Has anyone have a phone interview with Hewlett-Packard?

Question

I am about to have one today and I want to know what do they ask and how long is it? I am really worried about it so please help!

Answer 1

Relax, you'll do fine. I had a phone interview and in person interview many years ago. I'm sure they will ask you some of these questions:

Why do you want the job?
What do you know about HP?
What is your previous experience?
Where do you want to be in 5 years?
What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Good luck.

Answer 2

An interview can take place over the telephone for a variety of reasons. The company may be located at a distance from the job applicant, or perhaps the applicant or hiring manager is out of town. Or the interview may be a basic screening call, with a set of rote questions being asked to determine fundamental qualifications.

Whatever the situation, follow these simple rules:

+ Do not go ahead with the interview if you are not prepared. Make arrangements to call back at a later time that same day.

+ Do not try to give an interview with the children screaming, the dog barking, or the television on in the background. Set yourself up in a quiet place or call back later.

+ Because the interviewer can’t see you, it is more difficult to establish rapport over the telephone. Try to arrange a face-to face meeting as the next step.

+ With today’s technology, telephone interviews may include conference calls with several interviewers participating at one time. It is perfectly acceptable to ask that a question be repeated or to ask who is speaking. Make sure to write down the names of all participants at the beginning of the call and refer them by name throughout the interview.

Peace and blessings!
