You speak to a person who doesn’t’ know about you anything at all. Moreover, he does not even know the aim of your call. Even if the firm announced the vacancy it does not mean that besides the candidates no one else can call for it. So it would be useful if you introduce yourself and announce the aim of your call. Make pauses so that the person on the other side managed ‘’to digest’’ the information. After hearing the ‘’yes-yes’’ expression you can tell your pre-prepared speech.
You tell briefly why you should be invited to the interview. It is your mini-audio-resume, a few words about your education and your achievements in professional activity. Usually, managers are not inclined to find out the details on the phone, that is why you are being invited to the office. If the manager is slow-witted, ask yourself whether it is possible to go for an interview. And didn’t you forget to say ‘’hallo’’? As Cervantes said,’’ Nothing is valued so expensively and costs as cheaply as courtesy. And for the provided service you can thank to your future colleague as he has been listening to you attentively.
