To not answer an unknown number

I am a supply teacher, furloughed, and looking for jobs around the Chester area.

I have just had an unknown number call me which said it was from Birmingham. I didn't answer as usually I wait for unknown numbers to finish and then google the number.
Google did not have any info on the number.
No voicemail was left.

I'm just worried incase it was important.
But I can't think who would ring me from Birmingham.
But surely any job application callbacks would leave a voicemail?

Why not answer?
If it turns out to be a cold call or whatever, just hang up?

I never answer unknown or withheld numbers. As said, if its important they'd leave a message

If it was important they will call back or would have left a message.
