When you get that call from an executive recruiter or hiring manager that they would like to set up a pre-screening phone interview, pat yourself on the back. You have made it to the first step. But, don’t think this a relaxed and laid-back conversation. This is a very important phone call because the interviewer will be developing a profile on you. You will be judged on your attitude, personality, ability to communicate effectively, and how well you might fit into the company culture. If the call is Skyped, the person may also be evaluating your professional image and body language.
The reality is that the employer is trying to screen out candidates that don’t match their specific needs. A lot of pre-screen interviewers use a spreadsheet with 10 or so criteria that they are looking for, and every point in your favor is critical. If you are prepared, practiced, polished and professional, you may make it to the next round of interviews.
