It is important for you to be prepared for a telephone interview. Always keep your resume in a place where you can easily view it. You will be asked questions during the interview that you may need to answer with the information you have on your resume. You should always have a pen and paper ready. You may be required to write down important information, and you won't have time to go look for these things.
Missing the interview will kill your chances of being hired immediately. Before the interview starts, you will need to make sure you are in a quiet place. Noisy distractions such as pets, children, and loud noises must be stopped before the interview starts. While conducting a telephone interview may sound easy, it is more difficult than you think.
It is best to practice the telephone interview. You can do this with your family or friends. While speaking properly is important in a standard interview, it is crucial on the telephone.
The interviewer will place an emphasis on your tone of voice, background noise, and the way you answer questions. If you speak too soft, too fast, or too loud, you will increase your chances of failing the telephone interview.
When you talk on the phone, avoid using the expressions "ums," "okays," and "uhs." Saying these things too much will show that you are not prepared, or you lack confidence.
Having a small glass of water nearby can help you keep your mouth dry, and this can improve your voice.
As in regular interviews, never interrupt the person that interviewing you. Wait until they ask a question or make a statement before you give a response.
Always use the title of the person you are talking to.
