Phone interview
tips
�
Know which zone gives you best comfort. Many
people are well-performed in such a quite room;
in contrast, the rest would rather pace
around. If you are just interested in sitting
still, the perfect choice for you is to be in a room
freely from being bothered. In case walking and
talking is your style, a prepared route should be
put under careful considerations. This will be a
help in ensuring that no outside noise or
unwelcomed
distractions
such as sirens can appear. Make certain that the walk
is totally fresh and leisure so that your
breath maintains calm.
�
Smile. Pessimistic or strained attitude can be
easily revealed through a phone call. Before the
interview, relax yourself with some minutes
of listening to a favorite song or enjoying a funny
video on YouTube. Being in a good mood is of
great importance.
� Set
call waiting in disable mode. In case you cannot
disable call waiting, you must ignore if
there is someone calling you.
� Be
well-dressed. Facts have shown that if you look
best dressed in at least business casual attire, it
will create such a great difference in your
capacity of concentrating on the interview. Putting on
the appropriate clothes and having a serious approach
to the call is a good way that makes your
behavior become professional no matter how your surroundings
are.
� If
the call is made on a cell phone, ensure
that it is not windy nearby. The
noise of wind may avert you from clearly
hearing the questions and the interviewers
may find it much more difficult to get your
answers.
�
Chewing gum, cigarettes, food or other stuffs are
not advised to be used. They can butt invocal
chords while the interview is in progress.
�
Listen. If there is no visual communication
during a personal interview, it will be very difficult
to know what time is best to stop talking. If you are
too nervous and your blood flows too fast, the
mistake of over-saying is easily apparent. Be
certain that you speak slowly and clearly. As soon as
you have finished answering all the
questions, feel fine with such probably
inconvenient moment of silence. Accordingly, the
interviewer can see that you are done, and then they
will continue to ask. You should listen and be
patient to wait for them, and afterwards, fulfill
their wonders, and then proceed. It is advised
that you note down some key points of each question.
�
Stand up. A stretch of your body will help you
relax with a full strength of your lungs.
Accordingly, you
can speak more accurately and powerfully.
�
Practice makes perfect. In all cases, practicing
before the real interview offers you better preparations
for the popular interview questions. Do not
forget to ―act in practice as you will in the
game‖. You can see a big difference.
� If
you wear earrings, they should be put off before
the phone call. A lot of people get used to
adjusting the phone's headset while the
call is on. It is likelihood that such earrings
will rub up against the phone; an awful and
bothering noise can be created for those who are now on
the call.
� No
speaker phone.
� Do not forget to ask
for the names of your interviewers. And
then, remember to give them a polite thank you.
