Are You Prepared for These 4 Phone Interview Questions?

By Bob McIntosh, Career Trainer

Yesterday, I spoke with a job seeker who had an hour and a half telephone
interview. It seemed to my job seeker as if it were a preamble to a job
offer. Sight unseen, he was invited to visit the company in Alabama all
expenses paid.

If you think a telephone interview isn�t a real interview, you�re sadly
mistaken. Telephone interviews are generally thought of as a screening
device, but they carry a lot of weight and, in some cases, they�re
full-fledged interviews. Often times, job seekers don�t take the telephone
interview seriously, and this is a huge mistake.

This is the type of response I sometimes get from my workshop attendees
when they tell me they have a telephone interview, �It�s just a telephone
interview. I hope I get a face-to-face.� I tell them to prepare as hard as
they would for a personal interview. Don�t get caught off guard.

Yes, the face-to-face is the next step, but you can�t get there without
impressing the interviewer on the other end of the phone, whether she�s a
recruiter, hiring manager, HR, or even the owner of a company. Generally,
the interviewer is trying to obtain four bits of information from you --
areas to which you can respond well or fail.

*1. Do you have the skills and experience to do the job?*

The first of the interviewer�s interests is one of the easiest to meet. For
example, let's say that you�ve applied for a medical staff credentialing
manager position that�s �perfect� for you; you have experience and
accomplishments required of a strong medical staff credentialing manager.
Your organization and management skills are above reproach, demonstrated by
successfully monitoring the verification process for medical staff
incumbents. In addition, you completed physician, nurse and other employee
verifications and ensured that the organization and staff are in accordance
with staff by-laws, industry trends and standard credentialing procedures.

*2. Are you motivated and well liked?*

Your former colleagues describe you as amiable, extremely goal oriented,
and one who exudes enthusiasm. The last quality shows motivation and will
carry over nicely to your work for the next employer. You�ve done your
research and have decided that this is the organization you want to work
for; it�s on your �A� list.

When the interviewer asks why you want to work for the company, you gush
with excitement and feel a bit awkward telling her you love the
responsibilities set forth in the job description. But your enthusiasm for
the job and company is well noted by the employer. Further, through your
networking, you�ve learned about the work culture, including the management
team. You tell her it sounds a lot like your former employer and will be a
great fit.

*3. Why did you leave your last company?*

This one is tough for you, because even though you were laid off, you feel
a bit insecure and wonder if you were to blame. Your company was acquired
and there would be duplication within your department that exists for the
company that bought yours. You keep this answer brief, 15 seconds and there
are no follow-up questions. You�re doing great so far.

*4. What is your salary expectation?*

�So, what do you want?� The question hits you like a brick. �Excuse me,�
you say. �What do you expect for salary? What will it take to get you to
the next step?� the interviewer says. Your mind goes blank. You�ve been
instructed to handle the question in this order:

� Try to deflect the question.

� If this doesn�t work, ask for their range.

� And if this doesn�t work, give them your range.

� When all else fails, you cite an exact figure based on your online
research and networking.

You�ve forgotten everything your job coach told you and blurt out an exact
figure. �At my last job I made $72,000.� But this isn�t the question asked.
The interviewer wants you to tell her what you expect for salary, not what
you made at your last company. �Is this what you had in mind?� you timidly
say.

There�s a pause at the other end, and finally the voice thanks you for your
time. She tells you if you�re suitable for an interview at the company,
you�ll be notified within a week. She says it looks promising for you.

But you know right then that the position hangs in the balance. You�ve
spoken first and within 10 seconds said something you can�t take back. You
were prepared, but not prepared enough. You didn�t think this interview
counted; you�d do better at the face-to-face, if you get there.

* Your Job Search and Social Networking*

It appears, from studies conducted over the past few years that women are
more actively involved in using Social Media Networking then men. They have
more Facebook and Twitter pages, and they are blogging away!

* Not a big surprise - women have been �natural-born-networkers� since the
beginning of time* and when social media became available it was an
opportunity to connect � not only in the local community but to *reach out
to a global network of women*(and men, of course).

With women running 70% of home-based businesses out of the 34.3 million
home offices in the U.S. that is talking about a lot of outreach and power.
So, it may have been the men who started social media networking, but* it
is the women who are using it to their fullest advantage*.

* In this tough job market* it is necessary for *everyone* to use the same
types of resources and networking to find employment as they have always
done � only *this time the reach is expanded by social media networking*.

The majority of all jobs (70-80%) are found through "networking.� So women
(and men) must revert to the best ways to get a job in 2011 and that is to
get out there and network, network, network. This means spending a certain
amount of time on Facebook, Linked-in, or Twitter � *every day*. *But, it
is a mistake to rely solely on social media* to find a job. The problem is
that recruiting and finding jobs through social media is still in the early
stages of development.

* Supplement your search by attending as many live events as possible.
Connecting in-person is still the most effective way to connect with other
people. And connecting with people is still the #1 means of getting a job. *

* Where? Everywhere* - meetings, classes, job fairs, open houses, social
events, association meetings; anywhere that people gather. There are a
million success stories from these types of events. Your story could be the
next one.

Who should you network with? Find old friends and colleagues through social
media networking, but don�t exclude the people around you - family,
friends, neighbors, ex-bosses, former co-workers, vendors you worked with
in your last jobs, competitors of your last job ---* anyone and everyone*.

* This is about numbers - get out there and get contacting*. Get the word
out that you are searching for leads for job openings. Do NOT ask for a job
� ask for leads. The following rules apply whether you are networking
online, on the phone, or in-person.

1.

Always be gracious and professional. Never be tenacious or pushy.
2.

Ask for LEADS and referrals. Ask permission to use a person�s name.
3.

NO resumes allowed while networking. Offer to send it if asked.
4.

Do your research and be prepared.
5.

Listen, listen, listen. You are asking for information � let them give
it to you.
6.

Ask Intelligent questions. Show an interest.
7.

ALWAYS follow up � and thank the person for the information or advice.

When you do get an opportunity to connect with a person, either through
your social media connections or through a personal or business contact, it
is very important that you* be prepared* to speak intelligently about what
you are looking for and what you have to offer. If someone gives you a
lead, you should be able to make a call and introduce yourself. If the
person who has given you the lead has agreed to let you use his or her
name, begin the conversation by explaining how you happen to have the
lead�s information. This can be a great way to break the ice.

It�s a *good idea to script and rehearse* � not memorize - what you are
going to say when you do follow up. If you feel unsure of what to say, get
feedback from someone who can be honest and helpful.

If you�re posting resumes on the Internet and are just waiting for
something to happen you are making a big mistake �that is the passive way
to search for a job and in today's competitive job market you are hoping
against the odds of getting noticed. Get out there and network today �
through social media networking or social connections. *If you are able to
use traditional and new media networking for your job search you will at
least double your chances of succeeding!*
