A job interview on the phone is just as important as in personAlesia Benedict, CPRW, JCTC Getinterviews.com
With all the job hunting going on right now, I get a lot of questions about how applicants can put their best foot forward and get hired.
To get the best information possible, I went to the source and surveyed a group of hiring managers. They shared the following tips — things they won't tell you at interviews, but sure wish you knew before you came in the door.
1. Know your stuff. Before any interview, do your homework and research the company. Very few candidates do this, so if you are one of them you'll immediately set yourself apart. Research the industry and, at the very minimum, read every page of the company website to learn more about clients, services, management and competitors. Read the company press releases to find out what their latest projects are. Utilize websites like LinkedIn or Google to learn the background of the people you'll be meeting.
Sample comment: "I have always been astounded when I ask the question 'Do you know what we do?' only to get a response like 'I sort of have an idea.'"
2. Show that you're a good match for the job and organization. Tell the interviewer how you see yourself fitting into the company and what value you'll be able to add quickly. Show that you're a team member who's willing to go to the mat, and that you're not just in the job until something better comes along. Strong commitment and positive attitude often go further than actual skill — as long as you're teachable, open to feedback and a quick study.
3. Don't be late. Allow yourself enough time to get lost or delayed in traffic. Make a dry run the day before so you know exactly where you're going, the best way to get there, and where to park. Have the phone number of the interviewer with you so if you're unavoidably delayed you can call and see if you should still come or if another time would be better.
4. Don't be early. If you're really early, find a place to freshen up a little bit and wait until your appointment. You can present yourself 5 - 10 minutes before your interview time, but no earlier. The interviewer is on a schedule and doesn't want to see you until the appointment time.
5. Dress appropriately. This sounds simple, but too many people show up for an interview with dirty, unpressed clothes, uncombed hair, and/or needing a shower.
Sample comment: "If someone wants a job in my office, they need to show me that they are capable of looking the part. If you would wear it to the gym or the grocery store late at night, it's probably not good for an interview."

HOUSTON - The turnout for early voting was meager, some say because many are confused about what kind, if any, identification is needed to cast a ballot.
Many lawmakers and elected officials called the situation a "crisis" and said they are concerned people are getting the wrong message about voting in the Texas primary.
"I spoke with a senior citizen who said she may not vote because she was confused," State Rep. Sylvester Turner said.
Last year the Texas Legislature passed a controversial voter ID bill, but those rules do not apply for this election. For Tuesday's primary election, all you need is to show your voter registration card, a driver's license, passport or any other acceptable form of ID. Rep. Al Green said one can even use their electric or phone bill to prove their residence.
At some polling locations, groups are keeping an eye on people showing up to vote, claiming they are trying to prevent voter fraud. But people who show up with their voter registration cards say they think it's an attempt to suppress turnout for elderly and minority voters.
There are other reasons, however, that the early voting turnout was low. The presidential primary is essentially decided and only a handful of local and state races have captured any attention.
If you still want to vote early, registered voters can cast a ballot at any polling place in the county they live in—but only during the early voting period.

We have been covering the secret U.S. drone war and the impending flood of U.S. drones into domestic airspace, but one New York street artist has taken the discussion to a new level.
Going by the name "Essam," the artist told ANIMAL New York that he is a 29-year-old art-school grad from Maine who served in Iraq as a geo-spatial analyst.
Over a two-day span in the last month he and his crew put up about 100 faux NYPD drone ads in various spots around the city to create a mainstream conversation about (potentially weaponized) drones coming to the skies above New York City and whether or not we as citizens want that to happen.
ANIMAL reports that he is currently being pursued by the NYPD's "counter terrorism squad," but we'd love to help extend the conversation that's he's having with the public.
We are the definition of discrete, we'll leave our cell phones behind and meet wherever he'd like, but we're pretty determined to highlight the apparent injustice against him by the NYPD. All while covering the full scope of his work, and its message, in a featured photo essay.
If you are "Essam" or know someone who knows him, please shoot us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com or a shoot Military Editor Robert Johnson a text at 917-715-6472.
Here's an interview he gave to ANIMAL:

