This wouldn't bode well for me. I have a weak, timid voice on the phone and I'm usually not very engaging. In fact, sometimes I tend to dose off during phone calls. Something about the telephone makes me tired.

Here are a few of the more common questions:

• Tell me about yourself?
  
• Why did you apply for this job?
  
• Why do you want to leave your current job? Or Why did you leave your last job?
  
• Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
  
• Why should we invite you for an on-site interview?

• Tell me about yourself? I like beer.
• Why did you apply for this job? So I can Buy Beer
  
• Why do you want to leave your current job? Or Why did you leave your last job? They didn't have beer.
  
• Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Drinking beer.
  
• Why should we invite you for an on-site interview? I think you might have beer...

This reminds me of:

Dos, a beer, a Mexican beer

Ray, the guy that buys me beer

Me, the guy that drinks the beer

Fa' a long long way for beer

So, I think I'll have a beer

La, la la la la la la

Tea, no thanks I'll have a beer

And it brings us back to dos dos dos dos

Yes!  I agree 100%!!!!  Definitely "be fluent and confident in English"!  That is precisely why you should "do a homework", "get to know about the timings", and, above all else, "be show how confident you are"!

Practice Interviewing


Talking on the phone isn't as easy as it seems. As with an in-person interview, practice can be helpful. Not only will this help you rehearse answers to common phone <delete> but it will also help you realize if you have a lot of verbal ticks, fail to enunciate, or speak either too fast or too slow.


Get Ready for the Call


Before the call, confirm all the details including the date, time and who you will be talking to. Be sure you know whether the interviewer is calling you or if you need to make the call.


Phone Interview Tips


1) Keep your resume  in clear view, on the top of your desk, or tape it to the wall near the phone, so it's at your fingertips when you need to answer questions.

• Have a short list of your accomplishments available to review.
  
• Have a pen and paper handy for note taking.
  
• Turn call-waiting off, so your call isn't interrupted.
  
• If the time isn't convenient, ask if you could talk at another time and suggest some alternatives.
  
• Clear the room — evict the kids and the pets. Turn off the stereo and the TV. Close the door.
  
• 
  Do's and Don'ts During the Phone Interview
  
  
• Don't smoke, chew gum, eat, or drink.
  
• Do keep a glass of water handy, in case you need to wet your mouth.
  
• Do smile. Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice. It can also be helpful to stand during the interview, since this typically gives your voice more energy and enthusiasm.
  
• Do speak slowly and enunciate clearly.
  
• Do use the person's title (Mr. or Ms. and their last name.) Only use their first name if they ask you to.
  
• Don't interrupt the interviewer.

Use a quiet, comfortable, and private space with no distractions so you can focus on the interview.
