How to Call a Company and Inquire Job Vacancies

Find Next Opportunity

When calling a company to inquire about job vacancies and the HR email address, you should be professional, polite, and direct. Here’s how you can approach the call:

Step-by-Step Approach

1. Introduction

Once the call is answered, greet the person politely and introduce yourself:
“Good [morning/afternoon], my name is [Your Name], and I am calling to inquire about job opportunities at [Company Name]. Could you please guide me to the right person to speak with?”

2. Inquire About Job Vacancies

If they transfer you to HR or someone responsible for hiring, ask:
“I am looking for job opportunities in [your field, e.g., accounting, customer service]. Could you please let me know if there are any current openings that match my profile?”

If they don’t transfer you but instead ask how they can help, say:
“I would like to check if there are any job vacancies in your company and where I can send my CV for future opportunities.”

3. Request the HR Email Address

If they mention job openings, you can ask:
“Thank you for the information. May I have the HR email address so I can send my CV for consideration?”

If they say there are no openings, respond politely:
“I understand. If possible, could you please share the HR email address so I can send my CV for future opportunities?”

4. Closing the Call

Regardless of the outcome, always remain polite:
“Thank you for your time and assistance. I really appreciate it. Have a great day!”

Additional Tips

Speak clearly and confidently.

Keep the call short and professional.

If they don’t provide an email, ask if there’s a job portal or LinkedIn page where they post vacancies.

If they refuse to share the HR email, ask if you can drop off your CV at the office.
