電話面試前的準備工作有哪些

電話面試的特點很多企業在收到簡歷後會採用電話面試進行初步篩選和確認,原因主要有:想節約時間和招聘成本;應聘者距離面試地點較遠;申請崗位的人很多,通過簡歷篩選又難以判斷選誰;應聘者應聘的工作需要經常接聽電話。一般電話面試持續10—30分鐘,主要覈實應聘者的基本情況和教育工作經歷,並考察他們的語言表達和思維能力。

僱主們將電話面試作爲一種鑑別和招聘員工的方式。電話面試往往用於篩選應聘者從而縮減當面面試的人數。電話面試還可以幫助將外地應聘者的找工成本降到最低。

While you're actively job searching, it's important to be prepared for a phone interview on a moment's notice. You never know when a recruiter or a networking contact might call and ask if you have a few minutes to talk.

當你主動求職時，重要的一點是做好電話面試的準備。你不知道僱主或聯繫人會在什麼時候打電話要求進行幾分鐘的談話。

Be Prepared to Interview 做好面試準備

Prepare for a phone interview just as you would for a regular interview. Compile a list of your strengths and weaknesses, as well as a list of answers to typical interview questions. In addition, plan on being prepared for a phone conversation about your background and skills.

如同準備常規面試一樣準備電話面試。準備一張表，列出你的長處和弱點，以及一些典型面試問題的答案。此外，準備在電話中談論你的背景和技能。

* Keep your resume in clear view, on the top of your desk, or tape it to the wall near the phone, so it's at your fingertips when you need to answer questions.

將簡歷放在容易找到的地方，比如桌上或將它貼在電話邊的牆上，這樣當你在回答問題時，簡歷就近在咫尺。

* Have a short list of your accomplishments available to review.

回顧一下自己的成績

* Have a pen and paper handy for note taking.

準備好筆和紙做筆記

* Turn call-waiting off so your call isn't interrupted.

將呼叫等待關閉，這樣通話就不會被打斷

* If the time isn't convenient, ask if you could talk at another time and suggest some alternatives.

如果時間不方便，問問是否能擇時再通話或者建議其它選擇

* Clear the room - evict the kids and the pets. Turn off the stereo and the TV. Close the door.

“清理”房間——將孩子和寵物“趕”出去。關掉電視、立體聲。關上門

* Unless you're sure your cell phone service is going to be perfect, consider using a landline rather than your cell phone to avoid a dropped call or static on the line.

除非能確定手機服務通暢，否則就考慮用固定電話，以免出現通話中斷或雜音。
