How to nail a phone interview If you’ve recently applied for a job, it’s likely that someone will call or email you to set up a formal interview for the position. However, you should also be ready for an informal phone interview. Here’s how to navigate this type of call and ensure you meet the hiring manager in person.
Be prepared
A phone call can happen at any time. Research the company when you first apply and prepare a few questions to ask the recruiter during a phone interview. In addition, always keep a copy of your CV close by, keep your phone fully charged and answer calls in a professional, courteous manner.
Be available
If you’re contacted by email with a specific time for the phone interview, prepare yourself accordingly. Notably, make sure you’re in a comfortable and quiet location at the time of the call and review the details about the
company and the position. If you receive the call unexpectedly, take it if it’s a good time for you. If it isn’t, let the call go to voicemail and call back as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can answer and ask them to call you back at a more convenient time.
Be a good listener
Pay attention to the person speaking and never interrupt what they’re saying. Be sure to take notes on the conversation as they may come in handy during a formal interview, should you have one. If you’re not sure how the phone interview went, don’t be shy to ask about the next steps in the hiring process. This will give you a good idea whether or not you’re going to have a second interview.

3 standard job interview questions and how to answer them Do you have an upcoming job interview that you want to ace? If so, here’s how to answer three often-asked questions.
1. What can you tell us about yourself? This open-ended question can be hard to answer. However, it’s the perfect opportunity to sell yourself as the best fit for the position. Prepare your answer ahead of time and focus on demonstrating how your most prominent qualities make you well-suited for the job
If you want to make a lasting impression, you’ll have to differentiate yourself from other applicants. To do this, research the company and its mission and explain why you want to work with them. Also, be sure to focus on the unique qualities and talents that you can bring to the role.
In order to make the best possible impression, make sure you’re prepared for the interview. Learn as much as you can about the company and the position you’re applying for and run through these and other job interview questions.
2. What’s your greatest weakness? The trick with this question is to focus on the steps that you’re taking to overcome your shortcomings. For example, if your greatest weakness is that you lack punctuality, explain what you’re doing to manage your time better. This will show your potential employer that you’re both aware of your flaws and willing to make changes to remedy them.
