If you currently have a ringback tone on your phone, and you are actively seeking a job . . . You may want to consider removing your ringback tone.  Why you may ask, well let me tell you:

1. More often than not, the songs used are inappropriate.  If your song of choice talks about partying or getting drunk, what is an employer going to think?
2. Many people don’t know what they are.  This means that you could get a hiring manager calling you for a job interview, but instead of hearing a normal ring when they call, all they get is music.  The employer may then assume that your number is bad and go onto the next applicant.
3. It can be annoying or frustrating . . . The employer may not like your taste in music and if they have been bombarded with a lot of ringback tones in one day they may get frustrated and simply move on to the next person with a normal ring rather than listening to a song they hate.

In conclusion, it is a tough market, why do something that could make it harder for you to find a job.
