First phone interview
I got a voice mail this morning from a friend of a colleague who needs to fill a position ASAP. I have some vague info about the job from my colleague and know that they need to hire someone by tomorrow. I'm treating this phone call like an interview - maybe it will be the only one I get, who knows.
Its been over 5 years since I've had a job interview and I've never had a phone interview. Any tips? Typical questions to expect during a phone interview? I really wish I had more time to prepare.

Re: First phone interview
My phone interviews have typically been asking me to verify my resume with them. Give start and end dates and reasons for leaving. Because I'm applying in a different field than my previous position I've been asked why I want to go into this new career field and why I was interested in the old field, ect. I've had some employers ask why I stayed as long as I did or why I didn't stay more than a year.
Take a deep breath. Good luck!
Phone interviews, for me, have been a little more blunt than ones IRL. I have been asked about my strongest and weakest skills and also what my last manager would say if asked about my work.
Just be yourself and tell the truth because as much as you want them to like you, you want them to be a good match for your personality and needs as well.
Good luck!
Oh whew, she asked some very quick questions on my management background, told me about the job and asked if I'm interested. I'm not sure it will fit what I need right now or if my management skills are strong enough but I emailed my resume and have an interview tomorrow.
I'm relieved it wasn't a phone interview but thanks for your advice!
