Phone Interview Questions

Being well prepared for a phone interview is very important because it is the bridge for you to be invited for an official face-to-face interview. Hence, you can be well prepared for the phone interview by knowing some of the possible questions the interviewers may ask you. Preparing well and adequately for the potential phone interview questions will not only boost your chances of being invited to a face-to-face interview, it will also boost your ego and confidence in the upcoming face-to-face interview.

Before we look at the possible questions to be asked by the interviewer, we also need to understand the reason why a phone interview is conducted.

Before we target the potential questions asked in a phone interview, we ought to understand the reasons why a phone interview is being conducted. According to my personal experience on conducting a phone interview, these are the reasons for going through the additional step of telephone interviewing.

• To assess the confidence level of the candidate
• To assess the language proficiency of the candidate
• To assess the candidate’s ability to express him or herself
• To assess the candidate’s ability to sell themselves over the phone by asking tough questions.
• To listen to the voice of the candidate and see if the voice is suitable for the job. Although this is not an interview for a singer, the voice of the person does determine the suitability for the job itself in some cases.
• To assess the energy level of the candidates; some jobs require a high, positive level of energy within their voice and attitude.
• To filter out those who do not meet the minimum requirements.
