It will probably be too late before anyone answers but has anybody had a phone interview? I'm so nervous. I can almost go to a in person interview without hyperventalating 
The temp agency I am with set one up with a publishing company and it really shouldnt' be nerve wracking considering I can be in my pj's watching cartoons and drinking while its going on but its new so its scary.

Now, without further info about what exactly it's for, I'm guessing it's a competency-based interview which is basically when they ask you to give examples from your life of when you've displayed qualities x y and z.
These are, as far as I can remember, all the ones that I've ever been asked
Leadership
Problem-solving
Motivation (of self and of others)
Influence on people / a situation
Organisation of people / a project
Research
Persuasion
Most challenging project / work
Goal orientation
Teamwork (Biggy)
Communication skills / 'soft' skills
Customer service
Adaptability / Flexibility
Normally about 4-6 are asked so don't expect more than that. Basically you can bullshit and they normally don't mind if you use the same example to show different qualities as long as you explain it well and don't repeat yourself.
Good luck :thumb:
And thanks thunder, that was scarily acurate! It helped alot. Perfect timing
