So you’ve got a telephone interview. Hurrah!

Now what do you do?

Key points:

• Interviews are a two-way discussion
• Arrange a time that is convenient for you
• Have a professional message on the telephone number you have given the company
• Prepare thoroughly
• Review your CV and have it in front of you
• Prepare questions
• Have a notebook and pen ready
• Research the interviewer
• Behave like it’s a face-to-face interview
• Give vocal clues
• Take your time

Now, here’s what to avoid:

• Waffle
• Using the loudspeaker
• Informality

Good luck if you have any telephone interviews coming up.
