Some Phone Interview Etiquettes
- To return these physician job telephone interview calls try to go in a quiet room. If you accidentally find yourself at a noisy nurse station, then excuse yourself and offer to call them back right away from a different phone in a quieter place.
- Speak slowly and clearly. Do not get nervous and speak fast.
- Small talk is a must. Just like you do everyday. ‘How are you’s and ‘thank you(s)’ are to be exchanged as usual.
- Answer all questions succinctly. Do not ramble on to prove your point.
- Keep ‘ah’, ‘umm’, ‘hmm’ and other fillers to the minimum.
- SMILE! Even though the other person cannot see you he or she can feel it. It projects your image as confident and easy to get along with.
