Speaking Of Interruptions, No Phone Calls

“I had an interview a week ago, when should I call to follow up?” is the question of the day at On Careers.

HR expert Susan Lucas, AKA Evil HR Lady, says never. Use e-mail.

We get the “no phone calls please” thing in a job ad…but no phone calls after an interview? Why?

Phone calls for quick questions take up an inordinate amount of time. First, if you miss the phone call you have to listen to the voice mail.
