Importance of Voicemail Setup
- Set up your voicemail if you're living or working in an English-speaking country to not miss opportunities.
- Without voicemail, people like hiring managers or clients won't call back, leading to lost chances.
Voicemail Structure and Phrases
- Structure your voicemail into four parts: greeting, unavailability, instructions, and polite closing.
- Use standard phrases like "Hi, this is...", "I can't come to the phone right now", and "Please leave a message."
Professional Voicemail Tips
- For professional voicemail messages, say "You've reached the phone/desk of [Your Name]" for formality.
- Include an alternate contact for emergencies and end with a polite phrase like "Have a great day."
