Telephoning for an Interview
It is not particularly common anymore for companies to ask you to call them for an interview. That is usually saved for jobs that include sales and/or jobs that are not so easily applied for by the other methods. Telephoning for an interview is a bit common when a company requires that you be on the phone a lot. It gives them a feel for the quality and the personality of the person on the phone. When making this type of interview request, always speak in a clean and clear manner. Be polite and prepared to answer any questions that may be asked of you. You might approach the telephone interview like this:
Hello Mr. Brown, I am Mike Sandal. I am calling with regards to your ad in the Post about the clerical position. If you are asked your experience and/or previous work experience, be prepared to answer quickly and explain how long you have been doing that type of work and give a brief description of your duties.

Act defensively when questioned about anything. The closing should announce an interest in hearing from them soon, and a thank you for their time. It is basically your lead in to your resume. What is your definition of success? |
