可能在许多在国外尝试求职的人都会忽略一点，那就是开通留言信箱以及设置留言信箱的greetings。如果HR打给你，而你刚好在上课，在开会，无法接对方电话，而留言信箱又没有设置好，那么，你很可能就丧失了一次面试的机会 —— 因为，连最基本的留言信箱都没设置好，真的给人感觉很不专业，难以让人信赖。
所以，如果你在求职中，请你尽快通过你的电话服务商，开通留言信箱，并设置一个专业的voicemail greeting吧！
专业且不失礼貌的Greeting，可以通过三个部分完成：
1. 打个招呼，介绍自己 —— 一定要说出你的名字！
Hi. This is xxx. / Hello. You have reached xxx.
如果你已经工作了，有一个职位，那么在设置工作电话的voicemail greeting时，请报上你的部门以及公司名：
比如：Hi. This is xxx, working at the Accounting Department at xxx Company.
2. 为无法接电话而致歉
可以说： ***Sorry, I cannot take your call right now / at the moment. ***
或者 Unfortunately, I can't answer the phone right now.
3. 请求对方留下信息（敲黑板！礼貌是关键，记得要用please/could/would）
If you would like, please leave me a message after the tone. I will return your call as soon as I can. Thanks for your call.
或者***Could you please leave your message with your name and your phone number after the tone? I will return your call as soon as possible. Thank you.
学会以上三个部分怎么说，然后使用乾坤大挪移，每个部分挑选一句，就能组成一段完整的voicemail greeting喇：
Hi. This is David. Sorry, I cannot take your call at the moment. If you would like, please leave me a message after the tone. I will return your call as soon as possible. Thank you.
是不是超级简单？
但是，你以为这样写好一段然后照着读就算完了吗？ 当然不是！
Voicemail greeting是你留个HR的一种听觉印象。所以，请你在正式设置greeting之前反复练习，把句子说通顺，并且用一个自然亲切，停顿自然的语调说出来，然后录音，回放，录音，回放，录音，回放......知道你被自己的语音留言迷到为止！
最后，分享一下隔壁老王自以为“酷炫神迷”的greetings，你怎么看？呵呵，要是你也这么设置，恐怕从此列入HR的黑名单...

Hi. This is Old Wong. Leave me a message! (也太没礼貌了吧？！)

Hi. You've reached Old Wong. How have you been? I've been pretty good. I have been very busy with my job these days, but I will still check my voicemail regularly. If you would like to leave me a message, please do that after the tone, and I will return your call as soon as possible. Oh, wait, you would like to have a long chat with me? Great, I'd love to do that at night. Oh, by the way, you could find me at the RoyalPark Company from 9am to 5pm, as I work there five days per week. I usually go there from 2pm to 5pm on Friday. See you soon! (......老王，请问您的重点是？)

{Background music and noise}Hi. This is Old Wong. Do you wanna rock? I am at a Rock and Roll concert. Sorry, I cannot hear your call. I will return your call once the show is over, but the legend will never end. Let's meet the King of Rock! (好吧，老王，你是应聘摇滚歌手吗？！)
千万别忽视一个小小的留言信箱，它可以带来很大的改变哦！
