Create a “script” of what you want to say. Writing out what you want say takes away some of the unknown, and makes you feel more confident you’ll be able to remember and clearly convey what you hope to get across during the call.
Write out your “opening” word for word, as this can be the hardest part of the call; once you’re over that threshold, you’ll often feel less nervous. In your opening you want to convey who you are, where you’re calling from, and/or what you are calling about. For example:
“Hi, my name is Jared Smith and I submitted an application for your job opening last week. I was wondering if you’ve had a chance to review it yet?”
