Job Interview Questions: What to say when cold calling a hiring manager for a job interview?

I was told by some people that after submitting a resume and application for a position that you should call up the hiring manager, or whoever else is in charge or applications, and as them if you could come in for an interview. But I don't know how to go about doing something like that over the phone, can someone give me some advice on what to say when I call? If I can get a sense of what to say I think I can make a good impression.

What To Wear On A Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
call & ask to speak to the manager. make sure you greet whoever answers the phone & sound very professional. ask them how they are doing before you ask to speak to the manager, so they can put in a good word incase the manager asks. once the manager picks up, greet them as well. introduce yourself & tell them you are calling to follow up on a resume/application you submitted on [date you submitted] the conversation should go from there. if they arent in, leave a message with your name & number ofcourse. but either way, try callin back again. hope this helps!

Job Interview Skills - 9 Things You Should Never Do in an Interview

• My advice is this: don't call. If they're interested, they will call you and extend an offer for an interview. They have a job they are trying to do, and cannot take away from their time to constantly answer the phone for candidates who want an interview.
  
  Be patient and just keep applying in the meantime. Good luck.


• if they to interview you, they will call you - for any actual job openings, they will only interview the top 2-4 applicants - even if there were 100 applications
  
  if there is NO current openings, then they are not going to interview anyone
