Employers use telephone interviews as a way of identifying and recruiting candidates for employment. Telephone interviews are often used to screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for interview. They are also used as way to minimise the expense involved in interviewing out-of-town candidates.
WHAT TO DO IN ORDER TO GET A JOB
- Read the job description we have attached carefully, know what job you are applying for.
- Read the Company Profile we have attached carefully and do your ownresearch on the Internet, also Google the Company to obtain moreinformation, know about the Company you are applying to work for.
BE PREPARED
- Keep your CV in clear view so it is at your fingertips when you need to answer questions.
- Have a short list of your accomplishments and experience written down.
- Have a pen and paper ready for note taking.
- Turn call-waiting off so your call is not interrupted.
- Clear the room - evict the children and the pets, turn off the stereo and theTV, close the door.
Be ready to tell the interviewer about yourself for instance:
- Name, where you live and educational level.
- Talk through your work history, what responsibilities have you held.
- Why are you leaving your job?
- What interests you about the job you are applying for.
- What do you know about their Company?
- What can you contribute to this Company?
DURING THE TELEPHONE INTERVIEW - Be Enthusiastic: You are only a CV, a piece of paper to the potential employer. They are likely to have many CV's. Your enthusiasm and energy must stand out.
- Stand whilst on the phone This allows your voice to project and sound more confident. If you have a mirror to look in, use it. Your facial expressions will reflect through your voice. If you are smiling you will sound interested, if you are frowning you will sound disinterested.
- Do not smoke, chew gum, eat, or drink: Sound carries down the telephone, this is unprofessional.
- Smile: Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice.
- Speak slowly and enunciate clearly: Many people get very nervous during telephone interviews and may have a tendency to mumble into the telephone. Relax, speak slowly, do not sound rushed or anxious.
- Use the person's title (Mr. or Ms. and their last name.): Only use a first name if they ask you to.
- Do not interrupt: It is very rude to interrupt the interviewer or to give short answers such as Yes and No.
- Take your time: It is perfectly acceptable to take a moment or two to collect your thoughts.
- Remember your goal: Your goal is to set-up a face-to-face interview. After you thank the interviewer at the end of the call for allowing you the opportunity of having a telephone interview ask when they would like to meet with you.
Remember we have gone to a lot of trouble to organise this telephone interview for you, our client has also scheduled time out of their day to conduct this telephone interview with you, therefore we are not happy to cancel interviews at short notice unless there is a really valid reason for doing so.
