| Cell phone use in your
job search |
| A telephone conversation
is a private conversation between the parties to the phone call. Unfortunately,
cell phone use has led many people to conduct phone conversations
as a form of public performance. This is annoying and discourteous
to others and to the person to whom you are ostensibly speaking by
phone. |

| Some cell phone issues
related to your job search: |
| |
Should you list a cell
phone number for employers?
Yes, if it's a reliable place to receive your calls and messages.
But DON'T answer it if you are not in an environment appropriate to
receive business calls (noisy surroundings, competing conversations
from others, etc.). |
| |
Answering cell phone
calls:
Under no circumstances should you interrupt a conversation with an
employer — interview or other — to receive a cell phone
call.
This is one of the worst etiquette breaches you can commit. |
