How To Use Your Voice Mail As An Interview Tool
You put together a great resume, filled out an online job application with your favorite job board. Now what? Now you’re waiting to get the phone call where the employer is calling you for a job interview. Sounds like you’re ready for the phone call, but is your phone?
Sure, it’s cool to have those funky and funny ringback tones, but does a potential employer want to hear that? Not only should you ditch your ringback tones, create a professional voice mail message by following these simple steps.
- Speak slowly and clearly
- Be sure to state your name in your message
- Make sure there are no distracting background noises (car horns, barking dogs or crying babies)
When you’re done creating your new voice mail, ask yourself “does my voice mail sound professional?” If you want a potential employer to see you as a professional then make sure you come off as a professional in your voice mail.
