Telephone Example for Jobseekers

Give your name: "Good morning, my name is Charlie Brown."
Ask for the name of the person responsible for the position you are interested in: "Could you tell me the name of the person looking after the job vacancy for a position of accounts clerk?"
Ask to speak to that person: "Could I speak to Mrs Pratt please?"
Greet the potential employer and give them your name: "Good morning Mrs Pratt. My name is Charlie Brown!"
Mention the job you are interested in and how you found out about it: "I am interested in applying for the accounts clerk’s job that was advertised in this morning’s newspaper."
Say what you have to offer the company: "I have two years experience working in accounts payable and I want to broaden my experience!"
If the job has already been filled, ask for other leads: "Would you know of any other company hiring staff at the moment?"
Ask for permission to use their name: "Do you know a contact person’s name there? Could you give me a telephone number, or an address?"; "Thank you, that’s very helpful. Would it be all right to say that you suggested I speak to them?"
