Many campus employers are now using telephone interviews at various points in the hiring process. It saves money, takes less time than an in-person interview and allows contacts with candidates from a wider geographical area.

Phone screenings and interviews can benefit the job seeker by offering the candidate a chance to make a favorable impression on an employer who may be able to pay expenses for only a limited number of campus visitors.

An article in the NACE Journal for winter 2004, published by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), offered some tips for candidates being interviewed over the telephone.

As with any interview, a better-prepared candidate will have a definite edge. Although the NACE suggestions seem to be geared toward new college graduates, they may also provide some help for more experienced candidates.

Be prepared, including these suggestions:

* Have a copy of your resume or vita, college transcript, and the job description in front of you during the interview

* Keep a list of schools and titles of jobs you applied for, which will help you be better prepared if you are called unexpectedly.
