很多公司都会在面试流程中安排电话面试的环节，以此来筛选掉堆积如山的简历，确定最后可以进入面试的候选人。但是，很多求职者对此不够重视，没有在电话面试中给面试官留下好印象从而失去了直接面试的机会。 

　　Many applicants fail to take telephone interviews seriously, and risk losing out as a result, according to a recent survey. Recruiters reported candidates eating, driving, bathing, breastfeeding, dogwalking and even going to the loo during telephone interviews. 

　　根据一份最新的调查研究显示，很多求职者都对电话面试不以为然，从而失去了机会。招聘单位反映，有的求职者会一边在进行电话面试一边在做其他事情，比如吃饭、开车、泡澡、哺乳、遛狗，甚至上厕所。 

　　Recruiters also bemoaned the use of slang and street talk: calling your interviewer ‘mate' or finishing sentences with ‘innit' is not a winning strategy. 

　　招聘人还建议求职者在电话面试中要用语正式，不要用俚语或街头流行语：比如把面试官叫做“哥儿们/姐儿们”，或者讲完话就随口问道“是不？”，这些做法都无法在电话面试中过关。 

　　Here are my top tips on performing strongly during telephone interviews.

　　5.Take things slowly –there is no need to rush. 

　　慢慢来，没有什么事需要你急着去做的。 

　　Don't: 

　　你不应该这么做：

　　表现出兴趣缺缺的样子——面试官希望听到的是，你非常渴望这份工作。
