Please check the number and dial it again

Everyday I source and screen applicants for interviews.
I get frustrated when I saw a resume, the qualifications are there yet
when I try to call the person, the mobile phone's not active anymore.
The landline's incorrect.


I think aside from the skills and experiences you have and will gain.
The first step in getting a job is how you would be contacted.

Contact Details should be active and for long term use.
For fresh grads, the moment you start giving resumes make sure your # would be long-term. It's like a tag already.


Companies you have submitted your resumes may not contact you now but in the future they might.
If you can't choose what number to put in your resume, then just put ALL of your numbers.
If you have a landline, better.
(Check if you have typed it right.)


If you're active on-line, add your email too.
It has been mentioned that in getting a job, you're like SELLING your skills and qualifications.
And in selling, there's what we call AVAILABILITY.
Your contact details serves that purpose.


Also if you have other addresses (temporary, permanent, provincial), add those details too.
For recruiters like me, it can help to decide where the candidate can be assigned.
And being mobile in terms of location is a plus.
It shows you can be independent and flexible.

I think I've had just too much wrong #s, can't be reach, not in service and other
related messages for this week.
