One sure way to get rejected in a job application is to greet recruiters with a ridiculous voice mail message, or better yet, no voicemail at all. If you were serious about the job you would replace your intergalactic voicemail with an upbeat and professional greeting. Your quirky voice mail message may be all fun and games between friends and family, but when looking for a job, you are wasting the recruiter’s time - one sure way to land in the ‘NO’ pile. Remember, you haven’t got the job yet!
