The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Phone interviews are quite normal and quite common.
There are a bunch of tips and tricks out there, but
the bottom line is to treat them just as you would a
face-to-face interview. Be the best interviewee you
can, try to smile while talking, keep it upbeat, and
all that jazz. Talk it up, truthfully, and take
advantage of the time you have with the interviewer.
