Looking for a job. Cell phone message says God Bless You/God loves u. Do employers think this is appropriate?

It depends on the employer. I personally feel that the message is good. There is no such thing as professional sms .

For the time being I would change it to you have reached __________I am not available to come to the phone right now, please leave a message and I will gert back to you *** soon as possible.

Although God Bless you / God Loves you is a nice message to leave, some employers may not agree, or ggetthe impression that you are a bible thumper. Either way there are a many reasons to keep your message as neutral as possible.

Unless you are only applying for positions in churches- you don't know the faith of the hiring party.

You do not know if there has been an issue with religion in the workplace.

If could result in you being discriminated against.

It's not inappropriate, but it *is* unprofessional. If you want prospective employers to think of you as a serious job candidate, you'd be better off with a greeting that sounds professional, not personal. (You can change it back again after you've found a job!)
