Called from 513-620-5654. The person said I had filled out a survey and requested to be contacted for job opportunities. I actually had filled out a survey the day before while applying for a job, so I thought it was related to that, but it actually wasn't.
The person I spoke to had a natural sounding voice, but the cadence of his speech and pauses was strangely robotic. I got the feeling that I was actually speaking to a computer.
I was asked about citizenship, if I was in the military, my education level, the year I graduated high school and if I had any outstanding student loans. Then he asked for my name and I realized this was not related to the job application I had filled out. I asked what survey I had filled out. He said it was a survey to receive a Walmart gift card. I told him that I never did such a survey. He said no problem, they could send me one anyway. I asked for the name of the company again. He told me and said they were a job matching company. He asked what my employment goals were for the next 5 years. He asked what was holding my back from my career goals. I said I wasn't going to discuss that with him. He said that if I could go back to school for the next 6 months while still working, would I want to do that. He just needed to collect some information from me to see if I qualified. I said I wasn't going to give any personal information to him. He said, "Have a good day, goodbye."
His speech was really weird. It sounded natural, but he was almost monotone and said, "OK?" after every statement I made and that "OK?" sounded like recording as it was identical every time. If I paused, he would pause also, for a long time sometimes. I could not shake the feeling that I was talking to some kind of computer controlled voice.
