Counter offers. They’re really very flattering, aren’t they? You’ve handed in your notice and are ready to move on to bigger and better things, only to find that your current employer makes a new offer in a bid to keep hold of you and the skills you have to offer. Wow!
They’re not always ideal though, are they? After all, you’ve gone to all that trouble of updating your CV, tweaking and tailoring it for the jobs you’ve found and attending as many interviews as necessary for someone to offer you the right opportunity, and then your current employer throws a big, fat spanner in the works!

Mastering the art of telephone interviews begins with understanding the reasons that companies use them as part of the selection process.
