Does a phone interview ever leave you confident...
-
Since I avoid personal interviews as I am just a student at the moment. Most of the HRs and company owners reach me by mobile. Almost 80% of my interviews have always been through a mobile phone as they call me directly and start offering me different packages. Frankly, the same feeling is going on at both ends. That is why, I would personally recommend that you look forward to a personal interview. :laugh:

I must admit it's easier face to face. The fact that you take cues from expressions I find easier to take the hint to shut the elephant up!

I seem to remember some talking about this yesterday as I type this I have:

You are not alone. There are others having the same problem after Firefox has been updated to version 42.

Exactly, that is much more simpler to tackle and make sure "it went great!". :-) Anyways, good luck with the interviews! Find the best one..

I just checked with FireFox (version 39.0 and the latest, 41.0) and I still see them... And you on a tablet or phone, perhaps?

Ignore the last, I just double checked the FF revision, and...it's updating again... Nope, 42.0 and I still see them.

It's an on-going problem with the server-side browser detection code ... which just goes to show why you shouldn't use server-side browser detection! :rolleyes: The results from this page[^] will help the hamsters track down the problem. The usual request is to email them to Chris. In the meantime, you could always change your useragent to spoof FF41. :)

Hi All, Just had a phone interview. They always leave me with a feeling that I have just said the wrong thing. I think the guy on the end of the phone was expecting someone who had more High Frequency design experience than I have :( . Also this new set up with the emoticons hidden :( I don't really like mind you it will stop some ridden messages I suppose need :beer: (hey still works!)
A phone interview is getting a data set in an excel sheet. If it is a "interviewer" and NOT some manager of the company it leaves a bad taste. I am really keen to see the office and people of a new company. It is the most important detail for me and one the other side cant deceive.:cool:

Hmm, I use to be the same way until I had to conduct a telephone interview...

I usually don't carry one at work, as it means interruptions whenever I'm in flow. If there is an offer, they can describe it and explain why I would be interested. If they can't or won't, then they are not interested in hiring me.

I once had a phone+teamviewer test of skills. Most of the time I was waiting for the text to catch up with me as the connection was very slow. Took me almost an hour to make a simple calculator. Oh and every time I hit compile/run, the only feedback I would get is crash or successful - from the guy on the other side of the phone. No why or any errors written. Luckily the errors showed up in the IDE, but still, it was annoying. By the end of that test, I was left with a very low self-esteem and even though they said that I should learn and call them back for another test like that, I never did.

I have done a test like that in C when I was a fresh out the box graduate. Was not impressed. I did feel like a tool!!

I'm not keen on talking on the phone anyway, you cannot judge reactions properly without being able to see a face. Plus I always imagine they're sat in their office making rude gestures to each other about me or drawing dick pics with name on on their pads and showing them to each other then muting the phone whilst I talk so they can have a good giggle the utter bastards.

If the interview is conducted over the phone by the people who work with the application, they can ask relevant questions. My last two positions have been via phone interviews, highly technical in nature, and I was asked how to solve relevant issues.

Can be tricky, especially if on a poor line. But in general, hit and miss.

Just got a mail from the agent, "You have not been selected for the next stage" :( ,I think they are a bit awkward as you said a poor line and you can't pick up on visual cues...
