Scam, scam, scam

I had my first scam interview yesterday. Apparently these are pretty common because my fiance attended one last year while he was looking for a job. The company I was asked to interview for was Global Solutions, but it turns out that the actual company is called Liquidity International, and Global Solutions is the name of their Austin office.

Agile Global Solutions/Liquidity International

I just returned to work after walking out of the presentation. I suspected within the first few minutes what it was all about. I gave Heather to the (approximate) 20 minute point where she started into compensation before walking out. I debated long before just how rude I'd be and played out various scenarios in my head on what I should say if confronted during my departure.

I tried to do all the right things. I searched and searched the Internet for "Global Solutions" in Austin to find a company web site. It wasn't until I reached Infospace.com when I matched Global Solutions with the address I was given, and learned the name "Agile Global Solutions." When I researched that company name, I learned of a fairly new IT related company providing staffing solutions. I presumed they wanted to talk to me regarding my IT experience. WRONG!!! What a waste of my time that was. I don't even know if "Agile Global Solutions" is legitimate, or if it is a fake storefront. They advertise IT job opportunities on Dice.com, but it may be a ploy to get folks to send their resumes in.

All I can advise at this time is, "Stay away if you have aspirations of advancing your IT career!"
