Phone Interview Questions
A time-saver interviewer will always review some typical phone interview questions and prepare answers for them beforehand. Depending on the company, a phone interview may be conducted by a human resource professional, a third-party recruiter, or even the hiring manager. Human resource professionals usually ask questions to verify your qualifications and your resume information. Recruiters and hiring managers may ask some technical questions.
Below are some frequently asked questions during phone interviews:
- Can you tell me a little about yourself?
- What made you apply for this position?
- How many years of experience do you have in _____?
- What are the top duties you perform in your current position?
- Why are you considering leaving your current position?

When You Don’t Get the Interview
You have sent your résumé to an excess number of recruiters and companies, and some weeks have passed and still there is still no response from any office. In such situations people feel really pissed. But you should not forget that Job searching requires patience and perseverance. If you did not get the call for an interview, you may ask why. Here are some possible explanations:
At times, the manager of a company or organization already has a candidate in mind. In such cases, jobs are only posted as a formality to follow the policy requirement. Many times the postings are formed by HR assistants, who are not familiar with the job. Therefore the posting may not reflect the requirements of the actual manager.

Google Lays Off 100 Recruiters; Planning to Lay off 10,000 Employees
Its not the small businesses anymore. Even the Giants like Google are feeling the pinch of a recession. Google in its efforts to cut HR related expenses has decided to layoff about 100 people worldwide. Although they are cutting jobs and releasing employees the cutting, so far, has been around the edges. This time it’s different because the company is cutting into its own staff
Google said on Wednesday, that it is laying off all recruiters. This is about one-quarter of the total number of recruiters currently hired by the company — Google has a workforce of 20 thousand. This move means it is slashing 1% of it’s workforce.
Why Google is doing this? Google is hiring fewer people than it used to — a lot fewer — so it needs fewer recruiters to get the job done.
According to the Google official blog, Laszlo Bock, vice president for HR , said: “Google is still hiring but at a reduced rate. Given the state of the economy, we recognized that we needed fewer people focused on hiring.”

A Human Resource Blog is Born
As integral part of my job, I have been headhunting since I was first promoted into a management position. Then as I progressed through corporate corridors and moved from a cubical to cabin to a corner room and then to a room with a view. I had my share of HR Managers and Recruiters and Employees and Applicants. I did few HR courses that provided me nothing except the opportunity to travel around the globe and make new friends.
For 2 years, I remained part of an HR Firm as their Chief Technology Officer and then Its Managing Director. During those two years I learned a lot about HR and the whole Job Market. I really fell in love with that.
My career moved to business consulting later( which I still do ). Human Resource and its management remains a major part of my consulting efforts.
During all this chaos, I had a chance to be-friend with many great people. Headhunters mostly. They are amazing people indeed. Given adequate resources and time, they can deliver anybody. This blog is dedicated to those friends. I will be seeking their help in posting here.
For start, I would like to review blogs around the globe regardless of their topic to network with people. The focus, however, will remain on Jobs, employment and everything related to it like
- Job Market News
- Review Of Job Search Engines
- Online Job Opportunities
- Career Advice
- HR Policies and Best Practices
