Telephonic interviews are becoming more popular due to advances in communication technology. They allow companies to interview candidates located in distant places or foreign countries more easily. Proper preparation is important for telephonic interviews. Candidates should select a quiet location, have relevant documents handy, research the company, and anticipate common questions. During the call, candidates should speak clearly, listen carefully, be polite, and avoid distractions. Following up with a thank you note after the interview is also recommended.
