Why You Might Want To Call First
Calling sometimes alleviates the time that might be spent wasted on potential companies that have no intention of hiring anyone at the present time. In just one simple phone call, you soon will find out how one 5 minute (or less) call can answer such important questions as:
Is there a job opening in the department?
Do you qualify for it?
Could you schedule an interview or get two referrals to other employers?
Tip: If you call and get the voicemail, Do Not leave a message. Your goal should always be to speak to someone directly at all times in this process.
