What not to do while attending Phone Interviews

My comfortable place while interviews, My bed :)

There is always some do's and don'ts for any professional meet, this being a interview one needs to be extra professional. This will be your first impression on the interviewer. Below are the few points that needs to be kept in mind while you sit for a Phone interview.

1. Deep Breathe           
   
   Take a deep breathe, its said that this enhances the oxygen level and makes your comfortable.
   While you breathe in just tell your mind that you are one of the minds that company needs, and you are going to ace the interview with the knowledge that you hold.
   
   
2. Phone Network
   
   Make sure the place where you are seated has a very good network connection/Wifi enabled.
   This will help in effective communication.
   
   
3. Essentials Around
   
   Keep the Notepad and pen by your side.  Don't have any other electronic device or books to disturb you. Also keep yourself hydrated. Make sure the surrounding is quiet.
   
   
4. Personality
   
   Your personality is reflected with your attitude to answer each question. So ,make sure you take each one of them peacefully, the interviewer is just like you, or say a little more knowledgeable.
   
   
5. No faking
   
   If there comes a question which you are not aware of, keep it simple and let it go by saying - Sorry, I don't know this and quote the reason for not knowing. Maybe you have never worked on that or maybe that is something which is rarely used.
   
   
6. Be precise
   
   For the concepts that you are quite aware, be precise and don't get over-excited with the easiness. Be slow, nobody is going to run away so soon.
