    My top tip for a phone interview is to treat is as though you are face to face with them.

    So, best "knock em dead" outfit on.....heels to give you authority. Hair and makeup perfect (no cheating on the straightening now :rolleyes: ). Sit at your desk and have your diary/filofax in front of you so that you are always efficient for any dates mentioned. Pad of paper and a pen that works, and write down any questions BEFOREHAND! No doodling now!

    That way you are in the zone and won't get caught off guard thinking that your legs need shaving or your empty tea cup has been knocked over.....
