A little heads up/professional tip for you

**third_shift|studios** · 03-03-2008, 10:14 AM

If anyone here is going to be graduating soon, or is currently seeking employment, do yourself a favor and create a proper, professional outgoing message for your voicemail.

I just called a girl to come in for an interview, and now I've allready created a bad impression of her due to her outgoing message.

I keep saying I will. But then everyone laughs at my current one and makes it tough to change it

Absolutely right on the mark, one of my students has a voice mail message that makes me want to hang up on every time I hear it. Keep it short, simple, and professional, you never know when or who will be calling and leaving you a message.

What did her outgoing message say, exactly?

**third_shift|studios** · 03-03-2008, 10:33 AM

"hey ya'll...leave me a note and I'll holla back lata"

I'll just add, that I contacted her college 1st, and they HIGHLY recommended her.

I thought funny/stupid voicemail messages died out in High School? Wow.....

**Kjz99z28** · 03-03-2008, 11:10 AM

I also hate those damn "ringback tones." I'd also love to hear what employers think when they call you and some song starts blaring in their ears.

**SiggyZ** · 03-03-2008, 11:10 AM

**redls1** · 03-03-2008, 11:11 AM

Or when you call and have to listen to their stupid favorite song while we connect you to that party bullshit.

**LS1Powerhouse** · 03-03-2008, 11:14 AM

Although a song might play to your advantage if the employer likes the song.

shes an idiot!! I changed mine to a formal one once I got out of high school. Like TSS said it makes you look like an idiot right from the start. My voicemail used to not even say my name - it just played about 10 seconds of the warrant song "cherry pie"

Dude.. That was my ringback tone for the longest time! fuckin right!

Yes I have ringback tones.. But they're not "I FUCK A BITCH IN THE ASS, BUST ON HER FACE, THEN GRILL ME SOME MOTHER FUCKIN CHICKEN, HOE!"

being that her college vouched so heavily for her-I will atleast grant her the interview-but if her OGM is any indication of her interpersonal skills...

Just you wait buddy. Your time will come then you'll have to listen to whipper snappers complain about everybody around them being "old".

sounds pretty judgemental to me? i know what your point is, but that message didnt seem too bad. If I made snap judgements on like 3/4 of the people that are in my cellphone based on their voicemail, i'd think everyone is an idiot and some of them are really smart people.
