Waiting at home for a telephone interview for a job... how nerve wracking are moments like these!
Just think of it as character building 😆
Good Luck.
Do it naked.
Make sure you have notes, pen and paper, laptop, a good phone line (not mobile), glass of water, pause before answers giving time to think.
Good Luck
Are you sure your phone's working?
Best pick it up to check there's a dial tone.
But what if they tried to phone when you picked it up?
Best go to the toilet before you start so you don't get caught short during.
But what if they phone when you're in the toilet and you don't get back in time? 😉
Good luck 🙂
Probably best to stop posting on here whilst they are interviewing you. Unless of course you are going to ask us for mid interview advice!
Thanks everyone, apart from eckinspain 🙂
Personally, I think telephone interviews are a bit of a cop out, but at least you are one step nearer to a proper interview.
90% of communication is non-verbal. Sure, they can pick up on your tone, but so much is lost with a phone call.
If it's a call to determine if you have key skills, then all's good.
In this case I hope you tick all their boxes and move on to the next stage.
Stand up for the duration of the call. Sounds daft but it is meant to make you feel more confident and stuff.
And naked as suggested above.
