Phone Interviews today are a lot more common than they were a few years back. The reason why is obvious – everyone has a phone and it\u2019s a lot more feasible for the recruiter. These interviews however could determine the next step of your career so there is a lot at stake. We\u2019ve compiled 5 useful tips for acing your Telephonic Interviews.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pre-Call Preparation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Always provide a reliable personal number while applying for jobs. Ensure that this same number is written in both your Application Mail and Resume. Avoid landlines or any other number which doesn\u2019t directly connect to you. Note down a brief profile of the company you\u2019ve applied to, the job description and your Resume. Understand that the conversation will circle around these so it\u2019s best to be prepared.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Creating an Appropriate Setting<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Sit in a quiet space to avoid unnecessary distraction. Moreover try and make sure everyone is informed so there isn\u2019t any interruption. Make sure that there\u2019s proper reception and turn off Call Waiting. Keep a pen and paper handy for taking notes. Most importantly be comfortable and relaxed.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Phone Etiquettes<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Do not chew or smoke during your call. Refer to your interviewer with respect at all times. It\u2019s alright to pause after every question and think out your reply instead of ranting. However keep the pauses to the minimal. Listen carefully to every question and do not interrupt. Be articulate and clear while speaking and keep your tone cool and friendly. Your replies will need to be concise and to the point.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Tackling Unscheduled Calls<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Always be prepared for unscheduled phone interviews that could take place anytime after sending across your application. Keep your ringtone volume high and make sure you know enough about the company, the job profile and the details of your own application to speak about these even when you\u2019re caught off guard. Upon answering you\u2019re allowed to excuse yourself \u00a0so you can move out to an undisturbed place. As a last resort it\u2019s alright to ask the interviewer to reschedule the call to a time convenient to both.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. After the Interview<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            It\u2019s always useful to note down the important points of the conversation after the interview. This can always be useful in preparing for future calls. Make note of the questions asked, the overall flow and most importantly what you could have answered differently. Send across a thank you note in the same thread as your application. Use this to express your gratitude for giving you a chance. This will help you appear enthusiastic about the job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
