Telephone interviews - Some useful hints and tips
- Ask your Consultant to have the client call you if at all possible
- Provide the client with more than 1 number if possible
- Ask the Consultant to request the client, if you can have their number in order for you to call them, if the arranged call has not occurred within 15 minutes of the agreed time
- Call your Consultant if the no telephone interview has occurred within 15 minutes of the agreed time
- Prepare with research into the client, evaluating the job description against their own skills and achievements and preparing interview questions. Utilise the interview pack issued by your Consultant.