Malaysia Airlines Flight 17: What we know today
Corrections & Clarifications: A previous version misidentified the Malaysian Minister of Transport, Liow Tiong Lai.
Following the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 crash Thursday — which killed all 298 on board — many questions still remain.
USA TODAY Network lists what we know now about the downed plane as the countries seek answers:
What challenges are investigators facing at the crash site?
Rebels reportedly forced investigators to hand over the remains of victims on Sunday and denied them access to the crash site. As many as 100 bodies remained unaccounted for.
"Malaysia is very concerned that the sanctity of the crash site has been severely compromised," Malaysian Minister of Transport, Liow Tiong Lai, said in a statement from Ukraine, where he has led a team of 133 investigators from his country.
Complete Coverage: Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17
Ukraine and Russian-backed separatists agreed Saturday to set up a security zone around the crash site of the Malaysia Airlines jet to allow the orderly removal of the bodies.
NETHERLANDS: Nation's pain turning to rage
An international delegation visited the crash site Friday evening but was only allowed a superficial visit to see one small portion.
Who was on board Flight 17?
The jetliner was carrying 298 people. The victims came from 11 countries.
The victims include 193 Dutch (including one dual Netherlands/U.S. citizen), 43 Malaysians (including 15 crewmembers and two infants), 27 Australians, 12 Indonesians (including one infant), 10 Britons (including one dual U.K./S. Africa citizen), four Germans, four Belgians, three Filipinos, one Canadian and one New Zealander, according to the full flight manifest released by Malaysia Airlines on Saturday.
MORE: AIDS conference remembers six who died
Malaysia Airlines and foreign embassies have "made every effort to establish contact with the next-of-kin" of the dead but still are unable to "identify many more family members," the airline said in a statement.
Where are the black boxes?
Rebel leader Alexander Borodai said the separatists recovered the black boxes from the flight and will hand them over to the International Civil Aviation Organization.
What kind of missile shot down the plane?
U.S. officials say it was a SA-11 surface-to-air missile that downed the Boeing 777. It is also known as a Buk, which was first built by the Soviet Union and is capable of shooting down jets traveling up to 70,000 feet.
Who took down the jetliner?
The latest U.S. intelligence assessment suggests that more than one missile system was provided to the separatists by the Russians in the past week or so, a U.S. official said Saturday, according to media reports. The official said it's not entirely clear whether the separatists just received the missile systems or whether they had them for a short time and only in recent days were trained or able to operate them.
GRAPHIC: Details of the Malaysia Airlines crash
The Pentagon said Friday that it is unlikely that pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine could obtain or operate the sophisticated missile system allegedly used to shoot down the Malaysia Airlines plane without Russian help.
Ukraine's government says the jetliner was shot down by a Russian aircraft.
Where was the airliner headed?
The Malaysian airliner was en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur with 283 passengers and 15 crewmembers when it crashed into rebel-held territory in eastern Ukraine.

Penn State Smeal Executive MBA Students, Alumni Reunite for THON
The Penn State Smeal Executive MBA Program hosted its annual holiday reunion event earlier this month, which included a silent auction raising more than $5,000 for the Four Diamonds Fund of the Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital.
The event was held at the ACE Conference Center in Lafayette Hill, Pa., to benefit the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (THON) and also provided students and alumni the chance to network with faculty and each other. The ACE Conference Center is where EMBA Program classes take place on alternating weekends throughout the year.
"The EMBA Program has a very connected community of students and alumni. Our holiday reunion is an annual tradition that allows us to reconnect in support of a great cause."
About 150 current EMBA students and program alumni attended the event, which was hosted by 2008 EMBA alumnus Ted Dwyer. Other speakers included Carol Montandon '13, who talked about her experience with her daughter participating in THON, and Hank Angus, founder of The Hope Express. The Hope Express is a 135-mile run organized between Hershey and University Park to raise awareness of the Four Diamonds Fund in the communities in between.
"The EMBA Program has a very connected community of students and alumni. Our holiday reunion is an annual tradition that allows us to reconnect in support of a great cause," said Tara Banerjee, program coordinator of the EMBA Program. "THON is something that brings all Penn Staters together, no matter their campus location, and that is something that the EMBA Program is proud to support."
Students, alumni, faculty, and staff donated items for the auction, including a Tex Mex enchilada dinner with Professor Ralph Oliva and family and a two-night stay at Stone Cottage at Whipple Dam, donated by EMBA Faculty Director Al Vicere and his wife, Nancy.
Other special guests in attendance included Russell Barton, senior associate dean of Smeal, and Todd Sloan, director of development.
THON is a student-run philanthropic effort partnered with the Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital to raise funds and awareness for the fight against pediatric cancer.

