Tools for Answering the Question: What do You Want to be When You Grow Up? I often envy those people who have known what they wanted to be from the time they were in elementary school and followed through on their dream.
Phone interviews are often used as a screening tool prior to bringing a candidate in. Since you are not face-to-face, they can’t see your facial expressions and it is more of a challenge to ensure your personality shines through. Here are a few tips for making a connection with your interviewer:
- Set up a mirror in front of you when you are doing a phone interview. Make eye contact with the mirror and your voice will become more confident. Smile at yourself during the interview and they will hear the smile in your voice.
- Speak clearly and a bit slower than normal to ensure you are understood.
- Avoid sarcastic remarks or jokes that may fall flat without the context of facial expressions.
- Dress professionally during the phone interview to remind yourself of the situation. It is hard to be professional when you are interviewing in your pajamas!

Last week, I spent three days in San Diego at the Career Director's International annual conference. We were able to ask four recruiters and human resources professionals questions about their preferences, and recommendations for job seekers. I will try to provide some tips over the next few weeks. First, every recruiter agreed that the resume is not dead, dying, or even in critical condition. None of them foresee an immediate future with no resumes.
