3 Tips for a Successful Phone Interview
Reno, NV - November 28, 2023
Job interviews can be
stressful, especially those over the phone. Without getting to meet the
interviewer in person, it can feel weird and make the tensions seem higher.
However, with the proper preparation and mindset, it will be easier than you
think. In this blog from a leader in temp job services, you’ll learn three tips for a successful phone interview.
1. Prepare and Practice
Just like with a traditional
interview, you need to prepare and practice beforehand. You should be ready to
answer any questions and have some of your own for the interviewer. Have a
friend or family member practice with you over the phone so you get comfortable
with the format. You should also make sure you have a quiet space prepared to
ensure there will be no distractions. It’s a good idea to have something to
take notes on and be prepared as well.
2. Be Confident
During the phone interview,
you will only have your voice to communicate. Unlike in an in-person interview,
there will be no nonverbal cues for the interviewer to pick up on. You will
need to speak with confidence. Be engaging and convey your enthusiasm in your
tone. This is how you will show your personality through the phone. Just
imagine that you are really sitting across from the interviewer, and make sure
to smile.
3. Listen Actively
Active listening is an
important skill for any job interview, but especially during a phone one. You
need to be sure you are staying present in the conversation and not letting
your mind wander. Listen to the interviewer’s questions carefully and respond
directly to what they ask. Don’t be afraid to ask clarification questions. That
will show the interviewer that you are paying attention to them as they’re
speaking.
Phone interviews don’t have
to be stressful. By following these tips, you’ll do just fine. If you’re ready
