Phone interview, Help!

I submited my application to a book shop in the city, right next to my Uni campus. Awesome right?. The manager emailed me back saying to call her either today or Monday morning for a ten minute over the phone interview.

I don't like phones very much, I have heard my voice on a tape recorder, lol. I guess the bonus is that I don't have to spend an hour getting into professional gear, I can just wear casual and no one will have to know, well, unless they ask me to come in for a second interview today! I think I might pretend that I didn't read the email until later today. Therefore I'll have time to write a few things down about the company and write a few answers and or questions to ask her in the 10 minutes.

Help, um, what does one say on a telephone interview, other than obviously not saying 'um'.

-Hasta luego

that's strange...i've never had a phone interview or heard of one before. i say just do what you usually do with an ordinary interview, except you'll just be talking over the phone. at least you won't have to bother dressing up or actually going to the place hehe...you could do it in your pjs haha

Re: Phone interview, Help! - Book shop

Yeah, I think it was because of the Easter holidays, and Anzac Day holiday on Monday. The shop manager thought it was easier to contact people by phone and then narrow down the list a bit and call people back for interviews.

And even though I have to work on Sunday, I can still go to Church, because work would be in the afternoon .

I think the interview went quite well, but I'm not entirely sure, because she didn't ask me very many questions so I was making stuff up on the spot and asking her things. Well, I'll find out by Tuesday and I'll let you know.
