Start by making bullet points to cover the main things you want to say. Include the phrases you plan to use to introduce yourself, some information about your experience, and the type of position you’re seeking. If you need to write a script, use words and expressions that reflect the way you really speak so you’ll sound natural.  Introduce yourself. Use your full name. For example: “Good morning, Ms. Smith. My name is John Doe.” Discuss your accomplishments if they’re pertinent to your inquiry. For example: “I am an experienced web designer and IT specialist with ten years experience, looking for new challenges.” Say why you’re calling. For example: “I would appreciate a minute of your time to ask about vacancies in your IT department.” In preparation for the call, list the questions you have about the company. For example, you might ask about the types of positions that are available in your field and the best ways to follow up with an application. Inquire about other information that the company might need from you.  Also think of questions you think you might be asked and prepare your answers for those questions. For example, you may be asked why you’re applying with them, where you heard about the company, when you’d be available to interview or start work, and what salary range you’re looking for. Sit down in a quiet place with your script and list of questions and practice making the call. Try different ways to phrase things so that what you’re saying sounds natural. Time yourself to see how long it takes and try to keep your main points under a minute.  Practice speaking clearly. Also practice smiling when you speak. This will help you sound more confident. Record yourself and listen to how you sound. Fix anything you don’t like about how you sound, like saying “um” a lot or speaking too quickly or in a monotone.
