I just got a first-round phone interview. All of my other first-round interviews were at school. For a phone call, do I call them or should I give them my number? Sorry for asking this stupid question. Thank you for your help in advance and any kind of advice for the interview will be really helpful.

they didn't tell you that they were calling you. if they didn't say so, they will most likely call you. That's at least the way its been in my experience
Thank you for your reply! They gave me time slots and I have to pick one. They didn't really give any further instruction.
On phone interviews they will always call you, you never call the interviewer. They will also have your phone number most likely, if not they will send an email for you to send a phone number to call.
Ok pick one, and then see what they say. If they don't say anything after you pick a time, then just shoot them a brief email and ask them if they would prefer that you call them, or that they call you. I had to do that same thing after picking a time slot
Got it! Also, can I send the email right now? It's 10 pm EST or should I wait till Monday? Thank you so much.
I would wait until early morning monday
Got it! Thank you so much.
for sure man, good luck
