Dial ‘C’ For Communications

Synopsis
The telephone is a vital part of any job search campaign: whether it’s for responding to advertisements, researching jobs and employers, speaking to recruitment agencies and other contacts or - perhaps most importantly - phoning companies "on spec" or "cold calling". Through a dramatised situation the video shows how to create a good impression on the phone by: planning the call, overcoming nerves; getting past secretaries and receptionists; paying attention to your telephone manner and voice; following up the call.
The video is accompanied by a comprehensive "Training Notes" booklet.