BANNER ELK, N.C. --- Six Lees-McRae men's basketball players recorded double digits while shooting 60.7% in the second, but a strong second half from Pfeiffer befuddled LMC while PU escaped with a 106-99 overtime victory in an entertaining Conference Carolina bout Saturday evening at Williams Gymnasium in Banner Elk, N.C.
The Falcons (4-10, 1-4 CC) earned their first conference win of the season while three players exploded for at least 23 points and helped knock down 15 free throws in the extra session. The Bobcats (6-8, 1-3 CC) dropped their third straight game despite a double-double from Jacquise Moore (Concord, N.C.)
Pfeiffer sprinted out to a 19-7 lead in the first eight minutes following a Mike Smith layup.
The Bobcats would shave the deficit to two after four players knocked down a three in part of a 13-4 run.
The Falcons AJ Clark and Mark Goods used a 7-0 run to stretch the lead back to nine, 30-21. However, Bobcat junior Darryl Bond (Nashville, Tenn.) went took over and scored five consecutive points before a pair of Donte Falls (Shelby, N.C.) free-throws knotted the game at 30.
LMC's bench dominated the first half, 15-0, but PU controlled the paint, 22-6.
A pair of Moore free-throws gave LMC a healthy eight-point advantage, however the Falcons clawed back to take a 56-55 lead.
The Bobcats Darius Malbon (Hickory, N.C.) gave LMC a 70-60 with 5:44 on the clock before PU finished regulation on a 21-10 run thanks to an Andrew Guerrero three with four ticks on the clock.
The overtime session turned into a free-throw contest while three Bobcats fouled out. PU went 15-of-17 from the line while knocking down 5-of-7 field goals in the extra period.
Smith led all scorers with 28 points while David McNair produced an impressive double-double (23 points, 18 boards).
Moore paced the Bobcat squad with 18 points and 12 rebounds. LMC dished out 15 assists and forced 20 turnovers.
The Bobcats look to snap their recent skid when they welcome Barton for a Conference Carolina game Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Easy as 1-2-3.
Or, you could say the Gauchos said "Uno, dos, adios" to UC Irvine on Friday night.
In other words the UC Santa Barbara women's volleyball team took the "three and flee" route when they routed the Anteaters 25-22, 25-21, 25-20 in a match that wasn't nearly as close as the scores would indicate. UCSB kept its spot in second place in the Big West, improving to 7-5 in conference and 14-11 overall.
The Anteaters fell to 9-14 overall and 3-7.
Leah Sully had an enormous night recording 18 kills and 18 digs in the three-set match, adding a solo block and two block assists as no other Gaucho reached double digits in kills.
Sully did have some help defensively as Kara Sherrard and Chelsey Lowe chipped in 16 and 18 digs, respectively.
Lily Lopez added eight kills while hitting .353, Hanna Nielson handed out 34 assists and UCSB used six service aces to its advantage. While the Gauchos hit just .169 and committed 20 hitting errors, the team gutted through the night with an entire team effort to hold off the Anteaters.
It showed early that UCSB wanted it more as the Gauchos trailed in the opening set, 8-2, before back-to-back kills from Sully and then three straight service aces fro Stacey Schmidt gave the Gauchos momentum. Tied 21-21, UCSB used a pair of attack errors from UCI and kills from Schmidt and Sherrard closed it out.
UCSB jumped out to a 21-14 lead in the second set and cruised through the final four points, although the Anteaters made it interesting when they rattled off five straight points to make it 21-19. But a UCI attack error killed the buzz and the Gauchos were set.
Leading 16-15 in the third, UCSB scored four of the next five points to take control and go home early.
Santa Barbara hosts Cal State Northridge on Wednesday night, Nov. 9 before saying farewell to Lowe, Lopez and Schmidt in a senior ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 12 vs. Cal Poly. Tickets are available by calling 893-UCSB (8272) or by clicking here.
