A phone screen round is oftentimes when a recruiter has a 1:1 conversation with you about a role you applied for. These are often 15-20 minutes in length.

It often includes:

• Logistical information

  These aren't so much get to know you as just checking off and confirming information.

  • Name/major/college/graduation year/require sponsorship/etc, or more or less confirming stuff you put on your initial job app

• Behavioral questions

  This is to get a better sense of how you operate and/or otherwise under working with others and different type settings.

  • How would you go about hypothetical situations?
  • How have you worked in team conflicts?
  • How have you lead a team previously?

• Company questions

  This is to get a sense of why you like this company compared to applying to another.

  • What do you know about "company?"
  • Why are you interested in "company?"

• Technical questions

  This wouldn't be as technical as a portfolio review round, but sometimes they might ask your familiarity with design/research tools.

  • What's your familiarity with <design/research tool>?
  • What tools do you know related to this role?
  • Talk about a project you went with using these.
