interfere.

Be prepared:

Read your resume again and refresh your knowledge of all your skills and strengths. Just because you can have all your information next to the phone and the interviewer cannot see you looking at your resume, you still need to be prepared so you sound polished and confident.

Be professional:

Just as you would do in a personal interview, make sure you appear professional. Watch your speech patterns and do not talk too much or inaudibly. Pay full attention to the interviewer. Because he or she cannot see you, your body language or how you act when you respond to questions, all your feedback is coming to them through the phone, it is critical that your telephone skills be excellent.

Do not chew gum! Sit straight, smile, and make sure that you dress appropriately. Even though no one will see how you are dressed, it will change your attitude. By thinking and acting like this is a serious interview, you will come across as more confident and prepared.

Follow up:

Just as you would with a personal interview, follow up with the interviewer. Let them know that you appreciate the time they took to interview you. Remind them of your interest in the job and that you look forward to hearing from them regarding the position.

Remember, a phone interview is just like a regular interview. It can decide whether you get hired right away are chosen for a personal interview. It is important to treat it just like any other interview, so make sure that you are prepared, confident, and attentive to the interviewer.

Boa Sorte,
