Using Voicemail to Make a Great First Impression with RecruitersWritten by Scott Brown

* Always know your employer. Find out about company you’re applying for so you can communicate to them how compatible you are as a candidate. * Practice what you’re going to say. You don’t want to sound like you’re reading a script, but more prepared you are, more confident you will sound. Not to mention, if you’re prepared to leave a message and you get a person instead, your delivery will be that much better. Whatever you do, don’t let an answering machine or voicemail scare you. You may be eager to get ball rolling, but don’t think of it as a blockade. Instead, consider yourself lucky. If you don’t get a “live” person, you’ll have more time to prepare what you want to say. This will give you time to get all your thoughts in order and make little or no mistakes.
