13 Phone Interview

Phone interviews will have their own etiquette. If you are interviewing by phone, try to work in the following:

• If the interviewer is calling you, identify yourself when you answer: “Hello, Jamie Jobseeker speaking”.
• If you are calling the interviewer: “Hello, this is Jamie Jobseeker calling for Ms. Hiring Manager”. (Or, if they identify themselves when they answer, “Good afternoon Ms. Hiring. This is Jamie Jobseeker calling for our 1 p.m. phone interview.”)
• At the end of the call say something like, “Thank you for your time today. I appreciate it and I look forward to hearing from you”.
