The question regarding pay is also best avoided. To be frank, it's simply too early in the process for you to be the one who brings up salary expectations. "Chances are if a candidate is participating in a phone interview, this is the first time they have talked with the company, and the first call isn't the appropriate time to talk about 'what's in it for you,'" says Justina Strnad, the Talent Acquisition Manager for Shiftgig.

关于薪资的问题也最好避开。坦率地说，现在就让求职者主动提出薪资期望还为时过早。'如果候选人正在参加电话面试，这很可能是他们第一次与公司交谈，第一次通话并不是讨论'这对你有什么好处'的合适时机，'Shiftgig的人才招聘经理Justina Strnad说。

"Seasoned interviewers will know whether an interviewee is researching while on the phone. The interviewer can often even hear the typing as they ask the question," he adds.

经验丰富的面试官会知道应聘者是否在通话时查资料。面试官甚至常常能在提问时听到打字声，'他补充道。

Many companies treat phone screening as the official first round of the hiring process.

许多公司把电话筛选视为招聘流程的正式第一轮。

"If we have had a great phone interview and then we wrap up and they don't have any questions for me, it pretty much ruins the whole interview. It tells me that the candidate is uninterested in the role, which in reality might not be the case at all," she notes.

如果我们进行了一次很棒的电话面试，然后结束收尾时他们对我没有任何问题，那基本上就毁了整场面试。这告诉我候选人对这个职位不感兴趣，而现实中可能根本不是这样，'她说。

"Make sure you test your headset and connection before dialing in," recommends Roark. "There is nothing more frustrating for a recruiter who has a structured interview guide in place having to repeatedly ask the same question over and over because they could not understand your answer due to dropped signals." Test-call a friend beforehand, or even call yourself from a landline if necessary; it will take less than a minute.

罗克建议：'务必在拨入前测试你的耳机和连接。对于已经准备好结构化面试指南的招聘人员来说，没有什么比因为信号中断而反复问同一个问题更令人沮丧的了。'提前给朋友打个测试电话，必要时甚至用座机给自己打；这花不到一分钟。

It might be tempting to cross something off your to-do list while on a phone interview, but recruiters and hiring managers can easily tell if your attention is elsewhere. Many interviewers are annoyed to see people who decide to multitask while on the phone interview. There are candidates who wash dishes, go for walks, or do grocery shopping during the interview.

在电话面试时顺便划掉待办事项可能很诱人，但招聘人员和用人经理很容易看出你的注意力是否在别处。许多面试官对有人在电话面试时决定一心多用感到恼火。有候选人在面试时洗碗、散步或采购杂货。

"The key to success during a phone interview is clear and concise answers," says Dardis. "People's attention spans tend to be shorter over the phone. You don't want your future employer to lose interest in the conversation." He recommends practicing answers to questions you know will be asked ahead of time in order to be clear on what you're going to say. That way, you can prevent talking in an aimless manner.

达迪斯说：'电话面试成功的关键是清晰简洁的回答。人们在电话中的注意力往往更短。你不想让未来雇主对谈话失去兴趣。'他建议提前练习那些你知道会被问到的问题，以便清楚自己要说什么。这样你就能避免漫无目的地说话。

"About a quarter of the people with whom I schedule phone interviews aren't on time," says Sophie Cikovsky, who handles U.S. recruiting for Infinite Global. "While this bothers me personally, it's also indicative of someone who isn't very detail-oriented," she explains. "In order to identify this early in the hiring process, I started asking all candidates a few years ago to call me as opposed to calling them at an agreed-upon time. That way, if I hear from them at 1:13 p.m. or 12:49 p.m. instead of our planned 1:00 p.m. interview time, I have an early indicator that they might not be a great fit."

无限环球美国招聘负责人索菲·西科夫斯基说：'我安排电话面试的人中大约有四分之一不准时。虽然这让我个人很烦，但也说明这个人不太注重细节。为了在招聘早期识别这一点，几年前我开始让所有候选人给我打电话，而不是我在约定时间给他们打。这样，如果他们在下午1:13或12:49联系我，而不是我们约定的下午1:00，我就有一个早期指标表明他们可能不太合适。'

"The point of a phone interview is to focus on getting to know a candidate's professional experience and goals," says Mckenzie Roark, campus talent specialist at Lithko Contracting. "A recruiter is trying to see if they are the best fit for a role, and learning about their personal life doesn't help. For example, when asked where you see yourself in five years, we don't want to know that you hope to be married or that you want to buy a new house. That is nice, but that isn't relative to anything professional."

Lithko Contracting校园人才专家麦肯齐·罗克说：'电话面试的重点是了解候选人的职业经历和目标。招聘人员想判断他们是否最适合该职位，而了解个人生活没有帮助。例如，当被问到五年后你看到自己在哪里时，我们不想知道你想结婚或想买新房。这很好，但与任何职业内容无关。'

You might be eager to get your point across or talk about your experience, but interrupting the interviewer is awkward and rude. "Interviewing can be stressful, and sometimes that stress manifests itself in speaking too fast, speaking too loud, talking over the interviewer, or attempting to answer the interviewer's question before they have actually finished asking the question," says Chris Dardis, a recruiting expert. "Don't do this." There's a big difference between being assertive(自信的) and being aggressive, and interviewers can always recognize it.

你可能急于表达观点或谈论经验，但打断面试官既尴尬又粗鲁。招聘专家克里斯·达迪斯说：'面试可能有压力，有时这种压力表现为说话太快、太大声、打断面试官，或在面试官还没问完问题时就试图回答。不要这样做。'自信与咄咄逼人之间有很大区别，面试官总能识别出来。
