EUC benefits
- I wish there was a way that all 2 million of us who are about to lose benefits could speak up together and get the assistance we need! I follow the updates online but the information is so scattered. There are obviously many, many people who are going to be in a world of hurt if the extensions do not get approved. I'm scared to death right now because jobs are scarce. Mine was shipped to the Dominican Republic when the company I worked for for 15 years decided to take advantage of all the tax incentives they get when they offshore their labor. There should be tax penalties, not tax INCENTIVES, when a corporation sends our jobs out of the country.

Dead Air
- Just like on the radio, silence or dead air can immediately lose attention, especially if you don't preface it. If a difficult question is thrown your way, say something like "That's a good question. Let me think about it for a second." It will at least let the interviewer know you aren't at a loss for words and it sounds better than a bunch of "uhs" and "ums."

Tone of Voice
- The interviewer is unable to read your body language, so tone of voice goes a long way in a phone interview. Ensure that your tone is expressive and engaging.

Phone Interview Tips
- The night before my scheduled phone interview I brainstormed questions to ask the interviewer. I wrote down my favorites and when it came time to ask questions, I was prepared and sounded very articulate.
