Hiring
I went for an interview with a startup company, the interview process went very well, in which at the end of the first interview the VP of Marketing gave me action items to follow-up. This action items was to create a document on competitive analysis against their competition, he wanted me to write up a document (fact finding/competitive analysis) featuring 6 companies.
I created a 22 page document which when I was called back I handed this document over to this VP, the VP looked through it at a high level and gave it back�.then 1 week went by and then HR called me to meet the CEO of this startup..? I met the CEO, it was a fruitful 30 minute conversation which he stated to me �Oh the VP gave you some homework�
Now my question is based on California law, IF this startup company does not offer me this position, can I bill them for my services based on they gave me action items/ homework that would benefit them..? Since I felt like a consultant performing work for this company..?
In closing I did not getr the job and they did not provide me a reason either!
