Why are employers using these job application via telephone things? I think these are preposterous! I don’t see how a voice mail job application can save time or money. IMO, it only complicates things. Our local Walmart uses this system and I think it is STUPID. I would prefer to write out an application and hand it over with my resume anytime than these voice mail “doo-hickeys.” This is one instance where I feel this type of technology does not belong. I would believe that the voice mail system would leave out essential information of the applicant, as well as be MORE time consuming for the employer to review than a hard copy app. Whoever started this idea oughtta be hung. What’s the straight dope on this?
Perhaps they’re using it to weed folks like you out :wally
Actually, I’m sure that this is just a time-saving device. If you can’t present yourself well on the phone, how are you planning on changing that “appearance” in person?
Like telemrketing, though it’s aggravating, it can be surprisingly effective.
