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......)

So have I but it must have been for a different type of job, because mine was like a normal interview but just by phone. 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

 What?  Was it something I said? sorry did you say something? 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.

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.

Good luck with it  Just remember to have your notes, a calculator and a spellchecker to hand.
