Preparing for a phone interview. They can’t see you……….and you WILL be judged by your phone and listening skills.

Be on time!
Have in front of you:
§ Your resume with highlights of pertinent skills and strengths
§ Company information
§ List of questions to ask
§ Bottle of water (beer may make you goofy)
§ Pen and paper
Listen to their questions. Answer in detail, but DO NOT ramble!

End call with a thank you, interest statement and ask what the next step will be.
