Some phone interviews are scheduled in advance, so you can prepare yourself accordingly but, in most cases, an initial phone screen will be conducted, asking if you are available for a chat about a vacant position. Here are some helpful hints to better prepare yourself for those surprise calls and how you can conduct yourself, so you have a better chance of being invited in for an interview.
Basics
Let’s start with the simple things first:
If it is not a good time to speak, make it known to the caller and reschedule another time to discuss.
Do’s and Don’ts
Remember to ask any relevant questions that you may have and always thank the interviewer for their call. Always reiterate your enthusiasm for the role.
