Learn How to Prepare for a Phone Interview

If you're like me and get nervous in interview situations, being prepared is key. This book will help you prepare and brings up many good points you likely did not even think of. If you read it straight through in a short period of time the way I did, it can seem repetitive, but that repetition likely makes this book a good reference book for when you just want to read one chapter - you won't have to flip back and forth to get all the reminders you need. It's a quick read with short chapters - perfect for preparing for that looming phone interview.

Must read

This book was exactly what I was looking for to prepare for an interview, had everything I needed to prepare.

[Annie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a short and simple book that covers the basic preparation steps and typical questions in a phone interview. It could have used some more sample answers for the difficult questions, such as "what salary are you expecting" (instead of trying to push off the question until they make a hiring decision or turning the question around and asking them what is the salary range for the job).

Second book and is great

This is the second book I have from the author and it gave me again great tips for this topic. I have all my notes and after reading other two books, this has been the best with great insight on phone interviews.

This was a easy to listen to audiobook containing good advice. Some of it is very basic but maybe that is the most important part. If you have a phone interview coming up, I can suggest this book.
