Tip for Gen Y - keep your ring back tone normal when searching for a job.

I recently called a candidate with a very professional looking resume. Instead of hearing a normal ringing tone I was "treated" to Britney Spears' "toxic." Totally changed my first impression of the candidate before even exchanging a single word of conversation. I could care less what type of music a potential candidate enjoys. It's more the fact that the individual chose this to broadcast to potential employers making an initial contact.

If you are searching for a new career drop the Britney Spears. Besides, Britney was so 2000. Katie Perry is obviously much more relevant when on the job search.
