I started using a Google Voice number for job applications and it’s been a game changer. Anyone else do this?

Why is it a game changer?

likefunny

I've been doing this for years. It's really helpful with ensuring I don't miss calls from potential employers since I use spam blocking/unknown caller silencing features on my main number. Whenever my Voice number rings, I know I need to pick it up. I still get some spam calls on it (must have applied to a scam job or had the number shared somewhere), but nowhere near as many as I do on my main line.

I do have one that I’ve been using for a while. It is easier for me to screen calls and ideally filter out the spam. Plus, I can just silence it when I am no longer job searching, whereas using my regular number will have constant, everyday calls of spam.

Game changer because less spam calls on my regular line

yeah what changed 😂😂

I haven't done it but i have heard people who have. This is actually a really good idea. I may have to give it a try.

I also use a second email that doesn’t have notifications turned on, so that only the most important emails go to my primary and I do get pinged for those

How is it a game changer ?

This was answered above: fewer spam calls on real #.

Thanks a lot.

Was approached by a SVP and hiring manager of another IB shop.

We talked, went great, he texted comp range etc. sent me a resume template to use, filled it and sent. He was waiting to hear back from MD, MD got sick.

He took resume to HR actual and said I’d hear from them. Haven’t heard anything week or so later.

Haven’t texted VP much as I don’t want to be creeper but really interested. Not sure how to engage at this point. At some level it seemed like a home run.
