Question

"I gave an employer 7 resumes of graduates to interview. He called to do a phone screen and schedule interviews. Guess how many interviews he scheduled? Zero. People didn’t answer their phone, their voicemail was full, had disconnected numbers (they didn’t update the CS resume), or had crazy music as their voicemail. Do you want to miss a job because of that? When someone says to me, 'but no one is calling me for an interview', this is the first thing I think of."
Reflection Question: After learning about the phone screen process, what do you need to do to prepare for your phone screens?

Answer 1

Answer:

Make sure you update your resume. Make sure you have a professional ringtone, email address, and voicemail. Clear voicemails to make sure you receive important messages. Return important messages within 24 hours or less. Be professional, be ready to answer questions, and have dates available that you could interview.
