Every job interview process has a shorter phone screen during which you are asked basic questions to see if you are a good match for the job.
The phone screen isn't a difficult part of the interview, but many people don't get it right because they don't know exactly which questions are coming and how to answer them.
It's a shame to have a great resume, do all that job research, send a great cover letter, be qualified for the job - all to fail the simple phone screen.
SCRIPTS FOR ANSWERS TO THE COMMON QUESTIONS
In the course, you will be able to find templates for how to structure your answers to the common phone screen questions so that you not only ace the phone screen interview, but also get the right information which you can use that information on the next rounds of the interview process.

USE THIS NO MATTER WHO INTERVIEWS YOU
You can use these scripts in conversations with recruiters or hiring managers. Recruiters usually have more predictable and less technical questions. Hiring managers tend to get technical sooner. But in both of these cases, you will still be asked most of the questions covered in this course.
