Top 10 telephone tips for calling about a job

© Vitalij Geraskin | Dreamstime.com

Making calls can be one of the hardest things for any job seeker to do. For those who aren’t natural ‘phone people’, the mere thought of it can be enough to induce heart palpitations.
The telephone is often your first point of personal contact with a potential employer, so it’s important to make the interaction a good one. They will get an immediate impression from your telephone manner and tone of voice, and this could make the difference between getting a call back or not.
As easy as it is to send your resume by email without bothering to make a call, picking up the phone is always a good idea because it gives you a chance to establish a personal connection and shows an extra degree of initiative and confidence. It just gives that extra personal touch and will differentiate you from the other impersonal resumes they’ll be receiving. It will also give you a chance to get more information about the role and company. If you’re lucky, you might be able to establish a rapport with the hiring manager or interviewer over the phone – and that could land you a face-to-face interview.

1. Call as lead-in or follow-up

Job calls can be made either before you send your resume, to get more information and alert the person receiving the resumes that you’ll be sending yours through; or they can be made soon after sending your resume as a follow-up, to introduce yourself and confirm that they’ve received it.

2. Do your research before you call

Before you call, read the job ad carefully, do an Internet search on the company and visit their website to find out about its products and services, the company structure and culture, the industry and other pertinent information.

3. Write down what you want to say

It’s always a good idea to write down your key points and questions before you make the call. You don’t want to read them verbatim and sound stilted, but it will help if you have them on hand to ensure that you don’t miss anything important. Base your questions on the job description or on the information you have gleaned from your research. Having specific, well thought-out questions will impress them and show that you have read and researched with care.

Also have a copy of your resume on hand in case they ask specific questions about your background and experiences.

4. Set yourself up

Use a quiet, private room – you don’t want your call interrupted by screeching kids, mobile phones, music or passing traffic. Find somewhere quiet where you can focus and conduct a professional conversation.

If you can, use a landline because mobile phones can sometimes drop out or have poor reception.

It’s also important not to chew gum, eat or drink while talking, but have a glass of water on hand in case your mouth gets dry.

5. Practise your spiel

It’s always a good idea to practise what you’re going to say aloud before you make the call. You can play with different wording and practise until you feel comfortable and relaxed.

You want to convey confidence, enthusiasm and energy in your voice. It helps to actually smile while you’re talking, as it will make your voice sound brighter and warmer. Also breathe deeply to help you relax.

6. Don’t forget the niceties

Say hello, ask for the contact specified in the job ad, address him or her using Ms or Mr, politely state your name and explain that you are calling about the job opening. Always ask if it is a convenient time to talk first, because they may be in the middle of something. If they don’t have time to talk at the moment, ask when would be a more convenient time to call.

It’s important to not only tell them about yourself, but to listen attentively to everything they say. Jot down notes and ask questions using the information they give you. That will show that you’re on-the-ball and are a good listener.

At the end of your call, always thank the person for taking the time to talk to you.

Remember to be courteous and professional with everyone you have contact with, including the receptionist. If you've been rude, the boss is sure to hear about it.

If you have to leave a voice mail, clearly state your name and number, and the purpose of your call. It can help to repeat your phone number just in case.

7. Don’t waffle

When making a call, it’s important to be concise and not waste the other person’s time. Avoid waffling and using slang or fillers like ‘um’ and ‘ah’.

8. Keep a record

Keep a record of all the calls you make – note the date, who you spoke to and what you discussed.

9. Follow up

Always follow up calls with an email thanking the person you spoke to for taking the time to talk to you, and attach your resume and cover letter if you haven't already.

10. Tape yourself

As painful as it can be to listen to the sound of your own voice, taping yourself can be enlightening – you may not realise just how much you really do say ‘um’ and ‘like’. You may also be surprised to observe that you speak in an unfriendly-sounding monotone, and if that's the case you could work on brightening up your tone. The energy and warmth you convey in your voice will go a long way towards making a good impression. 

QUOTES ON EDUCATION BY GREAT PEOPLE FOR YOU<>

 

"Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs."

"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."

"Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty."

"Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value."

"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge."

"The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to important fields for society. Such a school demands from the teacher that he be a kind of artist in his province."

"To me the worst thing seems to be a school principally to work with methods of fear, force and artificial authority. Such treatment destroys the sound sentiments, the sincerity and the self-confidence of pupils and produces a subservient subject."

"One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community."

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as judge in the field of truth and knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods."

The example of great and pure individuals is the only thing that can lead us to noble thoughts and deeds.

"One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year."

"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."
"The only source of knowledge is experience."

"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift."

"We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality."

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvellous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity."

"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."

"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as judge in the field of truth and knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods."

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school."

