*Five Tips For Acing A Phone Interview*

*Find out how to conquer this common initial screening tool.*

It's common practice for companies to narrow down their search for a new
employee by interviewing candidates over the phone. There are many
similarities to the in-person interview like preparing ahead of time and
speaking professionally and clearly. However, there are a few points unique
to the phone interview--and following them could mean the difference between
a job offer and heading back to the employment drawing board.

*1. Background Noise
*Make sure the only thing the interviewer can hear is the sound of your
extra-professional voice. This means choosing a location that is
quiet--notably one free of traffic noise, screaming children, TV background
sound and anything else that would be distracting. Also, make sure you
aren't wearing earrings that might knock against the phone or jingle near
it.

Make sure you don't chew gum, smoke or eat during the conversation. If you
are worried about having a dry mouth, keep a glass of water handy but make
sure you only drink if necessary and at opportune moments.

*2. Know The Company
*Whether the interview is in-person or over the phone, it pays to do your
research about your potential employer. Knowing about the company will not
only help you to ask more informed questions, it will help you tailor your
responses to highlight the most appropriate characteristics for the job.

At the very least, be sure to check out the company's website and get a good
sense of what they do, who works for them and their position in their field.
You should also be familiar with the job description and any requirements
the job posting mentioned. Be ready to demonstrate how well you fill those
requirements with specific examples.

*3. Have Your R�sum� On-Hand
*While you probably know your own work history pretty well, having your
r�sum� in front of you will ensure you get the dates and any contact names
that may come up. It will also come in handy if you get nervous--having your
r�sum� handy will help keep your nerves steady, or at least provide a back
up if you forget some of the details.

Although you've likely already done so if you have been applying to jobs,
make sure your r�sum� is up to date and includes all relevant information
for your previous jobs, education and references.

*4. Prepare Notes
*Each interview will no doubt have a unique set of questions. However, you
can be pretty certain some standard questions will show up in some form.
Prepare your answers ahead of time and you'll be able to give them some
thought. Consider the following questions:

What do you consider your greatest strength?
What do you consider your greatest weakness?
What specific examples demonstrate your ability to handle this job?
Describe a situation where you solved a problem with a coworker or client.
------------------------------

*5. Breathe
*Since the only interaction you have with your interviewer at this stage is
through your voice, make sure you speak clearly, slowly (but not too slow!)
and professionally. You (and your voice) should be engaged and enthusiastic.
Don't feel like you have to fill every silence--take a moment to gather your
thoughts after you are asked a question to make sure your answer is the best
one you can possibly give.

*The Bottom Line
*Interviews can be stressful, but taking a few simple steps to prepare
yourself will help you stay relaxed and confident. Put yourself in a
comfortable environment--and remember, while dressing up may help get you
into the job-seeking mood, your prospective employer will never know if you
are curled up on the couch in your Snuggie.
