I got a call some hrs ago from an unknown number, I picked the call and said " yea, wus dis". The caller then said " you don't even know who is calling and you answered the phone like that" I was like who the heck is this, until I hear "my name is ......from ...... Company. I'm calling as regardz your CV you sent to our email". Hearing that, I had to quickly in a loud voice say " Good afternoon sir". The man was nice enough to continue the conversation and at the long run, he said " We ll call you later to tell you when to come for the interview.

I was lucky he listned to me for 6mins but will I be lucky to be employed.

Please, all job seekers should learn to answer their phone calls properly as you do not know which call is the one to achieving your dream.

I will sure keep you guys updated if I'm called or not.

Sir, this is not only about job seekers but the normal thing a gentleman suppose to exhibit...
I'm humbly sorry to say this, if you like you can lay your hands on this book that portray how a gentleman behaves...
Many things we do here in this part of the world are just too awful.

Interview or no interview, phoning has a courtesy...

That's absolutely true my brother

Prominent among ladies.

Once they pick a call from an unknown number especially if it's a male voice that was on the other end, the first pronunciation is "YES" or "WHO IS THIS"

in a very unwelcoming tone.


No disses intended.

Hmmmn

Thats good

Noted.

very important courtesy

Well, saying Who is this isn't totally rude. It all depends on the tune.

Oooookkkkk

OP....

Pray, make dem no use ur head.
Just pray its for real... Cos many tins are happening

Seriously the manner some people answer their calls could be annoying.

Most of my friends call me customer service cous the way I answer the phones in the office is the same way I answer calls from unknown callers on my personal line..

OP, u were lucky the man was patient but u must be ready to impress him on ur interview day.

Wish u all the best..

Truth.

It's doesn't end @ picking callz alone.

Some people are just naturally rude no matter d circumstance, and it might take them a long time to realize d need for change.
But before then, they keep missing good opporunities

true

.

job seekers

well

National association of space bookers all right above me.....

As for the topic, when I pick up my phone, even if I hear a child's voice on the other end, I always have a convo as polite as I can be except when the person is beginning to piss me off.... even if I had a fight with someone yesterday and the person calls today, I always am as polite as possible. Rudeness in any form is a very bad habit.

Thank God I don't smoke, my voice is calm like a customer care representative
