Learning Sciences International Unethical business practices. Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

During a lengthy in-person interview for what appeared to be a consistent position with Learning Sciences International as a makeup artist and stylist contractor, Maggie Connell repeatedly and pervasively requested trade secret application techniques and product information while giving the impression that such information was being given only in anticipation of a forthcoming business relationship where money would be paid for makeup, hair and wardrobe services for video shoots and training.  

Over the course of the interview, it became clear after her repeated attempts to "pump me for information" that she was only after whatever professional tips, trade secret techniques and methods she could obtain and use; and had no intention of hiring any professional artist for the purposes she asserted in the interview.  Shortly after I refused to divulge any more information, the interview was concluded and I left Learning Sciences International.

Quite some time passed and I had not heard a rejection nor confirmation of the relationship contemplated as I had been told. Upon my initiation of contact with Maggie Connell, I was disappointed but not at all surprised to discover my services were not required.  

It is clear to me that Maggie Connell acted unethically and dishonestly.  Not only did they waste my time, and that of others I can only imagine whom interviewed as I did, but this is one more of within my learned profession that may not find work because of her apparent dishonest and unethical behavior.  Independent Contractors beware!
