Phone interview tip: stand up

Phone interviews are difficult for many on the Spectrum as it introduces a flat sounding medium between us and the interviewer (although in some cases that might be a help). There are dozens of tips floating around out there about how to make a phone interview go well; some are easier than others.

One quick thing I have heard, tried, passed on and received great feedback on is to stand during the phone interview. It stretches out the diaphragm and strengthens the voice. I started doing that for business calls too and it has been helpful.

One thing though, don't pace. Once I became out of breath from nervously walking and had to answer questions about that.
