There are two types of telephone interviews, scheduled and unscheduled. A telephone job interview may be scheduled with you at an agreed time and date for a couple of reasons:
· The boss or division may be going through an first screening process and the first step is a telephone interview.
· It could be an interview with a firm where one of the decision makers is out-of-town and unable to meet you in person.

Unscheduled job interviews are typically a phone call to the number you have on your resume. If you are actively job searching you could receive a phone call at anytime. Generally, they are a effect of your Cv/Resume being posted on-line, mailing or delivering your resume to prospective employers or completing job applications. The purpose of the call is commonly to check some details, confirm if you are still seeing for work, or to schedule an appointment for an interview.
You will often receive these calls when you least expect them. You should be asked if it is favorable to talk and if it's an awkward time for you (for a genuinely good reason), say so and while not ideal, agree to someone else time. Or, offer to call the someone back at a time favorable for them. No matter how short the conversation is, all the time be friendly, pro and obvious by saying that you are glad they called; you are very interested in the position/company and would be delighted to talk further.
Regardless of the imagine for a telephone job interview you must be ready and all the time treat this informal telephone conversation as part of the interview process. When actively job searching, it's a good idea to leave a notepad, pen and a copy of your resume genuinely accessible by the phone.
