What should I expect from a phone interview?

[schneiderguy]

I've been applying for summer internships and HP wants to do a phone interview with me for an EE internship.

What do they ask in phone interviews? I've never done one before D:

Should I mention that my Dad and Grandpa both worked for HP for 30+ years? Should I mention my ATOT postcount? Thx

Ask the interviewer what they're wearing

be honest about your height and sexuality

We do an initial phone screen on all applicants for programming positions. Not sure if what you'll go through is the same in this case, but assume it is going to be like any other interview... just over the phone.

Make sure to tell them you need nef breaks every hour

I find I do better in phone interviews if I'm completely naked. Especially if it's done as a video conference call.

It will likely be a series of questions from them. They will expect you to answer these questions to the best of your ability. At that point they may ask you if you have any questions for them, at which point they will do their best to answer them. So I guess one could consider it an interview, except it's not in person, it's over the phone. One might even call it a "phone interview" so to speak.
