I was approached by CGI for a job. After an initial call, I informed CGI that I was not interested in joining, but was polite and thanked them for their time. After my rejection, CGI followed up and requested I meet with the VP to see if they could change my mind. After meeting with the VP and being promised several things, I agreed to take the job. After receiving an email confirmation of the job, pending a background check, I gave notice to my company. Two weeks later CGI informed me my job would no longer be progressing forward. Although I did quit my job without the official paperwork, I was taking the fact that I was aggressively headhunted and the email pending a background check at face value.
