Phone interview... still waiting for the call!

I'd look at the bright side. They have to apologise to you as soon as you start talking to you

. On the other hand the nerves do suck, if you've any notes or any questions you think they might ask you just go through your answers to them etc and give them a call if they haven't contacted you soon.

I have my "answers" at hand in case I go into panic mode. Otherwise, I'm prepared - but no matter how prepared one is, they always ask you someone you can't answer and this being an interview, the nerve is either make or break me.

I've noted that and will phone them 16:10 sharp if he doesn't phone.

My panic mode is answering the question with a question - where I ask for clarification on the question they've asked me which should make the question easier to answer if that makes sense? It also gives me some more time to think

So it wasnt really an interview, and just a call from a recruitment agent to capture you skillsets and what sort of positions you want to work in, therefore there is little merit in either side blowing smoke up the others ass.

I don't know what exactly they're doing for or looking, it's apparently a formal interview over the phone and quite possible a follow up face to face interview. Regardless, I'm ready for tomorrow and want to get these done and over~
