If you have applied for jobs, you must have received calls from recruiters asking about your personal and professional details to gauge if you are eligible for the vacancy. These telephonic calls can be long and important where the recruiter\/HR may want to know in detail if you are the right fit for the job. This call or the first interview round or the screening call (as it is commonly called) is conducted before calling you for a personal interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, during the COVID-19 scenario, even the final rounds of interviews are being done over telephonic\/online media. Hence, telephonic interviews have become more critical than ever in cracking an interview and getting a job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help you sail through in your job hunt, here are the top 5 tips that can make your telephonic interview successful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Confirm the date and time of the interview \u00a0– Punctuality matters<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Before the interview, you should first ask and confirm all the details from the recruiter such as date, time, interviewer’s name, and his\/her position. This will help you prepare yourself well before the interview in terms of schedule, place, research, and questions. If the given time is inconvenient to you due to any reason, you can even ask for rescheduling the interview. Many recruiters consider the candidate’s time preference for scheduling the interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remember: Never be late for your scheduled telephonic interview.

    2. Read up about the company<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you get some time to prepare for the interview, you should utilize this time in finding out the key highlights of the company,<\/strong> its products\/services, competitors, culture, etc. Knowledge about the company will help you understand the services or products offered by the company and will help you formulate an idea about the role that you are applying for. Online information about the company’s founders, the ethos, investments, vision, mission, and growth will keep you one step ahead of the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remember: Never attend an interview without knowing anything about the company.

    3. Find a comfortable, quiet spot<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It’s very important that you choose a space or a room which is free from outside noise. A nice comfortable spot will help you feel relaxed and confident about the interview. Distractions such as external commotions, loud noise, movements can disrupt your interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remember: You need to stay calm, composed, and comfortable to give your best during the telephonic interview.
    <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Keep your resume, pen & paper handy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You must keep your resume in front of you to make sure that you don’t miss any details about your work experience when questioned by the interviewer. Having your resume will also help you structure your answers without taking too much time to think and arrange your talking points. Also, keep a pen and paper handy to make notes during the interview. Jot down questions when the recruiter is talking and pose your questions after the person stops talking. Never interrupt the interviewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The pen and paper will also help you solve certain questions, if asked by the recruiter to check a particular skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remember: Sit prepared for the interview, instead of running about for stationery in the middle of the call.<\/em>\n<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. Speak clearly and listen well – Communication is the key to success<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The biggest challenge in a telephonic interview is that neither parties can see each other physically. Your voice is your strongest attribute here. So, you should speak each word clearly and in an optimal tone (neither too high nor too low).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the same time, you should be an alert and keen listener, and avoid asking the interviewer to repeat his\/her question frequently. Listen to the interviewer carefully to understand the questions before jumping in to answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remember: A good conversation between you and your interviewer will create a great impression leading to a positive result.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
