Whether I am the one getting interviewed or interviewing someone else. It is hard to judge the other person's reactions when you can't see their facial expression and silence is more awkward over the phone. sunny on "Do you prefer phone interviews or in-person ones?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-phone-interviews-or-in-person-ones#post-1831243 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 12:53:43 +0000 sunny 1831243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ In person for sure! autumnlove on "Do you prefer phone interviews or in-person ones?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-phone-interviews-or-in-person-ones#post-1831242 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 12:52:53 +0000 autumnlove 1831242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mrsjazz: eeeeeew!!!!

Make sure you dress up for your phone interview. It's silly but it helps! @autumnlove: Ugh. Why did you have to remind me about this thread?!?!?! :silly: I did great on that phone interview, was recommended by the search committee after a 2-hour in-person interview with 6 people and then the director hired someone else because she was more of a "strong Black woman." I hate that guy. autumnlove on "Do you prefer phone interviews or in-person ones?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-phone-interviews-or-in-person-ones#post-1831161 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 12:29:13 +0000 autumnlove 1831161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @NovBaby1112: I found some of my old tips here! haha, I don't have to do them anymore!

But I do like that I don't have to get dressed up and put make-up on lol!! blackbird on "Do you prefer phone interviews or in-person ones?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-phone-interviews-or-in-person-ones#post-1831122 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 12:19:01 +0000 blackbird 1831122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ In person. I like for my charisma, sparkle, and smile to win people over. No seriously, i just find phone conversations more awkward. youboots on "Do you prefer phone interviews or in-person ones?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-phone-interviews-or-in-person-ones#post-1831104 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 12:12:19 +0000 youboots 1831104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ In person, for me and for them. I 'interview' all my wedding clients in person the only time I don't is if it will be a travel wedding then I Skype. It's hard to capture chemistry/connection over the phone. snowjewelz on "Do you prefer phone interviews or in-person ones?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-phone-interviews-or-in-person-ones#post-1831082 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 12:06:14 +0000 snowjewelz 1831082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I prefer in-person too.
