Also beware and be ready for the “phone interview.” First line personal interviews are out at many companies, and the applicants are weeded down via telephone prior to any interview in person.
Take it seriously, don’t let your guard down, speak even more carefully and be more conscious of tone than you would be in person. It’s very difficult for many to remain on point and to resist becoming too chatty and informal on the phone.
good point and remember along with the phone interviewer there are probly others on ther phones on “mute” doing the thumbs up/down thing.
Pretend your phone is Bugged when they call.No opening beers,porn movies in the back ground etc.....
