Answer the phone.

Very handy tips guys ... thanks

Establish you are not connected to the "speaking clock"

ummm you'll have to explain that one a bit more??

dial 141

Phone interviews are the easiest, because you can draw out a plan for yourself and use it in front of you.

Just make sure you're on a land-line and in a quite room.

Good luck!

Go for it..
Goodluck.

Sound advice

Don't drink, eat, chew or smoke while you're on the phone. Even though they can't see you, they can hear you. Especially when you think they can't.

Clear a space on the table with pen and spare and paper by the phone. Have your CV and application letter in front of you plus any notes on the company/job.

Think of the most unlikely (realistic) thing that could happen when you have a phone interview and expect it. Prepare accordingly. I don't mean things like lightning strikes - that would be really unlikely and you can go overboard on preparations. I mean things like interruptions from family/friends/other phones/neighbours lawnmower/door to door salesmen/loud music from BBQ next door.

If you're on a mobile, charge it.

Try not to say gidday, yesbut, basically, sweet, yeah no worries, or aye? too much. Unless you're talking to another kiwi (I'm assuming you're a kiwi because of your location).

Find something relaxing to do when you're waiting for the call - read a book or something.

Good luck.
