All, I was wondering what I should expect from a phone interview. I'm an international in Australia and I have just been invited by my DREAM SCHOOL so I'm really very excited and that excitement is channeling itself into nervous impulses. 1: Are the sorts of things discussed during phone interviews different to those discussed during in-person interviews, the whole what is each person interested in and then looking for a fit. For some reason, I seem to associate them with more sell-yourself requirement. Is this an incorrect assumption? 2: What are the normal rates of acceptance from phone interviews? I suspect, but again I could be wrong, that the phone interviews reach a larger pool of candidates than in-person interview weekends. If anyone can cast any light on this, it would be great. 3: Would it be bad to ask the administrator who is scheduling the call any of these things? 4: Any advice generally about phone interviews? Thanks muchly!
