Phone interviews are most often used as a preliminary screen. When preparing for the interview it's important to consider:
Phone interviews are often recorded so you may want to find out whether yours will be. It's important to pay particular attention to getting your key messages across quickly - write key attributes down and have this available during the phone call. Be willing to repeat these with the use of examples.
More recently, there has been an increase in Skype or video interviews. This is particularly likely if applying for jobs overseas or where key staff are located overseas.
Remember to dress as you would for a face-to-face interview and check what else will be in the shot with you before the interview begins.
- tone of voice - ensure you're enthusiastic and use positive language;
- battery life - if using your mobile charge it fully before the interview;
- location - find a quiet place for the interview, where you will be undisturbed by noise or others.
