With the country still trying to come back from the coronavirus pandemic, some things have yet to return to normal. For many reasons, including safety, a few employers have decided to stick with phone call interviews until things get better. This type of interview is different from the normal, face-to-face interview, so Express Employment of West Tualatin, a leading employment firm in Oregon, is here to give you tips to make your phone interview as perfect as it can be!
Smile! Be Confident!
Confidence is key when it comes to any job interview, but there is not much you can do to show confidence on a phone call except for making your tone bright and enthusiastic. Even though the employer cannot see you, it is still important to smile and have an upbeat personality because it shows that you are serious about wanting this position. Let them hear the smile in your voice!
Ask Questions! Be prepared!
Any good interviewee asks questions when they are being questioned for a new job position, so you must ask at least one or two questions. They do not have to be highly detailed questions either. Just be curious! Another thing to do is practice interview questions online. You should be prepared for anything in an interview, so a phone interview is no different. Do not just sit there and say yes!
Research the company before the interview
Lastly, do some research on the company you are applying for! Going in blind is never good, and you should always have an idea of what the company does. So, before the scheduled interview, take some time to look up the company and see what they are known for, what they are trying to reach, and anything else that can help you provide the mentality that you can help the company grow when you are hired.
Interviews may be nerve-racking, but at the end of the day, following these three tips can help you succeed in any interview you are scheduled for! These tips can help you find employment anywhere you may be qualified.
