 CALLING AN EMPLOYER

It may be a little awkward at first but with practice, it will get easier.  Most employers will be happy to share information and try to help you out if they can. 

Steps for calling an employer to see if they are hiring:

  1. Ask to speak to the manager

  2. Introduce yourself.  Describe three of your strengths that fit the business.  Ask if there are any job openings for someone with your strengths.

  3. If yes, ask if you can set up an interview or stop by to fill out an application. 

  4. If No, ask if it would be possible to fill an application out in case there were any future openings.

  5. Thank the person by name

  6. Make notes on your list as to what the results were.
