I applied to be a business consultant with Global Resources thinking that it would be a great way to meet new people and assist businesses. As part of the "vetting process" Global Resources emailed me an exercise to complete which involved as assessment of "ABC Company's" problems and finances. I spent about 8 hours over the weekend on the exercise and emailed it to the company Sunday evening at about 8 pm. Monday morning, I got an email saying that my exercise results were satisfactory and I could move onto the next stage towards employment. Then I noticed that the date time on the email telling me I passed the exercise was one hour before they opened the email up that I sent them with the exercise as an attachment. I sent back an email asking if they have even looked at the work I had spent so many hours on over the weekend. A few hours later, I got an email from them saying that "the selection committee has chosen to pursue other candidates who are a better match the position... Since this decision has been made, it is our policy to discontinue contact with you..." I called them on their lack of ethics and they have now discontinued contact. Works for me. I cannot imagine how a company like this stays in business for twenty years. My personal impression is that Global Resources is run by a team of first rate scam artists. Buyer and potential employees beware!!!
