Phone – Could be a landline, could be mobile, could be a message phone

Don’t make the mistake of requiring a phone as your number 1 or 2 method of contact. First should be via email, second should be with a phone call.

We’re really excited to get to the future where the phone can be used as a key to information, but we have to slow down and make sure that we can afford to get there. As many phone plans are over $50, someone out of work looking for a job may opt to cancel the phone coverage to pay for food, hygiene, or hobbies.

Stop making the phone mistake. Use email until 3 weeks after they get the job and always require a mobile phone after the first paycheck if it is essential to the job. It is the employers responsibility to pay the mobile bill if essential to the job.
