Employers expect you to be ready right away since they are not giving you the full in person interview treatment. You can prepare by answering common phone interview questions and answers, but that can only take you so far. Mental preparation can also be affected, because phone interviews are often poorly scheduled and delayed. Phone Call Problems A number of problems can occur when you are on the phone. Your phone's battery could die, the call can be dropped, you may be hassled by other phone calls and anyone that comes into your home may not realize you are on the phone before turning on the TV or blasting the stereo. Any one of these could damage your phone interview. The Curse of Who is Before You Remember that phone interviews are designed to weed out applicants. They want reasons not to call you in for an interview so that they can narrow down the candidates. If you go right after someone that had an excellent interview, you can have an almost-as-good interview and because you didn't measure up to the interview before you, you may get denied for the role.
