I don’t know many millennials or younger who answer their cell phone. Most just let it roll to voice mail. If you want to talk to these folks why not just text them.
I mean, when I was hunting for intern level work. I was in classes during normal work hours and worked for the school after. I didn’t have the time to take a random call. Don’t even have to be millennial to miss his call and without a voice mail I assume it was a wrong number or something. This CEO is just showing how useless CEOs are.
I am a millennial and to be honest, I don’t really know how voice mail works or I deactivated it years ago. I don’t like calling very much, but if I get called I am sure it is something official and I usually answer it. Of course not if it is an international number. I very much prefer E-Mail, but I don’t think every millennial doesn’t phone. I don’t want to generalize for a whole group though, so it might be I am an exemption.
I’ve broken that habit. I get 6 calls a day telling me I’m pre-approved for some financial scam. I’ve tried blocking it, sending it through filters. Nothing has worked so far. They leave voicemails and now I don’t check that because it’s just 20 voicemails about a loan I don’t want.
yes of course let me deal with the spam problem someone else made my problem answering every fucking call that tries to scam me instead of letting the caller leave a voicemail if they’re legit.
We live in the 21st century. If they can’t make an appointment without interrupting my day, then they are not worthy of my time.
Sure, try calling, but if you can’t get a hold of a person and you are too self-centered to change communication to something less invasive, then you know the job is ran by selfish assholes.
What’s so funny? That’s exactly how it works. I’ve been interviewing with multiple places and every single one has started with an email exchange to determine when would be a good time to call that both parties can be available. At that point I know if someone is calling me at that time, it’s most likely a legit call. Some will even be nice enough to state what number the call will likely be coming from.

Do people even still set up voice mail these days? I had it turned off for years, I don’t want to listen to anyone’s voice mail.

As a millennial I avoid calling whenever I can, but I don’t hesitate to pick up if someone calls me.

If I don’t recognize the number I don’t answer.
Sounds like THEY are the problem.

Or just start picking up the phone when you are looking for a job?
Generally we schedule our interview calls here in the real world.
Generally you may be contacted by a phone when sending a cv and you should fucking pick up.

It is a basic check to eliminate awful companies.
Appointment to make a phone call? You are hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

If it’s important leave a voicemail and I’ll return the call. If no voicemail is left I assume it’s spam.
