One of the common types of job interviews is through the phone. It is a cost-effective way of performing initial screening as part of the recruitment process. Just like most job interviews, the employer uses phone interview to determine your suitability for the job and to decide if you could be given a chance for the traditional face-to-face style of interview.
Getting a phone interview is a proof that your resume and cover letter did a good job. You have to be well-prepared then to ensure that the opportunity will not pass up. Remember that a phone interview is a chance to prove yourself to your potential employer which could eventually serve as your gate to employment. (to be concluded)
