  • Hi OP,

    I would just ring him, Say hi this is forever.insane calling I believe you left a message for me to call you back, chances are he will tell you the business name like, oh hi forever.insane it joe bloggs from joe bloggs ltd calling about the cv you sent us, or something to that effect. Don't worry so much just try to blag it.

    To be honest, I really can't see what the problem is in the first place and why it would matter if they were aware you had called other companies. In fact, if I were a potential employer, I would be impressed that you showed initiative and were obviously keen to work.

    Just ring him.

    You could blame Mum, and say she just left a note to call him, but she didn't say what it was about....?
    :rotfl: if one of mine blamed me, I'd probably call the guy and say "I'm sorry to bother you, you left a message for my daffy son yesterday and now he's asked me to phone and find out which company you're from."

    Which is probably not what you want!

    Anyway, by now you have hopefully called him and got an interview set up!
