Try to speak in a manner that is relaxed, confident and enthusiastic, remember that in a telephone interview it will be only your voice that can communicate who you are. Keep your answer to a minute or two at most. You can cover topics like education, work history, and recent career experience. Emphasize this last subject. All the very best!!

Hello,
During a telephonic interview make it a point to be precise yet careful about not missing out on any required details. Apart from mentioning your professional goals and strengths, you can add on a little bit about the work culture that you would prefer to be a part of. The person taking a telephonic interview would have definitely gone through your resume..so it is advisable to mention your qualities as well as expectations that are not mentioned in your resume.

Hi Madhu,
We dont tend to take the telephonic round of interview as serious as the personal round of interview. Since the telephonic round is the gateway to get into further rounds, we shoud give much importance to the prescreening telephonic round. The questions to expect are, Give a brief introduction of yourself, what do you know about our company? what would you like to know about us? Which companies have you worked for earlier?
Given are few points which can be considered before, during and after the telephonic interivew.
