Phone Interview Questions?

Phone interviews are generally just starter questions. Why do you want to work here? Why would you be a good fit? Do you have experience? Are you flexible? Etc. Of course, it varies, but that's my experience. While in person interviews are more in depth.

Thank you for your reply, @mindofmidwifery. It's in less than 12 hours so I have faith that I'll be prepared.

It went really well. Nothing I wasn't prepared for. In fact, pretty sure I was over prepared for it. Lasted about 24 minutes and was very friendly and mostly conversational. I did get the "why do you want to work for us?" question. I also got the "tell me about a time where you were in a really stressful situation and you had to think and act fast?" question as well as the "what do you think makes you a good candidate for this position" question. My answers were pretty long so I'm not sure that she asked everything she'd intended to.

At the end, she said she'd contact the hiring manager (whom I'd already interviewed with in person) to see if she wanted to extend an offer to me. I then sent the recruiter a 'thank you' email and the next morning she called me with an offer of employment, which I accepted. I've filled out all of the electronic paperwork for the on-boarding process, have my health screening next week and now I just sit and wait for them to get back to me regarding my background check and all of that stuff. Kinda nervous about that. I don't have any criminal activity or anything sketchy like that but I don't have the best credit and having read the paperwork, it looks like they do a credit check. I'll have to call on Monday and ask.

Thats awesome! Congratulations :) I can't imagine that your credit would be a factor in your position. What unit is it on?
