I'm scheduled for my 'phone screen' tomorrow - the actual 'phone interview' comes a few steps later. EJ Alumni, Is this something I should worry about or prepare for?

This sounds like a behavioural interview. Google that and have fun.

I'm just a bit ahead of you in terms of the EDJ process.. your initial phone screen is going to be short: 15 to 30 minutes depending on how much you talk. Just expect some easy questions like: "Talk about a time you had to explain something challenging to someone" or "When was a time you had to do something (sales-related)?" Long story short - they're looking for someone who is sales-savy and not a retard.Good luck!Hmm.. those kind of questions can be tough if I have to sit and think to come up with a similar situation from my past. I honestly don't remember all the stuff I've done and the situations I've been in and I don't want to look stupid while I dredge my memory.Perhaps I could just talk about how I would handle such a situation (sort of hypothetically) since that's probably what they want to determine anyhow? Or, I could always just make up likely situations, but I'd rather not do that... Too much risk of coming off as a fraud.
