Be prepared 做好准备
Since a telephone interview is usually a test to see if you will make it to the next round, be as prepared for a phone interview as you would for one in person. That means, do all your research about the company or organization as well as the people you'll be speaking with during the call. And of course, work on your pitch for why you're the best candidate for the job.
电话面试的结果决定你是否能够晋级下一次面试，像对待单面一样对待电话面试。尽可能多的了解该公司的.详细情况，再能够了解一下面试官的情况就更好了。当然，还要准备好自我介绍，解释为什么你才是这个职位的最佳人选。
Dress up 着装
There's lots of evidence showing that how we dress affects how we work. So, if you're home and tempted to do the call in your pajamas, take it up a notch.
尽管是电话面试，着装依然很重要。事实证明我们的着装影响着我们的工作态度，如果你打算在家里穿着睡衣接受电话面试的话，赶快放弃这个主意吧。
Find a quiet and private place for the call 僻静的接听地点
Control the environment where you take the call as much as you're at home, think about crying babies and construction noise.
尽可能地找到适合你接电话的地方。要是你在家的话，记得提防哭闹的小孩或周围工地的噪音。
Do not do anything else while on the call 切勿三心二意
Telephone interviews are not an ideal time to show off yourmultitasking 't eat, drink, chew gum or do anything else that would hamper your speech or create a distraction.
电话面试可不是让你秀自己能同时干很多的时候。不要做任何影响到你讲话或者让你分心的事情，比如吃东西、喝饮料、嚼口香糖等等。
Control the technology 技术装备
The more advanced we get with telephone technology, the more we seem to hamper the quality of our connections. Avoid using a cell phone since calls can get dropped. Disable call-waiting if you have that service.
通话设备越先进，通话质量就越高。尽量不要用手机接电话面试，因为手机信号不是很稳定，很可能短线。记得关闭呼叫等待。
Keep notes and documents handy 将参考资料放置在手边
One advantage to a telephone interview is that you can have any papers you want to look at nearby. Also, have a pen and paper handy to take notes.
电话面试的一大好处就是你可以参看你的资料。同时，不要忘记准备好笔和纸随时记下有用信息。
Practice 练习
Have a friend call you and see how you sound.
让朋友接听一下电话，试试自己的声音听起来如何。
Find out who will be in the call 了解面试官
If possible, get the names in advance of who will be on the call and know what roles they play. If there are multiple people on the call and you think you might not be able to distinguish their voices, ask them to identify themselves the first few times they speak.
尽可能的知道面试官的姓名及角色。如果是好几个面试官同时电话面试，你又很难分辨出他们各自声音的话，务必在刚开始讲话时请教他们的姓名。
Don't worry about brief silences “迟缓”一些答题并非不好
In fact, it's better to take a moment to digest the question than jump in and answer before you've thought about what you want to say. Plus, people pay attention to those who know how to listen.
事实上，在理清思路之后回答问题比马上莽莽撞撞的去回答要好得多。这也能让别人感觉到你认真听取了问题。
