Virtual Agent Controller

Virtual Agent Controller This is a new and unique position loosely in the field of customer service. As a Virtual Agent Controller, you will take on the persona of a software avatar and control various aspects of its behavior -- in particular, conversation. You must have excellent social skills. You must be able to easily comprehend conversational, spoken, American English of various accents. You must also be able to quickly and accurately type written responses to what you hear in a way that is conversationally appropriate. For example, if you hear "I'm really tired today," you should be able to immediately respond by typing in something appropriate, such as "Oh, how come?" or "How about some coffee?" The above is the core of this job, but also you should be computer savvy and quick to learn new software interfaces, because you will need to use a web-based interface to perform other relatively simple tasks. We require staffing at all hours of the day, especially waking hours in the US. Please provide your availability when you apply for this job so that we can fit you with an appropriate shift. From mid-November to mid-December you will serve full-time as part of a pilot study. If successful, your full-time employment will be extended indefinitely as we scale up, and you may be given supervisory/trainer roles. Through these tasks, you will be participating in an exciting company that improves the quality of life of lonely seniors and reinforces family memories in Alzheimer's patients. If you are interested in this unique, people-oriented position, please contact us. Generic applications will be ignored, and we are uninterested in unrelated experience. Please mention why you are interested in this specific position and any relevant experience you may have.
