Do have the TV on or the radio, be ready and a drink of water ready as well. be still in a nice chair do not move about a lot.

have a cuppa to hand in case you dry up. Something warm and wet is better than plain water.

oh and a pen and paper. I sometimes forget odd things like my own d.o.b on the phone and writing it down helps

no innuendos intended....

relax

have great rationale why the job is for you

key strengths

development areas

if your ex employer was to describe you: what would they say

great achievement

a challenging situation: what was it and why did you find it challenging: what did you do

great example of delivering for a customer

any conflict you have dealt with

.

.

.

most follow a capability model and may ask to give a specific example: a lot have the capabilities they look for on the web. they follow a flow where they are looking for you to describe the example as below:

situation: describe it

objective: what was your objective/s

actions: what did you actually do

results: did you achieve your goal or not

aftermath: would you do anything differently if faced with the situation again

the capabilities may be more for a face to face if you get selected after this filtering process

GOOD LUCK

never badmouth a previous employer.

this is an old tactic to test loyalty

Somewhere near Coventry

Just be yourself and listen carefully to what the inter_iewer is asking and answer in a positive and confident manner.

Good luck

Be passionate about your subject and stand up and don't use the speaker and try and be in a quiet place

I take lots of phone inter_iews
