Here is a little wrap up on the Do's & Don'ts while on a telephonic interview.

    Do give correct and detailed contact information so your interviewers can easily connect with you.
    Do ensure that your family is aware that this telephonic conversation is important in your job search
    Do know about the job and the company you are interviewing for
    Do practice. Modulate you tone. Check your speed and pronunciations. Take appropriate pauses.
    Do make sure you are in a place where you can read notes, take notes, and concentrate. ensure that you can hear and are being clearly heard.
    Do make synopsis to avoid fumbling. This will also make you more confident since you are prepared. Ask thoughtful questions to end the conversation intelligently.
    Do also have your resume with you, so that you have all the necessary important information handy.
    Don't get nervous between conversation breaks. If you've completed a response, but the interviewer hasn't asked his or her next question, don't start to fill in airtime.
    Don't panic if you have special needs. If you are hearing-impaired, for example, phone interviews are still possible.
    Don't snuffle, sneeze or cough. If you can't avoid these behaviors, say "excuse me."
    Don't eat or drink while speaking.
