HR voicemail to call back - can't reach them

Hi friends,

Yesterday HR left me a voicemail regarding the position I had a superday with a few weeks back. At the time of the call I was taking an exam so I wasn't able to answer the call. The voicemail said to call them back as soon as I heard the voicemail and I had the chance to hear the voicemail an hour and a half after they made the call and I called them back. The number they gave me to call them back went straight to voicemail and I tried again a few more times and it goes straight to voicemail again (I didn't leave messages these times since it was around 5pm). I figure I'll call in the morning and try again and this morning I did and it went straight to voicemail again and this time I left them a message.

With this I was wondering what should I do if I don't hear back any time this week: e-mail the recruiter or just wait it out?

Bruce WayneCall the front desk at 9am and ask them to transfer you.

Nice. Should I also email him?

asiamoneyCall front desk, ask to get transferred. Try it once or twice and then send a follow-up email if no luck.

Nice one. I called him last week and I'll wait until midweek to call the front desk.
