TELECONFERENCE

Conference calls used to be quite clunky affairs, where connections were lost and people talked over each other. No one really knew how to improve them and most companies arranged no more than a few here and there, due to their inherent difficulty and potential to go disastrously wrong.

These days, however, conference calls are a lot more advanced. Many service providers use high quality lines with instant connection times, and no overlap between speakers and their voices. This means that making a conference call these days is simpler, more practical, and less expensive.

The ease at which one can now arrange for a conference call to take place within minutes is quite staggering. Service providers are so effective and efficient these days that the can have all the attendees connected within seconds, and can guarantee no down time when the call is in progress. This means no embarrassing silences, or moments where misunderstandings can take place.

The beauty of conference calling lies in the connectivity. Say there had to be a panel interview for a candidate for a post in your company. They had already passed the first phase of interviewing, and were now being assessed for their ability to deal with quick fire questions under pressure. A good quality conference call can ensure that the questions are delivered quickly, and with minimum fuss. This leaves the panel members the easy task of noting whether the candidate can stand up to pressure. And no one has to leave the office.
