Seven Phone-Interview Tips

作者:stephen    文章来源:方向标英语网    点击数:    更新时间:2010-5-6 【我来说两句

 

4. Speak slowly and clearly. When you speak to people face to face, you’re able to understand what they’re saying more clearly because you can see their mouth move. So in a way, you’re reading their lips. Neither you nor your potential employer will be able to do this over the phone, of course, so speak clearly and a little bit more slowly than you would if you were talking to the interviewer in person. If you can’t hear him, drop hints that he isn’t speaking clearly or loud enough by politely asking him to repeat himself. If this makes you uncomfortable at all, you can always blame it on your phone: “I’m really sorry, it’s hard to hear you, the volume on my phone just won’t go up!”

5. Remember—you can’t be seen. That means that anything you say cannot be interpreted by your body language. Beware of jokes or sarcastic remarks that would have been harmless had he seen your facial expression. Maintain your professionalism; stay on target with the interview topics and focus on the key information about you that will get you hired.

6. No eating, drinking, or chewing gum. This is self-explanatory. But, we humans are creatures of habit and might pop a potato chip in our mouths at just the wrong moment. However, when I say no eating or drinking I mean during the phone interview. You should eat beforehand to get your brain going so you can focus.

7. Prepare questions ahead of time. Just like in a personal interview, prepare a few questions to ask your potential employer at the end of your phone interview. Some examples are: “What does a typical day look like for an employee with this job?” “What are some skills I would need to develop in order to excel in the position I’m applying for?” “What software/equipment would I be using?” Remember—do not ask about salary or benefits until the employer has brought it up. Fortunately, it can be less intimidating interviewing over the phone with these telephone interview tips and you may even feel more confident that you’ll do well. Great! As long as you’re fully prepared and take the necessary precautions, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t have a successful phone interview.
