What skills do you need to master when making job calls?

In recruitment activities, the first communication between HR and candidates is often over the phone! Next, I compiled relevant content on the skills you need to master when making job calls. I hope you will like the article!

1. The timing of the phone call.

Generally speaking, telephone job hunting should be used when you know the unit well, such as the unit you have interned with, the unit you have sent your resume to, or the unit you have contacted. Such units know themselves better and can easily grasp more information, especially information from the personnel department, and can also find more topics to communicate on. The appropriate time to make a call is generally between 9 and 10 a.m. (usually no calls are made on Mondays). It is best not to call right after work, but to give the other party a time to arrange work. It is also not advisable to make phone calls after 4 p.m.

2. Honorific titles and polite terms.

The first thing you do after the call is connected is to politely greet "Hello, teacher." "Teacher" is used as a broad title and does not necessarily refer to teachers in schools. This title is suitable for first-time phone calls to show respect for the recipient without knowing the identity of the recipient. But when you learn the other party's position, identity, and surname, you should change the name to the other party's position, such as XX director, etc.

3. The call time should not be too long.

Pay attention to controlling the call time between both parties, especially the time for self-introduction, and strive to clearly introduce your situation to the employer within 2 minutes.

4. Be prepared before making a phone call.

Try to collect and understand the basic situation of the employer, have an objective and fair understanding of yourself, and comprehensively consider the content of the conversation based on the needs of the employer and your own characteristics.

5. Close the distance with the employer.

For example, "I am a fresh graduate of such-and-such school, and I heard that our unit needs a graduate of such-and-such major" is very representative, with a small "we" character. To close the distance between each other, of course similar techniques must be used flexibly according to the actual situation. But if a senior brother or sister introduces you to apply for a job in their unit, it is best to find out in advance the relationship between the senior brother and senior sister and the person you are contacting by phone. If the two are unfamiliar or even conflicting, it is best not to express your relationship with the senior brother or sister in front of the other person. If you have particularly good relationships, the best solution is general alumni relationships.
