Thoughtlessness abounds
I am pretty angry right now. As you know I am laid off. I have been sending my resume out and looking for work. I talk to everyone I know and have feelers out everywhere. I slept in this morning and didn't hear the phone when it rang. My daughter (the thoughtless one) did. She apparently didn't feel like seeing if I was home and just told the guy,"I don't think she is here" It was the company I REALLY want to get a job from. Oh, and she didn't bother to get a name or number either so I can't call back. I could have strangled her. She gave me some lame excuse and seriously I don't think she feels bad about it. Forever making excuses for her actions. I am seriously pissed at her. WHAT NERVE! She kept saying, I thought it was someone you didn't want to talk to (I've been getting lots of sales calls lately) Regardless, who does she think she is to screen my calls? She will pay for this one. I need to cool off.

Call the company and ask for the HR department. Tell them that you received an incomplete message and wanted to try to get in touch with the person who called. This stuff happens in companies all the time. It's OK for you to call the direct.
I once got a job by calling the company and asking for the hiring manager and then told him I was going to be in town the next Monday and would like to come talk to him. I found out later that he had received over 200 resumes and wasn't looking forward to going through them. He liked my initiative and hired me. There's absolutely nothing wrong with calling a company and telling them how much you are interested in the job and working for them.
Then slap your daughter. Just kidding about that one!
