Stop Leaving So Many Voicemail Messages
One thing I have learned in the last few months is this. Stop leaving so many voicemail messages.
We hope by leaving them that a prospective customer will call us back when they get a chance, but they rarely do. There are some that have a personality that they return all calls and all messages. But so many, for one reason or another don't. This also applies to email messages too.
Sometimes you might leave one message initially to get the ball rolling. Perhaps you are calling the wrong person and they forward the message to the appropriate party.
But when trying to land a job, don't keep leaving messages. It is far more effective to keep calling, when you get the person on the phone (this requires some patience) they will usually feel like they need to make a decision, and often will make it on the phone. Or they might tell you to call back in a week (call back!). It might takes repeated efforts but some of your efforts will pay off. So be persistant. However, leaving messages will not lead to the same success.
Some other people are worse, and you need to see them in person. Be concious though to do this at a time that you are in the area, and are not needlessly wasting time or gas.

I have found this logic to be quite true. Either way, I still do leave a voice mail every time i do call. But the persistence is still key.
WCLP - true. I still leave voicemail messages to be honest. But the odds getting a call back are low. It's still worth it if you call a whole bunch of people but you still have to keep calling til you get someone.
