Opening lines • Rehearse your opening lines before you call. • Here’s what to do: • introduce yourself • tell them why you are contacting them • tell them about the skills that you have that relate to the job • ask if you can send them your résumé • arrange a follow-up contact
Try again later • If the person you want to speak to is unavailable, call back later and ask for them by their name and department, e.g. • ‘Can I please speak to Jo Allen in the IT department?’
If there are no jobs now • Ask if you can send your résumé and call again in a few weeks. Send your résumé and a cover letter and make sure that you call again later and ask for an interview • Ask for information on what the company looks for in new employees: ‘I know you don’t have any vacancies now, but what skills are you looking for when you recruit?’
If there are no jobs now • Ask for a referral or other leads: ‘Do you know of another company looking for someone with my skills?’ If you are given a company name, ask for a name and phone number so you can contact them.
