Remember, you are not trying to cram your entire conversation into the voicemail, but rather, get the person to call you back to have that conversation. Your voicemail should answer the following questions: Who are you? / Where are you from? Why are you calling? How can they get in touch with you?
Sticking with our "Andy Applicant" example, if Andy had left Hannah Hiring Manager a voicemail of, “It’s me and I would like to talk to you.” She will not know who Andy is nor what Andy wants to talk about.
