Interview Tips
Now
a days, employers use telephone interviews as a way of identifying and
recruiting candidates for employment. Phone interviews are often used
to screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants who will
be invited for in-person interviews. While you are actively job searching,
it is important to be prepared for a phone interview on a moments notice.
You never know when a recruiter call and ask if you have a few minutes
to talk.
When there is a call for you from company then you need to clear your
head and shift your focus from family to your career. When you pick
up the phone ask the recruiter to repeat his or her name. Verify
the spelling and write it down. Use the recruiter's name in your response.
You are now ready to make a good impression during your first five minutes.
There
are three basic types of telephone interviews:
• You initiate a call to the Hiring Manager and he or she
is interested in
your background. The call from that point forward
is an interview.
• A company calls you based upon a previous contact. You
will likely be
unprepared for the call, but it is still an interview.
• You have a pre-set time with a company representative
to speak further
on the phone.
