The world of interviewing is changing. Face to face interviews are becoming more prevalent later in the process, rather than in the beginning. Although phone interviews and in-person interviews are different in the sense of location, one cannot treat them as so. The initial telephone interview can either make or break your chances of proceeding to the next step, so full preparation and undivided attention is necessary.
Even though some may think a phone interview is less important than an in person meeting, the volume of applicants and busy schedules of employers are making telephone interviews a necessity. The key is to treat it like you would any face to face interview. First impressions are first impressions. Be sure to impress your potential employer by following the etiquette rules above.
