Call from Group Head out of the blue, before interviews

Ok, last post from me!

I received a call out of the blue from the equity derivatives desk for a bank that I have not interviewed with (in fact, I just talked to HR and they said they have not scheduled me for interviews yet and they haven't even created their resume book).

He called me from some 5 digit number and asked to talk to me about what they do and my interests.

This is after I applied for a S&T SA position at X bank.

What exactly is this call for? Is this my first round interview? He said the call would only take a few minutes.

Anyone got anything similar out of the blue like this? What should I expect?

Thanks so much

 

obviously he is spraying the alpha male scent on you first before the pack of analysts and associates go hounding after you b/c ur a sexy female in fitting wrap skirt and Mahnolo Blahnik shoes

it's a great sign, make sure u kiss lots of ass beforehand. helps mucho
