Technology changes can be an asset for a job hunter. Make sure you are using technology to your benefit. Some of these suggestions may appear to be common sense. However, I have personally called 100"s of job candidates who make these mistakes.
Have a voice mail set up on every phone number you give out. I know the younger generation prefers text messages. When you're looking for work, adapt to potential employer's preferences. Landlines do not text even if the hiring manager wanted to oblige.
So what happens when an employer calls you and can not leave a message? They probably call the next candidate on their list.
Checking your voice mail message frequently is a must when looking to get hired. Promptly returning calls are important. Also, what happens if your voice mail is full and the recruiter can not leave a message? See above.
Finally make sure your voice mail greeting gives a good impression. We all have freedom of speech, but let's save the colorful greetings for after you are hired.
