    Telephone screening is becoming very common as the first step in the interview process so you need to be prepared for the phone to ring at any time. These screenings usually last 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your answers and fit for the job. It's helpful if you've thought about questions likely to be asked during the screening (Why did you/are you leaving your job? What makes you qualified for this position?) and prepared your answers.
