Hey Tim!

Great talking with you (by phone) earlier in the year. I think you make a terrific point – a phone call probably is worth at least 10 emails – maybe more!

Ciao!
Meg

While I love email and Twitter and, of course, blogging, nothing beats a phone call to get a really good exchange going. Little is lost in translation and an opportunity to truly connect presents itself. In fact a phone call is so productive, that I’ll bet a phone call is worth at least 10 e-mails! Great post for job seekers and anyone looking to build a network!

Loved talking to you a few months back!

I appreciate your comment, Tom.

Because taking the time to make a phone call, or arranging to meet in person, is so rare, the very fact that someone takes the initiate will make her or him memorable.

Best,
Meg

Thanks for the reminder/re-enforcement… it is too easy to fall into the trap of the ease of electronic communication. As a job seeker and in speaking with other job seekers, the most common complaint voiced is the “Black hole” of today’s job search process and the seeming lack of human involvement.. I know results will be better or at least the communication is better when instead of hitting the “Apply Here” button, the application is preceeded by a phone call or heaven forbid a visit. The same is true when networking for contacts or opportunities… it’s a lot easier to ignore a Linkedin update or an email than a ph. call of a face to face mtg.

Thanks for visiting and commenting, Animal.

I’m not sure that people always spend that much time thinking before they publish posts and tweets, but online response is somewhat less spontaneous than verbal discourse, so it may result in more thoughtful exchanges. However, virtual communication doesn’t come close to the emotional connection we feel from the nuance of real-life conversation.

Ciao!
Meg

But the average person is not a good conversationalist and, online, the time he has to think before being obligated to communicate improves the quality of the exchange
