Job Search Coach: Voice Mail
Make sure that your contact number has voice mail.
When placing a call, outline your message before you pick up the phone.
Identify yourself, the reason you’re calling and the action you wish the other party to take. Repeat your name before you hang up, and clearly state your phone number — twice.
ALWAYS leave your call back number, even when you’re returning a call, or are positive that the other party knows it.
Call ID is standard, so the person you called 25 times in the last hour, hoping to bypass voice mail, probably knows it was you…not a terrific first impression.
