Phone Interviews

Phone interviews are becoming very popular these days. For employers, they are a cost- and time-effective way to test your qualifications, interest, desired compensations, etc, and see if there is a match between you and the position. The interview results can be used to select a pool of qualified candidates for on-site interviews. This type of interview is ideal for screen candidates who are living out of the state. For job seekers, they are the trial run for the on-site interviews and are some opportunities that you should not bumble. Your goal is not to get an offer, but to secure an on-site interview from the interviewer or the hiring manager. Since the interviewer can not see you during the phone call, so you can take notes or have a written list of questions you want to ask handy. The disadvantage is that you can not use your body language.
