1.Be Prepared to explain every job transition

An HR Screener will likely want you to step him or her through your resume. Why did you make this or that choice of career direction? why make that lateral move, or how did you get that promotion? and what about those short job stints or gaps between jobs? Be sure to have a copy of same resume you submitted before the interview begins.

  1. 2. Be prepared to explain everything on Your Resume

Any bullet point on your resume might pique the curiosity of your interviewer. Be prepared to give more details but don’t take much time on any answer.

  1. 3.Understand that interview isn’t just about questions and answers.

Your interviewer is likely trained to glean from your conversation, your level of self –confidence, personality and your ability to communicate effectively. Remember no matter what your prior situation have been, you need to trust in yourself and knowledge of your abilities from the ground up. Don’t rush your answers and keep an even tone in your voice. But at the same time don’t show something of your personality.

4.Don’t get flustered when uncomfortable questions arise.

The big four questions almost always rear their heads in a phone screen in one way or another:

Tell me about yourself

Tell me about your strengths/weakness.

What are your salary expectations

Where do you yourself in five years

There are many articles to answer these similar questions, review them & practice your answer many times.

5.Control your environment

Always arrange to be in quiet, well-lit room, free from distractions.sit in a chair with relevant material in front of you. Give your sole focus attention to your interviewer.
