Called inquiring if I was interested in furthering my education. Talked to one person and was passed on to a counselor, who asked if I was interested in going back to college within the next six months.
Did you apply online for a job lately? This is “Amy” calling you. “She” inquired if I have been looking for a job and was going to register me on CareerGenie.Com. “She” even suggested I change my pay requirement from a specific amount to “Negotiable” so I don’t “shoot myself in the foot” (good advice). After every response I gave “she” paused then said, “got it”. Here is where it got suspicious, after “she” asked what my highest degree was (B.S.) “she” wanted to know what year I graduated High School. That is a question employers/recruiters can’t ask as it may expose them to Age Discrimination law suites. Then “she” asked what kind of classes I want to take in the future. None. “She” went on to suggest Business, Health Care, Education and Law. I already told her I’m an engineer when she asked what title I was seeking. I asked “Amy“ if “she” could repeat back for me the name of my dog. Then I was transferred to Alesha to take information about my future education. The sound quality was so average with Alesha, both voice and background, that confirmed I was talking to a BOT. I told Alesha I wasn’t interested and hung up. Want to have some fun give ridiculous answers like: Title – gerbil farmer; Pay – 25cents or One Million Dollars ala Austin Powers; Address – 666 Fallen Angel Way; ZIP code – 12345, 60609; High School graduation date – 1492, 1776, etc. I’m sure it will hang up if you use expletives.
