3 Telephones Blunders to avoid when calling a perspective employer!

The telephone is the most important method of communications and anyone looking for a job who hasn’t mastered the basics of using a phone is in deep trouble. Here are 5 of the most common and easily overcome mistakes.

1. I couldn’t understand your name when you left the message – take extra care and make sure speak clearly when leaving your name.
   
2. Your message was disjointed and very confusing – If the message you leave a potential employer is not clear and concise you are going to leave them wondering how you will do working for them. Your message to a potential employer should be a quick 30 second telephone commercial showing the value you will bring to the job.
3. You rhymed off your phone number so fast that I listened to the message a couple of times and still couldn’t catch what you said. Slow down when you leave your phone number and always say it clearly a minimum of two times.

It only takes a few seconds to correct these very common blunders and move your opportunites from “never stood a chance” to a possible “yes”. You need to to everything in your power to make it easy for a potential employer or potential client to want to do business with you.
