Here is my another post about preparing for Java Interviews, this time we will take a look at 40 core Java questions from telephonic round of Java Programming interviews. Phone interviews are usually the first step to screen candidate after selecting his resume. Since its easy to call a candidate then to schedule a face-to-face interview, book rooms and arrange for meeting, telephonic round of interviews are quite popular now days. There were days only one telephonic round of interview was enough but now days, its almost two and three round of phone interview with different team members. Key to success in telephonic interview is to the point and concise answer. Since Interviewer wants to cover lot of things on telephonic round, they appreciate to the point answer instead of blah blah and dragging answer for sake of time. Always remember, its your time to make impression also so make sure you have good phone, fully charged and use voice modulation technique to be as clear as possible. Even if you don't know the answer, think a loud, interviewer appreciate ability to think and some time that proves to be decisive as well.
