Copy of my email to archpeople tonight, waiting for some answers!
Ok, Hi Natalie,
I think its time that we were all given some straight answers to some simple questions.
After seeing your company on the BAJR website, I decided to ask some friends advice before I decided if I should apply to you for work or not. I have recieved some answers but I might suggest that I give you the chance to speak for yourself.
1. Can you provide David at BAJR with the names of some of the companies that you have agreed to do work for?
2. Can you give us some references from the people you have worked for? After all if you have worked too hard etc, then you must have been around the block, so to speak, something I find a little bemusing at the age of 23!
3. Exactly how much experience have you had in the field?
4. Do you really already have people signed up to work for you?
5. Exactly how do you intend funding an operation of this order? In business, generally people will want to take at least 90 days credit, so you won't get paid until this period is over at the earliest, do you have funds enough to pay workers or will they have to wait until you get paid for the work?
6. Moto-rend? I hope this is not the type of work you expect serious archaeologists to be doing!!
I think its time to answer these questions, no more side stepping or swerving, but some measure of honesty please.
