Hi, I'm a Columbia student and I'm interviewing these days for some quant roles - I've realized that I basically suck at phone interviews. My in-person interviews and tests usually go fine, but talking on phone, "thinking aloud", writing and actually solving the problem, all at the same time gets very chaotic, and I end up going blank, or taking a really long time to solve relatively easy problems. (I have a CS undergrad and messed up a pretty rudimentary algorithm question last week). Does anyone have any tricks/advice on how to maintain some clarity of thought while dealing with phone interviews?
