Telephone Interview

Nathan has a telephone interview coming up soon.

It's been a lot of years since I did something like that.

We're learning that it can make a person pretty nervous to do an interview on the phone.  One reason is that without the usual facial and body language cues, it's hard to feel comfortable.  Also, when there's something you really want to do, and you know that part of the decision about whether or not you'll be allowed to do it is based on your performance....whew! hard stuff.

The great thing is that there's so much good information about interviews on the internet.  We made up a list of questions and divided them three ways.  Joseph and I planned to each do interviews with Nathan.  One of Joseph's friends graciously said he'd call and do an interview.  That happened tonight.

Anyone else out there want to do a practice interview with Nathan?  We'll provide you with the questions.

  1. I'd love to. I could do it Sunday afternoon or some day next week right when he gets home from school (when my kids are still in school) :) let me know if I can help.
