Career Help and Advice

I have taken them because usually when I am exploring a job opportunity, I am already employed and it's hard to excuse oneself from work for a job interview.

It's not onnly hard to make an impression on the phone, it's also hard to pick up on signals from the interviewer and adjust your presentation. It's really difficult to establish chemistry.

If they suggest a phone interview, I think it's okay to say you prefer to meet in person. But if they insist, what can you do?

If I ever do a phone interview again, I'm going to do a roleplay with a friend over the phone beforehand.
