Phone Interview!

I was checking my voice messages and to my surprise the receptionist from an employer I had applied to 3 weeks ago called me. She asked that I schedule a phone interview with the Director of the office. I  was in shock and disbelief. Did I just really get a call from an employer wanting to interview me over the phone? 

The fact of the matter is…yes, I scheduled a phone interview and had 3 days to prepare. I used Optimal Resume's Interview Prep Mock Interview program to see and hear myself as I practiced answers to traditional and behavioral interview questions. I researched the company’s website extensively to learn more about their mission and services.  Before I received the call from the Director, I had my cover letter, resume, and research notes right in front of me. The phone interview questions included:

“Tell me about yourself.”

“Why do you want to work for us?”

“Why should we hire you?”

With the job description, and my skills and accomplishments in mind, I answered the questions to the best of my ability. I can conclude that the 30-minute interview must have been a success because the Director scheduled me for a face-to-face interview! Follow my blog to find out what happens next.
