There is a wide variety of interviews jobseekers can face. You have the traditional interview, panel interview, competency based interview, internal interviews and of course the phone interview.

From experience many jobseekers cut corners with a phone interview as most seem to be relaxed about the thought of answering questions away from the glaring eyes of the interviewer.

It is important to prepare for phone interviews and below is a few phone interview tips.

1. Ensure that you use polite and proper phone manners.

2. Have your CV beside you for references

3. Ensure that there will be no disturbance or disruptions during the call.

4. Pause after each question and do not rush to answer the question, think it over first of all and take your time to answer it.

5. Have a pen a paper to take any notes that might assist you.

6. Focus on the hard facts with examples. Phone interviews can be short and to the point. You need to ensure that you get your message across.

7. At the end of the interview ask about feedback or the next stage of the process.
