Remember: This is a formal step in the interview process. It may actually be the most important step, as this interview will determine whether or not you get a face to face interview.
Have your resume, paper, pen, questions prepared, any company material and a glass of water in front of you before you receive the phone call.
Be in a quiet environment: NO dogs, kids, television, music, dishwashers, etc. in the background.
Be in professional attire. Get yourself in a professional frame of mind.
Look in front of a mirror while you are intevewing.
Stay focused and keep the energy up! Being on the phone they can't read your body language, so all of your emotions need to be shown through the flux of your voice and through your energy.
Ask questions!
Remember to close the interview by:
Thanking them for their time. Tell them they were very informative and that your are very interested in the positions.
You want the opportunity and ask:
When can I come in for a face-to-face interview?
