Telephone interviews offer a unique blend of benefits and challenges for both employers and job applicants. One of the main advantages is the flexibility in attire, as candidates can dress comfortably without worrying about making a visual impression.

The employer can not be impressed by your posture, clothing choice, or how you hold yourself (which could be good for the person applying for the job).
