Title: Re: Telephone Interviews Post by: Joobie538 on October 26, 2008, 12:30:56 PM I had a telephone interview with them (a long time ago) caught me completely off guard - only phoned up for an application form, 35mins later I'm still on the phone! expect quite a few maths questions i.e if a customer wanted £550 pounds how many £20 note would you give them ( i was not prepared for this, flunked and never heard back from them sigh......)

If it's like that then you don't need to worry about it as normal interview preparation will prepare you for it. And if it's like Joobie's one then you don't need to worry about it as that sounds like something anybody with half a brain could pass ;D Title: Re: Telephone Interviews Post by: Rod Paradise on October 26, 2008, 01:56:50 PM I have a telephone interview with rbs for a summer internship tomorrow.

Irrational crankiness - I have heard this is a common sympton of caffeine withdrawal. Make yourself a nice cup of coffee, it will make you feel better. Title: Re: Telephone Interviews Post by: rossfourfive on October 26, 2008, 03:23:20 PM I've just been doing usual interview prep so hopefully they don't spring any surprises.
Advantage with phone interview is i can have everything written down in front of me. Fingers crossed.
