Questions to Ask During a Job Interview - Make Sure You Cover These!

Recommended Answer:
I'll tell you the three things I've heard from interviewers that really help with phone interviews:

1. NO distractions. Make sure you're somewhere away from barking dogs, loud TVs, kids crying, etc.

2. Smile. Even though they can't see you, the smile really comes through in your voice and makes you sound cheerful and enthusiastic.

3. Practice. Get a friend to run through some questions with you on the phone (or try the video interview below). They'll tell you if you sound natural and professional. Prepare answers to common questions, like "Why do you want to work here?"

Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
