Sirlei’s Answer

Hi Martin M.,

First of all, be yourself. When you try to be someone else, that usually backfires!

Be courteous, respectful, and don't interrupt.

Also, prepare! Read the job posting before the interview, and see how your experiences and education best fit the posting. HR is probably going to ask you about your education and experiences and how all that fits into the job you're applying for.

I hope this helps!

Best of luck.
Thank you comment icon Thank you, Sirlei! Steven

Waleed’s Answer

Ask to speak to human resources, personnel or the person responsible for hiring. State that you are calling to learn about the company. State briefly what your value is to the company and ask about current or expected employment opportunities. Avoid leaving messages.

Safwan’s Answer

Preparation is the most important part of speaking. I know people can't prepare for everything, but try to consider before hand what types of questions HR could throw at you. Try to google some examples and practice it in front of a mirror. Record yourself and listen to how you talk, make sure you stay loud enough and don't mumble. Try to keep eye contact with yourself in the mirror. If you can prepare before hand, take the time to do so.

Yong Chieh’s Answer

Understanding the job scope would be the 1st priority, as to know what is the correct experience and skillset you will need to relate to when speaking to HR thru the phone. Give brief instances on how your experiences will contribute to the position you are applying for, without providing too much insight technically, as HR personnel will not know in depth on the position but only based their knowledge on brief description provided by the hiring manager. This is as so not to confuse or bore them with details which may not apply to them. Just be calm thru out the interview and answer honestly as per your experiences, there is no need to lie or be embarrassed to not know something. If there is something in the question that you do not know, it just only points out a gap in your knowledge pool and you can put some effort in to better prepare yourself for the next interview. Don't be disheartened if you failed to get to the next phase of the interview, just learn from each interview and you will get the hang of getting thru interviews with good impressions by the interviewer, it is just a matter of time and effort put in to learn from each interview session.

Nothing good will come with only 1 try. Hope my suggestion will help u out in your future interviews.
