I had a phone interview for a research institute position in Ann Arbor, MI. The call was from Texas, and it was pretty easy and helpful. They asked about my basic skills and when I could start. They were already behind schedule on the project I was being hired for, so my availability was super important. They didn't ask any difficult questions, mostly just reviewed my skills and confirmed my start date. I was offered the job later than they initially said, but I accepted it.
