In what ways do you act differently in a face-to-face meeting than you do during a telephone conference call?

Answer: When you have a face to face interview you have to make sure that you look great, speak correct English, and make sure you give you attention to who you are speaking to. You want them to know that you mean what you are saying and not just making up something so you can seem smart. Now when you have a conversation on the phone you just have to make sure that you listen to every word they say.

What listening hurdles do you find yourself facing as you listen to others? How do you handle it when you believe someone you're speaking to is not hearing what you say?

Answer: My hurdles are that I really don't hear to what people say when they talk to me. I listen to them I just don't hear them I trying to change and start to hear what people are saying to me. When I feel like someone is not hearing what I am saying I get upset so I know others get when I do the same thing.
