If youâre actively looking for a telecommuting gig, or youâre a small business owner looking to project a polished, professional image, do yourself a favor and call the number youâre giving out and listen to your voicemail greeting or, heaven forbid, see how your phone is answered by whatever family member happens to pick up the ringing phone. Are you impressed, or embarrassed? Was it useful, or was it a colossal waste of your time? Could you understand every word clearly, or did it sound like you were in a tent in the middle of a monsoon? Is the information you provided recent, or was it dreadfully out of date? Did it sound like someone you want to work with or hire? Or not?

As in the situation above, a full mailbox can be really frustrating for an employer who is trying to get in touch with you. Set aside time at least once a week to make sure you clean out your voicemail. You want to be as accessible as possible for potential employers. Iâve called a few job seekers lately to help with their search and have gotten this message, âWeâre sorry. The person you are trying to reach has not yet set up their voicemail system. Please try again later.â This makes you look a little lazy and can frustrate the hiring managers. As soon as you get a new phone, make sure you make it a priority to get your voicemail up and running. Definitely make sure you have it set up before you start sending out job applications. I understand this could slip your mind, but itâs important that you do everything you can to show the hiring manager that you are reliable and reachable.
8. Hello, youâve reached [your name], [your job title] at [your company]. Iâm sorry for missing your call, but if you leave a message that includes your name and contact information, Iâll get in touch as soon as I can.
And youâre done! Your CenturyLink voicemail is now set up. Whenever you have an unheard message, you'll hear a stuttered dial tone when you pick up your home phone. Take a few minutes to gather your thoughts, even jot down a few notes, and practice before you record. Before you start recording, turn off anything in the background that might cause noise. This will ensure your voice is clear and easy to understand. While clever greetings can be fun, it's worth taking a moment to think about the range of potential callers who may be leaving you voicemail. Consider the tone and image you want to project. Don't worry! If you don't like your recording, you can erase it and re-record as many times as you'd like.
"Hello, you've reached [name] at [company]. I'm unable to come to the phone right now. Leave your name and number, and I'll return your call as soon as I'm free. Thank you."

Your message should sound inviting and happy, so the person leaving the message doesnât get scared off.
