I have had a couple of phone interviews. Make sure you are somewhere that is quiet (disconnect the door bell) and comfortable. I have always used a hands free phone as that way I can move around, stand if needed etc – I find that it helps

Have you CV to hand as you can then refer to it in the interview

Good luck :!:
Good tips, thanks!

I think this is more of a tech screen thing to make sure I know my stuff.

I'll def be on hands free though so I can type if needed (not sure if they need me to access a remote computer or something).

Will def have CV on standby also.

It's arranged for 7:30 pm on Friday (11:30 am PDT) so should be fairly quiet in the house anyway.

Good luck and I hope that they offer you ridiculous sums of money to do it as well.

Well done, young Oliver!
Fingers crossed for you - but if they mention anything about maps in the job description, run like f**k!!
:lol:

Samsung Galaxy Note taken :lol:


Brilliant news, Oli. Best of luck to you.

Just remember, if it is a phone interview, to invest in a silent keyboard.

I did that once, and just googled anything I wasn't sure of... I got the job and they never twigged! :lol:

I was made redundant, by the way, not sacked for being a flim flam man... ;)

LOL! Well I've got an Apple one and it's very silent. One downside of spending so much time designing Aa keyboard. :lol:

Good luck!

At Google you code into a shared Google Doc. You couldn't be accepted if you didn't type! (8-p)

Ah FFS! My brother just reminded me that we're off to see Jesus Christ Superstar on Friday evening.

Right when I've booked the apple thing.

I'd normally just cancel the show but he bought the tickets for me for my birthday.

I've asked the lady at Apple if we can rearrange for tomorrow.

Gutted though, couldn't have been a worse combination of things to double book.

If she can't rearrange; cancel the show and don't even think twice about it.

(I wouldn't put Andrew Lloyd Webber before a career... maybe Les Mis..)

Good luck, and hope that you get the job. Will they be sending the private jet to collect you? ;)
