I need help calling this lady about possibly getting a job?

Question

I got her phone number from a family friend, The friend talked to this one guy who knows her and he said to call her and talk to her about getting a job, i was told that she is expecting me to call. I called 5 times but the answering machine picks up saying that it is her office and leave a message.

My question is: Do you think that following sounds okay or if you could help me come up with something better?

" Hello my name is -------- and i got this phone number from Tim, who told me to call you and talk to you about possibly getting a job, if you could call me back at 65484884, i'm home all day and you can call anytime"

Answer 1

sounds good practice it and make it sound casual

Answer 2

What you have wrote sounds okay.  You can also say, "Hello my name is ------> I am looking for employment.  I was given your name and telephone number from a friend who told me you are looking to hire some help.  Please contact me at 555 555 5555.  Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you.

Answer 5

" Hello, this is_______, I was calling in reguards to the ____ position.

My contact info is______, again my name is _______ and that number is _________.

Good luck!!!

remember to bring your resume to the interview and if you can look up the history of the hotel have three really good goal questions for the interviewer and also make a business plan, like what you would like to contribute to the job, in like 48 hours after the interview mail her a thank you ofor the oppertunity card !  

Answer 6

yeah it sounds fine. Just do it. It's better to get it over with sooner than later.
