8 Tips for Cracking a Phone Interview
5. Pick a quiet place
It is the most important thing to do before you start the interview. A place with a lot of noise will make you miss out on the questions and make you misunderstand them. Choose a place where you are least likely to be disturbed.
6. Listen carefully
Listening carefully will help you answer questions easily and also know more about the person who is interviewing you. Asking them to repeat the questions or repeat things they have just said will irritate them and create a bad impression.
7. Keep water handy
A long conversation and tension will make your throat go dry, so keep drinking water and talk slowly and clearly so the person on the other end can hear and understand you well.
Sometimes phone interviews are not only a screening process but can also play a decisive role in your hiring. So be prepared and put in your full effort.
8. Return the call
Just like you would send a thank you mail in a regular interview, return the call to thank them for the time. This will let them know that you are keen and that you are following up on the interview.
