Phone Call with an Employer

FOUND AN INTERESTING JOB OFFER?

Don't wait for someone else to respond to it first,

TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND PICK UP THE PHONE, CALL THE EMPLOYER!

When calling the employer, you can find out if the job offer you found is still valid, inquire about job details or the recruitment process. However, remember that the main goal of the phone conversation is to arrange an in-person meeting to discuss the job, a "face to face" meeting where you can present yourself.

BEFORE YOU CALL THE EMPLOYER:

Take notes from the job posting:

  • Job position you're interested in
  • Company name
  • Name and position of the contact person
  • Required qualifications

Prepare a pen and paper to jot down obtained information (such as the date and time of the interview, a list of required documents).

Also, have your calendar ready so you can quickly respond about potential interview dates.

Think and write down the questions you want to ask. Talking to an employer can be stressful, and you might forget what you wanted to inquire about.

Have your CV at hand. It will help you give clear and precise answers to the questions asked by the employer.

Also, consider why you're interested in this particular job.

Choose a quiet place where no one will disturb you.
