很多外企在當面的面試之前會有一個電話英語面試，時間一般在20-30分鐘左右，用以核實求職者的背景和英文表達力。繁星英語熱線建議，求職者在投遞簡歷以后要做好各種充分的準備。
如果你提前知道了電話面試的時間，則可以在面試時把簡歷、coverletter放在你旁邊的桌子上，直接運用里面的句子回答問題。一些基本的問題，你可以事先準備好答案。通常，在電話英語面試的時候會提道：
.Please tell me something unreflected at yourC.V./about yourself/your experience/your activities.談談你簡歷中沒有提及的一些事情/談談你自己/你的經歷/你參與的活動?！ ?BR> .An example of team work.舉出一個你參與團體合作的例子。
.Why do you choose this position？你為什么選擇這個職位。
.Why should we hireyou？為什么我們應該雇用你？
. 開放式討論如In formation Technology（信息技術）或者the role of university in society（大學的社會角色）等，主要考查求職者的思維方式。
. 自由提問。求職者可以事先準備一些問題去詢問面試官。
聽不清時怎么辦
如果有話語沒有聽清楚，求職者不必緊張，可以鎮(zhèn)定地請求再說一遍?？梢杂玫降木渥樱?BR> .pardon？請再說一遍
.Would you please simplify the question？您能把這個問題說得簡單些嗎？
.Would you please say iti nother words？您能用別的話來表達您的意思嗎？
.Would you please speak a little bit louder？I can not hear you clearly.您說話聲音能大一點好嗎？我聽不清楚。
如何應對突襲電話面試
當你正在球場或者公交車上突然接到了面試電話，此時沒有任何準備，建議你首先試探看看是否可以給你個準備時間稍后再進行電話面試。可以用到的句子：
.May I call you back half an hour l ater？May I have your phone number and recall you？
如果可以贏得時間，你應該馬上趕回去，攤開資料寫出一個提綱，從容應答。如果對方不同意推遲時間，你應該馬上找個安靜的地方坐下來開始回答。
