How to conduct a phone interview

Be prepared for the call. This does not mean that you need to constantly be near your phone - on the contrary, too rapid a response can be somewhat confusing for the caller. Pobespokoytes that during a call, you won't be disturbed and close at hand was all that may be needed (indicated in the corresponding field nearby). Of course, on the same needs to be concerned and the employer, which inter alia, will be the leading party in the conversation and needs to plan its course.

Stick to the rules of business communication. Since personal contact is not intended to assess you can on a single criterion – the voice and manner of speaking. Take the time to clearly pronounce words and formulate thoughts before you start talking. Expand vocabulary: instead of the usual "Yes" you can say "of course" and "then" is replaced by "then". Similar, partly aristocratic way of speaking give you the impression of a serious, well-read and business people.

The employer, despite the fact that he is leading the party should take care of the comfort of the interviewee. Make sure he has time to talk and that he is still interested in the job.

In addition, keep your schedule for the next few days: if you appoint a personal meeting, you will quickly determine what time is best to do.
