Phone call not answered?
I applied to a company a week ago. My application stated: "Available via email or phone at any time."
Today I saw that the company called me… 4 hours ago… Because I wasn't available on my cell phone at the time, I couldn't answer the call.
When I tried to call back I saw that they were already closed.
Is that a very bad impression? I'm a little ashamed…
Should I call them tomorrow morning? But what should I tell them now? That I haven't been reachable for four hours?
What would you have done?
No, that’s not a bad impression, you can’t always be achievable, that’s what companies know. So call again tomorrow morning and then say, “I saw that yesterday you tried to call me, but I couldn’t reach you any more yesterday” (so analogously)
I’d just call back and say you saw they called. You don’t have to explain, everyone’s showering or something like that and can’t go to the phone.
It’s not always possible. It shows you can turn off. That’s it.
You don’t have to explain anything and they’ll call again.
is it not a bad impression?
No man can be reached 24/7
If they don’t ask you, just don’t say anything. Something like: Good day, xxxx my name, they called yesterday….”
