Prepare a few basic questions
If you know the time of the telephone interview in advance, you can put your resume and cover letter on the table next to you during the interview and answer the questions directly with the sentences inside. Some basic questions can be answered in advance. Usually, in the telephone English interview, I will mention:
Please tell me something you haven't considered in your resume/about yourself/your experience/your activities.
Talk about something not mentioned in your resume/about yourself/your experience/the activities you participated in.
An example of team work.
Give an example of your participation in group cooperation.
Why did you choose this position?
Why did you choose this position?
Why should we hire you?
Why should we hire you?
Open discussion, such as information technology or the role of universities in society, mainly examines the thinking mode of job seekers.
Ask questions freely. Job seekers can prepare some questions for the interviewer in advance.
What if I can't hear clearly?
If you don't hear clearly, job seekers don't have to be nervous. You can ask again calmly. Sentences that can be used:
What?
Would you please say that again?
Can you simplify this problem?
Can you simplify this problem?
Would you please say it in other words?
Can you express yourself in other words?
Would you please speak a little louder? I can't hear you clearly.
Could you speak a little louder? I can't hear you clearly.
How to deal with telephone surprise interview
When you suddenly get an interview call on the court or on the bus, you are not ready at this time. I suggest you try to give you a preparation time first, and then conduct a telephone interview. Sentences that can be used:
Can I call you back in half an hour?
May I have your phone number and recall you?
If you can buy time, go back immediately, spread out the information and write an outline, and answer calmly. If the other party doesn't agree to postpone the time, you should immediately find a quiet place to sit down and start answering.
Telephone interview skills
Although the following telephone interview skills seem simple, they will help you clear your mind and remind you what to do and what not to do in the telephone interview, so that you won't miss a great opportunity because you forget one of the main points.
environment
Make sure your interview is quiet so that you won't be upset or interrupted, and make sure the phone is connected. And remember not to turn off your cell phone.
tool
Have a pen and a piece of paper at hand. You can write something down during the interview. Moreover, if the pen can write, it is best to put one or two spare pens where it is easy to get.
Put your resume in front of you and prepare a list of questions you want to ask the interviewer. You also need to sort out a list of the technologies you have mastered, together with their corresponding time and place, so that your strength can be seen at a glance.
sound
Speak clearly and don't speak too fast. It's natural to feel nervous, but try to relax yourself slowly. If you speak too fast, it will be difficult for the interviewer to understand you. Once you feel nervous, you can't continue to say anything. You'd better stop, take a deep breath and say, "Sorry, please let me do it again." No one will judge you for these subtle tensions.
answer
Listen carefully to the questions you are asked. Pay attention to the interviewer's words. Are most of what he said technical terms? Let your answer show that you are so familiar with those technical terms-but at the same time let him know that you can communicate with ordinary people. Don't limit your answer to jargon-let the interviewer evaluate your ability to communicate professional knowledge with ordinary people.
thank
Don't forget to thank the interviewer for taking up his or her time at the end of the interview. You should also make sure that the interviewer has your correct phone number so that he or she can find you in the next few weeks (it is very important to postpone the appointment if you have planned to travel or leave).
When looking for a job, telephone interview can be a threat-especially for managers who have not experienced telephone interview or those who are looking for a job for the first time. But if you are fully prepared, you will firmly believe in your ability and be able to let others see your talent through the telephone line.
