Re: phone interview

(Anonymous) 2013-03-06 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
I've done plenty of phone interview before (both as an interviewer and an interview). Coupla tips:

-Act as in you're actually going on an in-person interview. Wash your face, brush your teeth, wear something interview-appropriate. Though they can't see you, it'll still get you in the right state of mind.

-Similar to the above: Don't sit on a couch or a comfy chair. Sit at a desk or at your dinner table. That way, you're less likely to slouch and get in that state of mind.

-Have a pad and paper in front of you so you can jot down important info, write down questions for later, and/or remind yourself to talk about anything specific that the interview may want to know.

-Have a glass or bottle of water in front of you, just in case.

-Silence your cell phone, electronic devices, or any other thing with an off button that might make noise. You don't need the distraction.

-Be friendly and honest. As an interviewer, I could tell when people were bullshitting (lots of "ums" and awkward pauses after a particularly difficult question, followed by a quick and breathless explanation). Do not provide an answer to something you don't know. You can say that you're somewhat nervous (if true), or that you don't know, then give an explanation to the best of your ability.

-Take a few deep calming breaths in the few minutes before the interview is supposed to begin. You'll be surprised at how much it will put you at ease.

Good luck, anon, and let us know how it goes tomorrow!
