here is an easy tip-
return phone calls! hey lets not forget we are recruiters and we still have to talk to people--many people are forgetting this basic concept. (thank you technology)
especially the candidate you worked with in the past--he/ she is now looking for a new gig-- they will remember you too the time to listen- future client- is what i say!
ok if you are really tied up at least acknowledge them thru an email- and do it in the 24 hour window - not next week!

Try using a screen saver that rotates through images of your current bills...

I usually stand too, but I never thought to turn off the monitor. A great tip as I am easily distracted into checking emails or what's up in the chat room at RBC...

So true Rayanne. I also sometimes stand up when I am calling to keep my energy up and I always turn off my monitor when I am on the phone so I don't get distracted.

Awesome idea to share!

No matter what, SMILE when you are on the phone... I guarantee they can hear it. And guess what? You will feel better at the end of the call, no matter what the outcome!
