After you send out your resume, be prepared for employers to call you. Keep a calendar, a pad of paper and a pen by the phone so you can jot down notes and schedule an interview. Even if you don’t talk for long, you will leave an impression. Do your best to sound confident and professional.
Before you send out your resume, make sure you have a simple and polite message on the answering machine. Annoying music or a long message will make you seem unprofessional to employers who call.
