Always be sure that you are in a quiet, comfortable surrounding, without distractions. You want to be free to speak openly and be sure that you can focus all of your attention on the matter at hand. Have a copy of your resume in front of you. You want to be ready when the interviewer refers to the resume or asks abt previous experience, etc. Take some time before the interview to prepare for the call. You want to be familiar with the company, research their website/social media pages, and have well thought out questions prepared. Know who you will be speaking with and what their title is. Use your Power Phone Skills!! This means to focus on speaking slowly, clearly, and be sure to use correct grammer– this is all the interviewer has to go on, so you must make a great impression! Try sitting upright, as if you were in the actual interview. Take your time, it is better to think about each answer rather than blurting out a quick response. Be clear and concise. You want to be direct and to the point…so don’t ramble. If you don’t know the answer to a question, do not fake it— just be honest. Do not chew gum during the interview! It is okay to have a glass of water close by, but don’t make it an interruption.
