⟩ Why should you be an active listener?
Hear out your interviewer's questions in full, without interrupting and make sure you ask follow-up questions for clarification if need be. Your interviewer cannot see you nod and may interpret your silence at the end of the phone as a dropped line, so be sure to interject the occasional active listening cues, such as: "I see," "right," "okay," "that is interesting," and "absolutely."
