Okay so here's the thing if you're looking for a job, your resume is out on job boards, and you're talking to potential employers and companies: clear your mailbox!
One of the most frustrating things as a recruiter is contacting candidates and not being able to reach them because I can't leave a voice-mail. Delete your old voice-mails and listen to the new ones so you know who's calling you and you can return calls for job opportunities.
There is absolutely no reason to have a full voice mailbox is especially if you're already talking to potential employers and need to hear back from people. This prevents you from getting a job in many situations because time is everything in your job search and you can lose out to another candidate very quickly. There's absolutely no reason to have a full voice mailbox when it's on your phone and you can literally press one-button to delete the message.
