My current job is a result of a phone interview only. I was quite surprised when I was offered the job the following morning without having a face-to-face one. I'm contracting for a Fortune 100 company and discovered that they are not allowed to conduct face-to-face interviews anymore.
Be prepared since it may be your only interview.

Hi Everyone,
Is anyone familiar with telephone interviews? Is this the norm these days?
Would you have any tips for that type of an interview? The only one I
had before was about a year ago... when they said I kept interrupting
them... but it sounded to me like they were done speaking, and I wanted
to ask a question about what they were saying... so I know now not to
talk much... but then, what is the point of a telephone interview?
