What employers want from a telephone interview


Video transcript

Iain Heath, graduate programme manager at Centrica

"The telephone interviews is our chance to dig much deeper into what the online application has told us. We are very interested in finding out what that particular applicant has brought to the organisations they've been part of from a work perspective and what they've contributed to the extracurricular societies they've belonged to and how they've developed their own competencies and how they have utilised those competencies to have an impact, so it’s all about seeing how their past experience shapes up in terms of boding well for a successful future within the company."
