Phones, how do they work?!

Today, a voicemail suddenly appeared in my messages. Last week I missed a call from an Unknown, no number was listed. Turns out they wanted to arrange an interview for a job I really wanted, they left a number in the voicemail telling me to call them back that day if I was interested. FML

This is why I HATE having to have data on to receive new voicemails.

If you reread the post, OP didn’t receive the voicemail until today. That happens sometimes, not getting a voicemail until a week or two later. Not really anything you can do about that.

If they went to the trouble to leave a voicemail and you didn't listen to it that's on you.

“It’s never happened to me therefore it must not be possible.” Yea, ok.

You do not have the same phone. You probably don’t even have the same carrier. So what you’ve experienced with YOUR phone is not relevant in the least.

Call them and if they are still interested they might interview you. Though I'm not sure I'd want to work for a place that would have their number show up as "unknown" on caller id...

YDI!!! It is YOUR OWN FAULT! If you have been looking for work...why did you not answer the phone. I never answer calls from numbers that I do not know, EXCEPT when looking for a job, then I answer every call that comes in because you never know what number a prospective job will call you from. You ignored the call, you ignored the voicemail. You have NO ONE to blame but yourself!

What if they COULDN'T answer the phone when they got it? Missing a call doesn't necessarily mean they just ignored it!

While I too ignore unknown numbers if they don't leave a message, I would make an exception if I were currently applying for jobs. Bit of a dumb move.
