It seems in today's world, everyone has a cell phone. Which is great! I can now get in touch with anyone anytime I want wherever I want. That is the theory at least. The truth is that whenever I call someone....
No one answers.
I feel as though fewer people are answering their phones even though they seem to be attached to them at all times. Why this is the case, I'm not sure. I have gotten the chance to listen to some pretty interesting voice mail prompts though.
Those prompts where you lead someone on like you're actually talking are funny to your friends, but if you are expecting and interviewer to call you back, or have any chance at all that a professional may dial your number, you may want to make it sound a bit more professional. I have heard numerous times when an executive was calling a new hire to offer a job, and after hearing the childish voice mail prompt retracted his offer.
Word to the wise... Change your voice mail message to something sounding more professional. You will not have to worry when someone important calls you, and you will sound more mature to everyone else.
