What is the correct way to answer a business phone?

Q.What is the correct way to answer a business phone?

A. When answering your own line, state your name: Jane Doe speaking. When answering someone else's line, state their name: John Roe's office, how can I help you? When answering a general line, state the department (application development, how can I help you?) or the organization (Hacks 'R' Us, how can I help you?).

Welcome. Misc-Jobs.com is an experimental resource whose value to the public consists in opinions as well as facts of job search and worklife that are sometimes hiding but are true. They can be consequential to a job seeker. They can inform action and dialogue.

Please read and comment. Bring your own facts, opinions, questions and this resource may grow into something rich and strange as facts themselves.
