I hate answering machines. I really, really do. I hate voicemail, too.
Okay, so I don't really hate mine. I can listen to messages someone else has left me just fine.
I just have trouble leaving messages.
And yes, this can act as a barrier to employment -- I get incredibly awkward when trying to leave someone a message... and three guesses what that does to the impression my message leaves a potential employer with?

The only thing to do is to write out a message ahead of time, in case you get the old "Please leave a message after the beep". That way you're not "caught off base" and can say something intelligent. Good luck, man.
