Ace Your Next Phone Interview

Ace Your Next Phone Interview

With remote work becoming increasingly popular, phone interviews are now a normal part of the hiring process. However, having to do an interview over the phone may add to the already nerve-wracking idea of the interview in the first place. With the right preparation, it can be easy. In this blog from a leader of career listings, you’ll find out how to ace your next phone interview.

Prepare Your Environment

Before you have your phone interview, it’s important that you prepare your environment. You don’t want to be out in a public place or surrounded by people or pets in your home. Choose a room that is quiet and free from any distractions. If you do have roommates or children in your home, make sure you tell them to avoid interrupting you unless it’s an emergency. Preventing any background noise will help you stay focused and allow the interviewer to hear you clearly.

Dress Professionally

Although this might seem unnecessary since the interviewer won’t be seeing you in person, dressing professionally can help and get you in the right mindset for the interview. Getting ready like you would for a traditional interview will help you feel prepared and can even boost your confidence. Don’t skip on dressing to impress just because it’s a phone interview.

Speak Confidently 

When doing a traditional in-person interview, the interviewer can pick up on nonverbal cues like eye contact and facial expressions. During a phone interview, the only thing they can rely on is your tone of voice. It’s important that you speak clearly and with confidence.

A phone interview can be nerve-wracking, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right preparation and mindset, you’ll be able to ace your next phone interview. If you’re ready to show off your interview skills, consider looking at job listings from Express Employment today.
