Being of the older generation I am “comfortable” with voice mail. I now this is indicative of us 40 year old coots how? Because Penelope was kind enough to tell me and a room of similarly dated professional this at a recent Recruiters conference in New Orleans. So, yes she’s right that leaving a voice mail indicates we’re of a certain generation but in my profession (Headhunter) voice mail has value. How you ask?
Voice Mail allows me to convey tonal inflection and impart energy and enthusiasm which last time I checked, IM, My Space or even the soon to be old persons form of communication…email does not. For a Recruiter seeking to stimulate, articulate and then call to action, voice mail is a valuable tool when used in concert with the more Gen Y and X modes.
Wondering how long it will take Dan to figure out that I’m not Penelope Trunk, and that posting comments on my blog is not an effective means of communicating with her.
Speaking of old coots who are unfamiliar with modern technology…

Dear Penelope,
