Don’t take these interviews lightly. It is important to prepare for a telephone interview just as you would do for a regular interview.

Make sure that children, pets and other sources of interruption will be out of the room. Keep a glass of water nearby.
Phone interviews can often last a half-hour to an hour and be sure to have your résumé in front of you. Do your best to be personal, but don’t overdo it by, say, trying to tell a joke.
