-: Phone interviews are really important,
because that's your breaking into
of getting into the interview portion.
So the phone interview is one of the most important parts,
because the recruiter or the talent acquisition
professional, they're going to be looking for someone
who hits, checks all the boxes, the initial boxes
that are in the job description.
So they're going to ask you a lot of question
to get to know you at a very cursory level.
It's important to make sure that you know
what they're looking for in the role,
and if there is something that you're not 100% qualified for
or maybe you don't 100% fulfill the qualification,
then you should figure out how you have touched on that
in the past, how you're working on it,
or what you plan to do if that situation does come up.
In phone interviews, one of the most challenging parts
is when people say, you know, this is what I would do
in this situation, when the recruiter
or the talent acquisition professional asks for an example.
So be prepared for examples,
regardless of what interview you're in,
and give as many good examples with good results
as much as possible, and that'll help your case.
