tumblr.comtumblr.comPhone calls make some people nervous. This is heightened when the phone call is an interview or the first time you have spoken to someone€™s voice rather than just their email inbox. The thing is, you have not met them yet. If you say that it is nice to meet them you will look like a creeper who might be outside their window while you are on the phone to them. €œHi, great to talk to you€ or €œthanks for taking my call€ are a few safer options than €œIt€™s nice to meet you... I mean, it will be, I haven€™t met you yet...€

You are already in deep and this person thinks that you are a liar, so make it worth it and lie some more. In for a penny, in for a pound right?
