Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Hiring Practices
During new job search, two people I know asked for my resume. Sent to each. Each defense contractor company contatcted me, interviewed with both. Job offer from each. Accepted second companies offer. Notified first. Informed by first I couldn't interview with second because of conflict over government contract, both worked on same. Neither will hire now because first feels slighted and second has to work with them. Neither informed me not to interview with other companies during interview. I feel screwed. Is this worth pursuing?

Re: Hiring Practices
if you can produce evidence to support your allegations, you may have a very strong case for fraud, tortious interference with contract and/or prospective advantage. email me the specifics regarding your case and i can further assist and advise you of your legal rights against one or both companies.
Re: Hiring Practices
It is unlawful for a third party to interfere with a prospective contractual relationship you are about to enter into, if the reason that party interfered was for an improper purpose. You certainly may have a case, but whether it is worth pursuing depends on many factors, most important of which is what monetary harm they have caused you. You may not want to initiate legal action against either of these employers while still looking for a job, especially if this is a tightnit industry.
An attorney can investigate the facts for you and help you decide what your best option is.
