Phone Interview Etiquette
Tuesday, June 19, 2:15 p.m.–2:45 p.m.

Phone interview etiquette is just as important as in-person interview etiquette because when it comes to getting hired, regardless of how you interview, a successful meeting will get you to the next stage of the hiring process.
While you’re actively job searching, it’s important to be prepared at a moment’s notice for a phone interview. You never know when a recruiter or a networking contact might call and ask if you have a few minutes to talk.
