Phone Interview Checklist
The. BIGGEST. Mistake. you can make with a phone interview is thinking that it's "ONLY" a phone screening, and not properly preparing.
The recruiter or hiring manager will ABSOLUTELY know (they interview people all day, every day. It will be blatantly obvious if you didn't do your homework.)😉
1. Know about the company, why you want to work there and why you applied.✅
2. Be able to talk about everything on your resume and the points on the job posting with relevant examples.🤩
3. Have a positive answer for why you are looking to make a pivot.🙌
4. Research the salary range in advance, and have an answer. 💲
5. Come prepared with a few intelligent questions to ask. (Oh, yeah, please don't make them something you could easily have found on their website.😉)
ALWAYS keep the job in mind. Everything you are saying is letting them know you are the best person for this SPECIFIC job. 💪🤩
Video - Women's Empowerment Series - Carrie
It’s so easy as a stay at home mom to get swept up in the roles of mom and wife, that you almost forget who YOU are. Join me as I chat with Carrie, a mom of two sets of twins, about her powerful journey to finding herself again.
Like many moms, Carrie felt that she knew Carrie the mom and Carrie the wife, but didn’t know who Carrie the person was anymore.
Always an active volunteer, (and I must say, an INCREDIBLE volunteer. She didn’t just stand behind the table at the school bake sale.) Carrie did not give herself enough credit for the work that she was doing. She figured that as an unpaid worker, organizations were happy to take what they could get, and failed to realize how incredibly talented she actually is. How she dramatically she improved every project she worked on.
Dear Jobseekers... THIS IS the interview.
Think before you post. The employer you are hoping will hire you is reading your words. If you wouldn't say it on an interview, you shouldn't be posting it.
😱The negative comments about your boss or profession aren't going to impress someone deciding if they should hire you. If they hire you, will you write negative things about them online? It's not worth them taking a chance. There are lots of other applicants.
🤔Listing all your fears, why you were fired, lack of experience, these are all the potential red flags that you would NEVER mention if you were on an interview asked your greatest weakness.
