Here are some great starting points to help you through the Phone Interview process:
#1 Use a quiet space with no surrounding loud noise (TV’s, radio)
#2 Ensure you know the name of the interviewer
#3 As the person can not see you, ensure you market yourself through an energetic and enthusiastic voice
#4 Be prepared – have a general idea of the questions that you will be asked and how you will respond
#5 Ensure you have sensible and relevant questions to ask back
#6 Don’t ramble – keep your answers short and precise, enough for the recruiter to remember but not get bored
#7 Be a good listener – show that you understand the concepts being spoken about
#8 Use examples to demonstrate how you can benefit the company
#9 Be polite and end the conversation on a high note
