Three Types of Telephone Interviews

There are three basic types of telephone interviews:

1. You initiate a call to the hiring manager and they are interested in your background. The call from that point forward is an interview.
2. A company calls you based upon a previous contact. You will likely be unprepared for the call, but it is still an interview.
3. You have a pre-set time with a company representative to speak further on the phone. Also an interview.
