The Phone Interview


The Phone Interview

Preparation

1. Place a “Do not Disturb” note on your door
2. Turn off your stereo, TV, and any other potential
Distraction
3. Warm up your voice while waiting for the call
4. Have a glass of water handy, since you will not have
a chance to take a break during the call
5. Speaking of breaks, if your phone interview is at a
set time, make sure you answer “nature’s call” first
6. Turn off call waiting on the phone


The Phone Interview
The Secret

A major advantage one has during the phone interview is not
being seen and we must use this to our advantage.

Have all materials on ourselves and employers in front of us on the desk while
speaking on the phone and not just our resume, but a “cheat sheet” about
compelling stories, accomplishments, and topics one would like to bring up.

This portrays a well-informed, well-prepared interviewee. Keep in mind that this
preparation is not “cheating” at all. It is preparation, pure and simple.

So have Materials open and available when preparing for a phone interview.
They are there to support and enhance your value to the employer who will
greatly respect your ability to answer questions with focus and meaningful
content


The Phone Interview
The Secret – STAND UP.

A simple technique to increase the enthusiasm and positive
image that you project over the telephone is to simply stand up

Whenever you are talking with a potential employer on the phone
stand up, it gets the blood flowing, improves posture, and improves your
response time

An interesting note that many telemarketing companies realized that standing
up actually improves sales. So often these companies provide there employees
with hands-free headsets that allow them to stand and pace back and forth.
It gives an action perspective to an otherwise passive activity


The Phone Interview
The Secret – With Mirror.

In preparing for a telephone interview, make sure that there
is a mirror within view.

Why? Because looking in the mirror consistently throughout the
conversation will improve your telephone presence 110%.
Just smiling will make one come off much friendlier, more interested, and more
alert.

The mirror gives us instant feedback necessary to make instant modification
toward a more positive presence.

Remember we’re standing, so a wall mirror usually works best!
