Great Phone Interview Tips
Brought to you by Personnel Strategies Inc.

Research
Prior to the phone call, research their website at length.

Why are you interviewing?
Know the reason why you would like to work at the company.

Laundry List
Have a list of accomplishments and pertinent skills in front of you and know why you are a fit for the job. If you cannot articulate this effectively, you may not get to the face to face interview.

Privacy Please
Schedule the interview at a time and number where you can be alone and talk freely. Land lines are better than mobile phones whenever possible.

Resume at the Ready
Be sure to have your resume in front of you so you can follow along with your background as they ask you questions.

Be Honest
Answer questions as directly as possible. If you do not know, say so. Be candid, friendly, cheerful and courteous. Confident but not cocky. If you sense that the other person wants to do lots of talking - let them. People like others who are interested in hearing them talk!

Next Step?
At the end of the interview, try to get a face to face interview. Ask what the next step will be before hanging up the call.

Address Weaknesses
If you can, find out from the interviewer what they feel your strong points and weaknesses may be. This way, in the face to face interview you can reemphasize the strong points and address any perceived weaknesses.
