A telephone interview is not an easy business. There are protocols you need to follow and precautions you must take
At times employers organize phone interviews to short-list candidates, to minimise the cost of conducting interviews or to screen outstation candidates. The reasons could be various but the basic codes remain same. It is a job interview at the end of the day and the task is all the more difficult because you have to impress the interviewer with just your voice.
It may also seem like it is easy to give phone interview as one does not have to worry about clothes or mannerism. This is fact is not true. Phone interviews are tricky for exactly the same reasons. Since the interviewer cannot see you he/she will be monitoring your responses much more keenly.
The best solution is to be prepared for the interview. Usually one is informed of the time and day of call. In case you get the interview call when you are in a noisy place or in the bathroom, then please do ask them to call in a while if possible or try to arrange a different time when you will be better prepared. However, if you do have to give the interview instantly be mentally prepared for it.
