What kind of phone interview advice do you have?

I haven't interviewed in almost a year. I'm nervous I have a phone interview tomorrow.

I know about the company and the services they provide.
I know why I want to work there.
I have my "about me" ready. I have my strengths and weakness ready, along with explanations.
I also have questions that I want to ask them.

I don't want to have too much ready since i don't want to sound rehearsed.

What else should I do to prepare?

I really hope I don't miss the call. It'll be during my lunch break at work, in which I'll have to clock out and run to my car.

I’ve done them and it’s tough because you can’t get a read on their facial expressions. Have a copy of your resume and cover letter ready along with a copy of the job posting so you can refer to them if you get stuck. Make sure you have some questions ready.
Also since you can’t see them, don’t babble a bunch of fluff to fill dead space. If their question is answered and you don’t hear anything, they are probably just writing stuff down. And babbling will use up what sounds like a short window if you are on your lunch break.
