How To Master Telephone Interviews
By Nathan Newberger, on assignment with Access MILLIONS of JOBS!
Don't be afraid to pick up the phone! The telephone interview is by far becoming more and more popular.
Many job hunters still get that adrenalin rush even with the phone interviews. But following the tips and advice in this article will help you master the phone interview and get you to the next step - the face to face interview.
Often, the first step in the hiring
process is the telephone interview.

Companies and the recruiters they employ use the telephone interview to develop a pool of candidates to look at closer, and to pare down the number of applicants for a job opening.
The advantages to the company are:
- the cost is less.
- the list of questions can be standardized.
- the interview can be delegated to a lower level (cheaper) employee.
- it can be done quickly.
The aims on both sides of the telephone are limited. The caller wants a selection of qualified candidates, and the process screens out many candidates.
If the call is a straight forward screening call, the caller will likely ask about your experience, availability and salary requirements. Your strategy is to provide facts that support your resume, with some context about your performance.
Try using numbers and facts to be effective, however, you don't want to volunteer anything that could disqualify you. Make every effort to sound professional but not personal, as this call is not to establish rapport.
Since you are unlikely to win the job from a telephone interview, your goal is to secure an in-person interview with the person who has the authority to hire.
Approach The Call With That Attitude.
