7 Phone Interview Tips

1) Use a land line
Don't risk having problems with your cell phone connection, use a solid line. You want this to run as smooth as possible.

2) Keep relevent materials near by
Lay everything out in front of you including your resume, notes about career objectives, and your cover letter

3) Don't get distracted
Keep a good atmosphere, by removing any sounds or television. Have a quite enviroment for your interview

4) Speak slow and clear
You want to speak loud and clear enough to fully communicate to the employer. You may recognize that you need to change your volume if the employer is asking for you to repeat your answers.

5) Remeber you can't be seen
Beware of what your saying because it can be misinterrpreted because of lack of body language.

6) No eating drinking or chewing gum
Everyone knows this rule, but as creatures of habit it is easy to pop that potatoe chip in at the wrong time

7) Prepare questions ahead of time
Just like a regular interview, it is really important to prepare a few questions to ask your potential employer
