Phone Interview Etiquette – How to succeed in a phone interview
Let's Talk
When people are nervous, they often talk too fast, or the tone of their voices goes up. The phone tends to magnify these problems, so you want to speak in a straightforward, normal tone of voice. You may find it helpful to imagine yourself as some icon of confidence, like George Clooney or James Bond. When you answer the phone, try to sound relaxed and confident, and glad that you're going to have a chance to do this interview. Set the tone early on.
As you talk, remember this is a job interview. If you're too relaxed, you many find yourself slipping into an excessively casual tone, and become too buddy-buddy. This isn't your new best friend, so you shouldn't get into the details of your personal life or the really cool new music you got. Remember, you're basically doing a sales job here - you're selling the interviewer on you.
