Bite the bullet

Leave a message or send an email

We sometimes can’t answer the phone because we are writing or on another call.

When people call and don’t leave a message – sometimes the same person calls three times a day without leaving a message – we won’t call them back.

If a prospective client can’t state their name and what they want in a short message, we know there’s a high chance they won’t reply to our email questions.

We also get hit by spammers almost every day. We’re hardly going to call them.

It may be a generational thing but I think it’s unprofessional and weird.

We’ve got people who are so desperate to get a job, they’d kill.

Others call and want us to write their resume today. Huh? I’ve got a waiting list stretching in to next week.

The job market is a gladatorial contest.

The applicant with the best resume and the strongest motivation wins.

Leave a message or email us and we’ll get back to you in a few hours.