“You can be very good at what you do, and it can be absolutely not the right career,” .
 your first job is very much important for your job carrier because it's affect positively either negatively your second series of the job.when you are going to join the job just ask the question to yourself : Does this job fit what I want my ideal workday to look like? Do I like the structure of a desk job, or do I want the flexibility to set my own hours?
 it’s important to reflect on your past, present and future goals to determine your values and priorities and to find the job that fits your lifesty


2. Make a stone of your MIND and maintaly prepared.

Many people loose their confidence and felling depressed , jealous because there friends got placed in various companies and they are still jobless.But every person have different capability and luck factor.so don't think about other people and try to increase your patience.
“A successful job search goes: ‘no, no, no, no, no, no, yes,’” .“You get lots of rejection  before you get a ‘yes,’ but you will get a ‘yes’ so stay in that positive state of mind even when you get a ‘no.’”

More than anything,  you have to take care of yourself to maintain your mental, physical and emotional health in the ups and downs of your job search.
Don’t devote all of your time to your search and allow disappointment to discourage you. When you’re feeling frustrated, take a day or even a week off and regroup.
“When it’s making you stressed out and you’re becoming negative about your search, that’s when it’s a problem, and you need to take a break,”

The Education after the Graduation

It pays to go to college in general – but how big a payoff you get can vary wildly depending on what you decide to major in.
A report released Wednesday finds that people who recently graduated from college with degrees in fields such as education and health faced much lower unemployment rates than those who recently graduated with degrees in fields including architecture and the arts.
The unemployment rate for people who had recently received an undergraduate education degree was 5.7 percent, according to the report, compared with 12.8 percent for the recent graduates of undergraduate architecture programs.
Your choice of major also is likely to have a lifelong impact on how much money you make, according to the report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. The median earnings for experienced workers with an undergraduate architecture degree was $65,000, the report found, compared with median earnings of $44,000 for experienced workers who earned an undergraduate education degree.
The report offers a reminder that while lots of young people will spend an inordinate amount of time deciding where to go to college, it’s perhaps more important to figure out your major once you get there.
“What your field of study is ends up being the most important thing,” said Anthony Carnevale, director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce and co-author of the report.
The Georgetown report used the government’s American Community Survey data from 2010 and 2011 for its analysis. For recent graduates, it looked at 22- to 26-year-olds who had bachelor’s degrees, and for more experienced college graduates it looked at 30- to 54-year-olds with college degrees.
In general, it’s a good idea to choose a major that teaches specific skills, such as nursing. But Carnevale cautions that doesn’t mean that everyone should choose practical majors like mathematics or engineering – especially if they just don’t like it.
“If they’re not interested or suited (to) the major that they choose – and ultimately, even more so, the job that they choose – they won’t be any good at it,” Carnevale said.
Chasing what seems like a hot field also can end up backfiring. For example, the researchers found that recent graduates who went into information systems faced a whopping 14.7 percent unemployment rate. That, in turn, pushed the overall unemployment rate for computer and mathematics majors up to 9.1 percent, even though in general those fields seem to be in great need to good workers.
Carnevale said the finding seemed to be a result of the tough job market for things like clerical and entry-level management jobs that involve computer systems, which were hard-hit during the recession and early recovery. But he noted that the unemployment rate for more experienced information systems grads was much lower, at 4.4 percent.
In the case of architecture, Carnevale said the effect of the housing and construction industry bust appeared to still be dragging on employment, although he noted that the job market for architects has often been tough.
If you do choose a major such as English literature or archeology, Carnevale said you need to be prepared to find other ways to train yourself for a specific career, or find an employer who is willing to train you. Many will also end up going to graduate school to get a more skills-oriented degree, such as law or business.
“It’s a tougher game,” Carnevale said.
Jonathan Salm, 22, knew it might be harder to get a job when he chose to major in English, with a minor in philosophy, at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Va.
But Salm, who graduated from college last week, said he also felt like part of the reason you go to a liberal arts university is to experience learning for the sake of learning.
The unemployment rate for recent graduates with English literature and language degrees was 9.8 percent, according to the Georgetown data, and median earnings were $31,000.
Salm has done some internships in marketing and communications and is hoping to get a job in New York City doing data analytics marketing. He said he’s turned down options that didn’t seem to be the right fit, and is willing to move back in with his parents in Florida for a little while until he can find the right position.
“I’m comfortable not getting a job right after graduation,” he said.
The Georgetown report found that the overall unemployment rate for recent college graduates was 7.9 percent.
That may seem high, but unemployment rates for people in their 20s are generally higher than for older workers, and other research has shown that it pays to go to college, despite the high tuition costs and soaring student loan debt.
A Pew Charitable Trusts report released earlier this year found that young college grads fared better than their less educated peers during the recession and recovery. In addition, a recent batch of U.S. Census Bureau data found that people with a college degree earned nearly twice as much as people with a high school degree in the last three months of 2011.
