Answering Machine Messages

Yesterday I mentioned the importance of having an email name that sounds professional. My suggestion is the same for voice mail. Keep your message brief and businesslike. In addition, you might consider eliminating music. I find that even soft and soothing music can be annoying when you are trying to reach someone.

In addition, please discourage young children from answering the phone when you are waiting for a possible call from a scholarship committee member. If it is difficult to reach you, they may just move on to the next qualified candidate.
