How to Conduct a Successful  Telephone Interview
If you’re looking for work
you need to know that most first interviews
are conducted   via  telephone
This  allows the recruiter  to  pre-screen   candidates
Unfortunately…
Many people make mistakes
… that prevent them from moving forward in the process
Here are 5 common mistakes…
#1   Conducting the interview  “on-the-fly”
#2 Not  properly preparing
#3: Unable to clearly articulate themselves
Failing to demonstrate their expertise #4
#5.  Failing to ask the  right questions   early in the interview
Here are some strategies to consider…
First…
If you get an  unexpected call…  … reschedule it.
This gives you time to prepare.
If the recruiter refuses to reschedule ask yourself…
… if you want to work for that company  (I know I wouldn’t!)
During your call… ,[object Object]
83%   of your message is  delivered through  your  tone
Stand up  during your call
This will give you   energy
Keep your resume handy  for reference
Record  key points  on  index cards
Have  success stories  ready at your fingertips
Remember  to  smile!
Make sure  ALL distractions  are eliminated
Have your questions ready
Make sure you listen!
Lastly, at the end of the interview, make sure you  ask for the next step
