I've had phone interviews for over a decade now, especially for first-cut
engineering jobs that would have meant relocation. Two of these interviews
had "tests" involved with them - I had to solve problems over the phone.
Remember to smile when you're talking - it changes the timbre of your voice.
More recently, the phone interview has been with the recruiter, not the
actual hiring manager.
