» Voicemail For Job Seekers
Ever called a phone number and got a voice mail message
like this?
“
Heeeeeeeeeey…..It’s Jerry! I can’t
stop to talk right now – either too hung over or
too busy hitting clubs! Leave me a message.”
Voice mail can be a lot of fun, but, if you’re
looking for a job, you need to keep up a professional image.
The
funny personal greetings your friends and family love may
put off a recruiter or hiring manager. Even your references
may have second thoughts if they call and hear an odd message.
For
best results, put together a professional-sounding voice
mail message. Write out and practice the script,
so that you can make a smooth recording. Include your name,
phone number and a polite request for the caller to leave
a message. And remember to say thank you.
Hello, this is
(name) at (your phone number). I'm not available to take
your call, but if you leave your name,
number and a brief message, I will get back to you as soon
as I can. Thank you.”
If applicable, you can also
provide a cell phone number at which callers can reach
you. Remember to answer your
cell phone professionally too!
Should you be leaving town
or away from your voice mail for a few days, consider noting
that on your voice mail
message. That way, recruiters won’t think you’re
unavailable or disinterested if you don’t respond
to their call right away.
Like every other tool you use
to communicate with employers, voice mail can influence
the way recruiters and hiring
managers perceive you. A professional home message suggests
you’re a professional, organized person. And that’s
exactly the kind of person companies want to hire.
