[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 245986, member: 1722"] Fingers crossed, prayers said, good thoughts going out. These are phone interviews, right? I've had several very successful ones over the years. Here's some unsolicited advice: Make sure you aren't slouching on the phone: sit on a straight back chair or stand. Have a mirror in front of you to remind yourself to smile when speaking. Dress like you would for any other interview because it will help you feel professional and confidant. Have a copy of your resume and references in front of you. Go potty at least 15 minutes before the interview... sometimes they call a few minutes early. Turn off your cell, pager, and call waiting before the interview... you don't want interruptions. Have a cold drink ready to discreetly sip. Make sure any pets needs are taken care of well before the interview time. Have paper and pencil ready for any notes you wish to take. Write down any questions you may have for the interviewer. Be sure you know the correct spelling and location of the interviewers so you can immediately forward your thank you notes. [/QUOTE]
