Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!
Many a joke has been made about the phone.....innuendos abound....it can be the prelude to many great things...or....it can be like taking a cold shower!
Here's how it goes...the resume reader likes what they read...forwards it on to the hiring manager...the green light is pushed and a preliminary phone screen is requested...
Nowadays, people claim they can tell a person's intention in the "tone" of a font...magnify that 110x to the inflection in a voice....
A phone screen is an audition for an" interview"
Do find a quiet space
Don't use your mobile phone (if possible)
Don't do an on the spot...impromptu phone call
Do arrange a mutually convenient time...even if you aren't busy when they call...you need to prepare....just as you would for any professional conversation...
Do stay on topic...the phone is tricky and can cause you to let your guard down!
Remember these ABC's......always be concise!
Hope to "see" you someday on the phone..
Your Employment Yenta...(Just call me "T")
