Job Seeker
"Good afternoon, may I speak to Mr. Jones please?"
Receptionist
"May I tell him who's calling?
Job Seeker
"My name is Deana Goss and I am following up regarding the sales/customer service position. I submitted my résumé to Mr. Jones last week."
Receptionist
"Just one moment please. I will see if he is available to take your call."
Job Seeker
"Thank you."
Receptionist
"I am sorry Ms. Goss but Mr. Jones cannot come to the phone at the moment, but he did ask me to pass along the message that he did receive your résumé and he is planning to set up interviews at the beginning of next week. If you are chosen for an interview, you should hear from us before Friday. Was there anything else I could help you with at this point?"
Job Seeker
"No, that is great information to know, thank you. If I don't hear from you by Friday should I assume that I wasn't selected for an interview?"
Receptionist
"Yes I would think so, however if you wanted to call back later in the afternoon on Friday, I could let you know if anything has changed."
Job Seeker
"That would be great. Can I have your name?"
Receptionist
"My name is Amanda"
Job Seeker
"Thank you for all your help Amanda, I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me. Good bye."
