Cell Phone Etiquette During the Job Search

[Feedback Ratings:]

Recruiters continue to talk about the poor cell phone habits that job seekers display during the job search.  Remember that in a successful job search a good first impression is really important.   Your cell phone etiquette can really affect that first impression.  Here are some tips to stay professional:

1. You can't answer your phone every time it rings, especially when speaking with a recruiter or in a job interview.  Expect that your resume will go to the bottom of the pile if not directly to the trash can.

2. Using your phone to send text messages or take notes during the interview is also a no-no! 

3. If you schedule a telephone interview and plan to use your cell phone, make sure you are in a quiet location to take the call, not in line at the supermarket, at the shopping mall or at the stadium watching a football game. 

4. Do not put the interviewer on speaker phone without asking their permission.  Also let them know if anyone else is in the room.   

5. Turn off your cell phone once you arrive at the employer's place of business since everyone you meet is watching your performance.  The "private" conversation you think you are having in front of a receptionist or security staff could get back to the manager.
