How do you handle trying to call school principals on the phone? (or teachers, school people in general)
Whenever I try to call a principal or school official for my job, I always get the "gatekeepers" or secretaries. They always say they'll take a message and have the person get back to me. But then I have to wait for them to call back! I can't sit by the phone all day. (I'm a freelancer; I'm not always at my desk.)
What is the right way to handle this?
Thanks for any ideas.
