When interviewing for a job via telephone, you may have to be a little more careful than when meeting the interviewee in person. You want to make a good impression and also ensure that the interviewer understands you perfectly. Below listed are a few tips on how you can have a successful phone interview so that you are happy and your interviewer is not disappointed.
1.Contact details: When providing your contact information, make sure you pick a phone number that allows for uninterrupted conversation. Do not provide a cell phone number, give your interviewer a landline number that he can contact you at, so that you do not have to worry about bad network coverage or call drops.
2. Practice: If you have a trusted friend, make sure you have a few rehearsals over the phone so that you can build on confidence. You also need to pre-empt the kind of questions that you may be asked so that you can draft answers that are brief and meet with the interviewers expectations.
3. Structure: If the interviewer does not provide you with a structure to the interview, politely tell him that you would appreciate if they could ask you all the questions first and then you will pose the questions you have after.
4. Etiquette: Make sure you have your manners in check before you start your telephonic interview. Try not to sneeze or cough and also please do not chew gum or eat anything while the interview is in process.
